| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
To increase the expression of Homo Sapience VKORC1 (HsVKORC1) and Rattus Norvegicus VKORC1 (RnVKORC1), we performed the codon optimization and cloned the HsVKORC1 and RnVKORC1 gene into the expression vector. After co-transfection of insect cells with baculovirus DNA and the expression vector, the recombinant baculovirus was amplified to obtain a higher titer stock solution. Virus titer was detected virus infections and plaque formation.
While we performed homology modeling of HsVKORC1, RnVKORC1, and Bos taurus VKORC1(BtVKORC1), as their three-dimensional (3D) structures had not been reported. Then, we performed molecular docking of Warfarin bound to HsVKORC1 and RnVKORC1 in molecular docking studies. As a result, our study revealed the binding site and binding mode of Warfarin into HsVKORC1, RnVKORC1, and BtVKORC1 from our docking model.
