Research Abstract |
Function, expression, stability and cellular localization of proteins are determined by their three dimensional structure. Therefore, control of the conformation of proteins results on regulation of their function/stability/localization. Abnormal conformation of specific proteins results in various incurable diseases. This research projects resulted in creation of: (1) various nuclear receptor ligands which control the function of the receptors by regulating their conformation, (2) small molecules (pharmacological chaperons) which correct abnormal trafficking of mutated proteins (ex. mutated rhodopsin which causes retinitis pigmentosa, NPC1 which caused Niemann-Pick type 1 disease), and (3) small molecules (SNIPERS) which induce degradation of target proteins in living cells.
