摘要:
The present invention is based, at least in part, on the identification of a novel active site on BCL-2 family polypeptide such as BAX, which when bound by a compound, modifies the activity of the BCL-2 family polypeptide.
摘要:
The invention provides a method for identifying a compound which modulates the activity of a BCL-2 family polypeptide, the method comprising: a) contacting said BCL-2 family polypeptide with a compound under conditions suitable for modulation of the activity of said BCL-2 family polypeptide; and b) detecting modulation of the activity of said BCL-2 family polypeptide by the compound, wherein the compound interacts with a binding site comprising one or more of an α1 helix, α2 helix, a loop between α1-α2, α6 helix, and select residues of α4, α5, and α8 helices in said BCL-2 family polypeptide; wherein the interaction of the compound with the binding site occurs at a horizontal hydrophobic groove with or without a perimeter of charged and hydrophilic residues, a superior juxta-loop, an inferior juxta-loop, or combination thereof.
