The formylglycine-generating enzyme is a key regulator that converts sulfatase into an active form. Despite its key role in many diseases, enzyme activity inhibitors have not yet been reported. In this study, we investigated penta-peptide ligands for FGE activity inhibition and discovered two hit peptides. In addition, the lead peptides also showed potential antibacterial effects in a model.
甲酰甘氨酸生成酶是一种关键调节因子,可将硫酸酯酶转化为活性形式。尽管其在许多疾病中起关键作用,但尚未有酶活性抑制剂的报道。在本研究中,我们研究了用于抑制FGE活性的五肽配体,并发现了两种有活性的肽。此外,先导肽在模型中也显示出潜在的抗菌作用。
