Binding of dihydroxynaphthyl aryl ketones to tubulin colchicine site inhibits microtubule assembly Gutiérrez, Eunices; Benites, Julio; Valderrama, Jaime; Buc Calderón, Pedro; Verrax, Julien; Nova Martínez, Esteban; Villanelo Lizana, Felipe; Maturana Middleton, Daniel; Escobar, Cristian; Lagos Mónaco, Rosalba; Monasterio Opazo, Octavio (Elsevier, 2015)Dihydroxynaphthyl aryl ketones 1e5 have been evaluated for their abilities to inhibit microtubule assembly and the binding to tubulin. Compounds 3, 4 and 5 displayed competitive inhibition against colchicine binding, and ...

Maldonado Villavicencio, Paula Andrea (Universidad de Chile, 2010)Durante la citoquinesis bacteriana, en el sitio de división se forma un polímero de FtsZ llamado el anillo Z cuya constricción contribuye a la división de la célula para dar origen a dos células hijas. Por esto, Ftsz es ...
-
Shin, Jae Yen (Universidad de Chile, 2003)La FtsZ polimeriza para formar el anillo Z alrededor del perímetro transversal en el centro de la célula cuando la bacteria E. coli inicia la formación del septo. En este proceso participan varias proteínas Fts para formar ...

Díaz Espinoza, Rodrigo; Garcés, Andrea P.; Arbildua, José J.; Montecinos, Felipe; Brunet, Juan E.; Lagos Mónaco, Rosalba; Monasterio Opazo, Octavio (COLD SPRING HARBOR LAB PRESS, 2007-08)FtsZ has two domains, the amino GTPase domain with a Rossmann fold, and the carboxyl domain that resembles the chorismate mutase fold. Bioinformatics analyses suggest that the interdomain interaction is stronger than the ...

Aguilera, Paulina; Marcoleta Caldera, Andrés; Lobos Ruiz, Pablo; Arranz, Rocío; Valpuesta, José M.; Monasterio Opazo, Octavio; Lagos Mónaco, Rosalba (Frontiers Media S.A., 2016)Microcin E492 (MccE492) is a pore-forming bacteriocin produced and exported by Klebsiella pneumoniae RYC492. Besides its antibacterial activity, excreted MccE492 can form amyloid fibrils in vivo as well as in vitro. It has ...
-
Arros Muñoz, Patricio Andrés (Universidad de Chile, 2022)Klebsiella pneumoniae (Kpn) is considered an urgent health threat due to the emergence of multidrug-resistant and hypervirulent strains attributed to the acquisition of mobile genetic elements (MGEs). One MGE possibly ...
