Peptide Synthesis> | For the fluorescence displacement assay, 1:1 complex of Rev1-CT with FAM-Polκ-RIR peptide (Polκ residues 560-575 modified with the N-terminal fluorescent FAM label; purchased from GenScript, USA) was prepared by mixing the unlabeled Rev1-CT with an excess of the peptide, followed by gel-filtration chromatography and exchange of the complex into 50 mM NaH2PO4, 100 mM NaCl, 10% D2O, pH 7. | Get A Quote |
Translesion synthesis (TLS) is a mechanism of replication past damaged DNA through which multiple forms of human cancer survive and acquire resistance to first-line genotoxic chemotherapies. As such, TLS is emerging as a promising target for the development of a new class of anti-cancer agents. The C-terminal domain of the DNA polymerase Rev1 (Rev1-CT) mediates assembly of the functional TLS complex through protein-protein interactions (PPIs) with Rev1 interacting regions (RIRs) of several other TLS DNA polymerases. Utilizing structural knowledge of the Rev1-CT/RIR interface, we have identified the phenazopyridine scaffold as an inhibitor of this essential TLS PPI. We demonstrate direct binding of this scaffold... More
