摘要:
The present inventors succeeded in isolating GWT1 (PfGWT1), which is one of the enzymes involved in GPI biosynthesis in the malaria parasite P. falciparum. In addition, the inventors revealed that degenerate mutant DNAs, with a lower AT content than the DNA encoding the PfGWT1 protein, can complement the phenotype of GWT1-deficient yeast. Based on the findings, the present invention provides the GWT1 protein of malaria parasites and the use of the protein in methods of screening for antimalarial drugs. The present invention also provides degenerate mutant DNAs encoding proteins involved in GPI biosynthesis, and which have a lower AT content than the original DNAs. The present invention also provides methods of screening for antimalarial drugs which use the degenerate mutant DNAs.

Disclosed is an antimalarial agent containing a compound represented by the formula: [wherein A1 represents a 3-pyridyl group that may have a substituent, a 6-quinolyl group that may have a substituent, or the like; X1 represents a group represented by the formula —C(═O)—NH— or the like; E represents a furyl group, a thienyl group or a phenyl group; with the proviso that A1 may have one to three substituents, and E has one of two substituents] or a salt thereof or hydrates thereof.
摘要:
A reporter system reflecting the transport process that transports GPI-anchored proteins to the cell wall was constructed and compounds inhibiting this process were discovered. Further, genes conferring resistance to the above compounds were identified and methods of screening for compounds that inhibit the activity of the proteins encoded by these genes were developed. Therefore, through the novel compounds, the present invention showed that antifungal agents having a novel mechanism, i.e. inhibiting the process that transports GPI-anchored proteins to the cell wall, could be achieved.

These genes encode proteins participating in fungal cell wall synthesis.

An object of the present invention is to provide a method, a probe, a primer, an antibody, a reagent, and a kit for assaying an action of a pladienolide derivative to a living subject. According to the present invention, there is provided a method for assaying an action of the pladienolide derivative using splicing defect as an index.
摘要:
A method of measuring the binding activity of a test compound to a splicing factor 3b (SF3b), which comprises the following steps of: (a) contacting a labeled pladienolide compound and a test compound with a cell or a cell fraction; and (b) measuring the distribution of the bound labeled compound. The method enables to screen for a novel active compound capable of acting on (binding to) a pladienolide target molecule or the like.
