| Research Abstract |
Since the start of this project we have developed a computational approach to efficiently target protein-protein interactions, currently a hot topic in drug discovery. The sumo-sim interaction is essential in sumoylation and remains poorly understood. Therefore there is a need for a chemical probe to investigate this interaction. We have demonstrated the feasibility to target the SUMO-SIM interaction with druglike compounds for PPI inhibition as well as stimulation. These results have been published into 2 different publications. Given these promising results and after the development of the assays, a medium throughput screening experiment was set up and novel classes of compounds were identified that have possibly a more promising future for clinical usage. While this project is now terminated, it has opened a path to future research efforts as these compounds are interesting for optimization to analyse the sumo-SIM interactions and evaluate clinical usage (chemo and radio sensitization of cancer cells).
Furthermore parallel with this research a novel method to utilize electrostatics for drug discovery targeting protein-protein interactions was developed and evaluated. This new method was also employed during the SAMPL4 virtual screening challenge and helped in obtained the highest ranking score.
