重组PDIA3蛋白的制备、活性测定及小分子抑制剂筛选

    Preparation, Activity Determination of Recombinant PDIA3 Protein and Screening for Its Small-molecule Inhibitors

    • 摘要: 蛋白质二硫键异构酶A3(Protein disulfide-isomerase A3,PDIA3)是PDI家族的成员之一,其核心功能是调控蛋白质二硫键的形成、断裂与重排,该酶与血栓形成、癌症、神经退行性疾病、病毒感染等多种生理和病理的发生发展密切相关,是一个极具潜力的药物干预靶点。该研究将PDIA3编码基因引入大肠杆菌表达系统,表达纯化获得了具有生物活性的重组PDIA3蛋白,在建立PDIA3抑制剂的高通量筛选方法的基础上,从4 080种天然产物库中筛选获得了110种PDIA3的小分子抑制剂。其中,存在于石榴果皮中的主要多酚类化合物安石榴苷(Punicalagin)的抑制效果较显著,其半数抑制率IC50为2.3 μmol·L−1,分子对接结果显示安石榴苷可能与PDIA3的b'结构域结合。研究结果为开发PDIA3靶向药物提供了候选分子和参考依据。

       

      Abstract: Protein disulfide-isomerase A3 (PDIA3), a member of the PDI family, plays a core role in regulating the formation, cleavage, and rearrangement of protein disulfide bonds. This enzyme is closely associated with the occurrence and progression of various physiological and pathological processes, including thrombosis, cancer, neurodegenerative diseases, and viral infections, making it a highly promising target for drug intervention. In this study, the gene encoding PDIA3 was introduced into an Escherichia coli expression system, and recombinant PDIA3 protein with biological activity was successfully expressed and purified. Based on the establishment of a high-throughput screening method for PDIA3 inhibitors, 110 small-molecule inhibitors of PDIA3 were identified from a natural product library comprising 4,080 compounds. Among these, Punicalagin, a major polyphenolic compound found in pomegranate peel, exhibited a relatively significant inhibitory effect, with a half-maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) of 2.3 μmol·L−1. Molecular docking results suggested that Punicalagin may bind to the b' domain of PDIA3. This study provides candidate molecules and a theoretical basis for the development of PDIA3-targeted drugs.
