| Targets |
SMI481 targets Sec14-like phosphatidylinositol transfer proteins (PITPs), specifically the yeast PITP Sec14. Sec14 is a key regulator of phosphoinositide signaling, regulating membrane trafficking through the trans-Golgi network and endosomal systems. SMI481 selectively inhibits Sec14-mediated transfer of phosphatidylinositol (PtdIns). The compound's activity involves binding in the Sec14 hydrophobic cavity. This represents a new target for studying phosphoinositide signaling with more selectivity than lipid kinase-directed strategies. SMI481 is the first small-molecule inhibitor of this target class.
|
|---|---|
| ln Vitro |
In vitro studies demonstrate that SMI481 is a selective inhibitor of the yeast PITP Sec14. The compound blocks Sec14-mediated transfer of [3H]-PtdIns in vitro with an IC50 of 0.21 μM. SMI481 also inhibits yeast growth with an IC50 of 2.87 μM. The compound's activity involves binding in the Sec14 hydrophobic cavity. As the first small-molecule Sec14-like PITP inhibitor, SMI481 provides a valuable tool for studying phosphoinositide signaling. The compound shows selectivity for Sec14 over other targets.
|
| ln Vivo |
In vivo data for SMI481 is limited in the available literature. As an inhibitor of Sec14-like PITPs, the compound's effects on phosphoinositide signaling and membrane trafficking have been characterized primarily in yeast systems. The compound inhibits yeast growth with an IC50 of 2.87 μM, confirming its cellular activity. Sec14 is the sole essential NPPM target in yeast. Further studies in mammalian systems are warranted to evaluate the compound's effects on PITP function and phosphoinositide signaling.
|
| Enzyme Assay |
The in vitro enzyme assay for SMI481 involves measuring Sec14-mediated phosphatidylinositol (PtdIns) transfer activity. Sec14 protein is incubated with liposomes containing [3H]-PtdIns and acceptor membranes in the presence of varying concentrations of SMI481 (1 nM-100 μM). The transfer of [3H]-PtdIns from donor to acceptor membranes is measured by scintillation counting or filter-binding methods. IC50 values are calculated from dose-response curves. For growth inhibition studies, yeast cells are cultured in liquid media with varying concentrations of SMI481 (0.1-100 μM) and growth is monitored by OD600 measurements. Binding affinity is assessed using isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC) or surface plasmon resonance (SPR).
|
| Cell Assay |
In vitro cellular assays for SMI481 use yeast cells (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) as the primary model system. Yeast cells are cultured in appropriate media and treated with the compound at concentrations of 0.1-100 μM for 1-24 hours. Cell growth is monitored by OD600 measurements. Phosphoinositide levels are measured by lipid extraction and mass spectrometry or thin-layer chromatography. Membrane trafficking is assessed using fluorescent protein markers for Golgi and endosomal compartments. Cell viability is assessed using plate assays or flow cytometry. The compound's selectivity is confirmed by testing in Sec14 mutant strains.
|
| Animal Protocol |
In vivo animal studies for SMI481 are not extensively reported. As a yeast PITP inhibitor, the compound is primarily used for studying Sec14 function in yeast. For potential mammalian applications, studies would involve cell culture models or mouse models. The compound's activity in mammalian cells would need to be established. Based on its mechanism, SMI481 could be useful for studying phosphoinositide signaling and membrane trafficking in various biological contexts.
