PIN1 PEPTIDYL-PROLYL ISOMERASE POLYPEPTIDES, THEIR CRYSTAL STRUCTURES, AND USE THEREOF FOR DRUG DESIGN

摘要

Polypeptides containing the PIN1 peptidyl-prolyl isomerase domain but not containing the PIN1 WW domain are described. Also described are crystal structures of these polypeptides, including the crystal structure of a PIN1 PPlaseaigand complex. The structure coordinate data derived from these crystals provides a three-dimensional description of the substrate-binding site of PIN1 peptidyl-prolyl isomerase useful in drug discovery and design for the identification and design of modulators of PIN1 peptidyl-prolyl isomerase activity.
