Yeast 20S proteasome in Complex with Kendomycin
| ||||||||||||
Structural highlights
Publication Abstract from PubMedNatural products are a valuable source for novel lead structures in drug discovery, but for the majority of isolated bioactive compounds the cellular targets are unknown. The structurally unique ansa-polyketide kendomycin was reported to exert its potent cytotoxic effects via impairment of the ubiquitin proteasome system, but the exact mode of action remained unclear. Here, we present a systematic biochemical characterization of kendomycin-proteasome interactions in vitro as well as in vivo, including complex structures of wildtype and mutant yeast 20S proteasome with kendomycin. Our results provide evidence for a polypharmacological mode of action for kendomycin's cytotoxic effect on cancer cells.
