Disease
[TAF1_HUMAN] Defects in TAF1 are the cause of dystonia type 3 (DYT3) [MIM:314250]; also called X-linked dystonia-parkinsonism (XDP). DYT3 is a X-linked dystonia-parkinsonism disorder. Dystonia is defined by the presence of sustained involuntary muscle contractions, often leading to abnormal postures. DYT3 is characterized by severe progressive torsion dystonia followed by parkinsonism. Its prevalence is high in the Philippines. DYT3 has a well-defined pathology of extensive neuronal loss and mosaic gliosis in the striatum (caudate nucleus and putamen) which appears to resemble that in Huntington disease.[1] [2]
Function
[TAF1_HUMAN] Largest component and core scaffold of the TFIID basal transcription factor complex. Contains novel N- and C-terminal Ser/Thr kinase domains which can autophosphorylate or transphosphorylate other transcription factors. Phosphorylates TP53 on 'Thr-55' which leads to MDM2-mediated degradation of TP53. Phosphorylates GTF2A1 and GTF2F1 on Ser residues. Possesses DNA-binding activity. Essential for progression of the G1 phase of the cell cycle.[3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9]
Publication Abstract from PubMed
Targeting the interaction with or displacement of the 'right' water molecule can significantly increase inhibitor potency in structure-guided drug design. Multiple computational approaches exist to predict which waters should be targeted for displacement to achieve the largest gain in potency. However, the relative success of different methods remains underexplored. Here, we present a comparison of the ability of five water prediction programs (3D-RISM, SZMAP, WaterFLAP, WaterRank, and WaterMap) to predict crystallographic water locations, calculate their binding free energies, and to relate differences in these energies to observed changes in potency. The structural cohort included nine Bruton's Tyrosine Kinase (BTK) structures, and nine bromodomain structures. Each program accurately predicted the locations of most crystallographic water molecules. However, the predicted binding free energies correlated poorly with the observed changes in inhibitor potency when solvent atoms were displaced by chemical changes in closely related compounds.
