Abstract:
:Toll-like receptor 2 (TLR2), a member of the TLR innate immune receptor family, recognizes lipoproteins from bacteria and modulates the immune response by inducing the expression of various cytokines. TLR2 has a large hydrophobic pocket that recognizes long fatty acyl groups on TLR2 ligands. However, few studies have focused on the property of the hydrophobic TLR2 pocket. Based on the X-ray crystal structure of TLR2, small polar regions were found in the hydrophobic TLR2 pocket. Interactions between the polar residues and ligands were explored here by designing and synthesizing a Pam2CSK4 derivative of the TLR2 ligands, containing an amide group within the lipid moiety. We evaluated the binding affinities and immunomodulatory activities of these ligands. Results suggested that the amide groups in the lipid chain interacted with the polar residues in the hydrophobic lipid-binding pocket of TLR2.

杂志文章abstract::A stereocontrolled synthetic route has been used to prepare two of the geometric isomers of all-trans-GGPP. Neither of these isomers is effective substrates for mammalian GGTase I, but 3 is a potent inhibitor of this enzyme (IC(50)=100 nM). Surprisingly, both compounds are effective substrates for mammalian FTase. ...
