    Abstract DNA-encoded libraries (DELs) are a powerful platform in drug discovery. Peptides have unique properties that make them attractive pharmaceutical candidates. N-methylation of the peptide backbone can confer beneficial properties such as increased proteolytic stability and membrane permeability. Herein, we evaluate different DEL reaction systems and report a DNA-compatible protocol for forming N-methylated amide bonds. The DNA-compatible, bis(trichloromethyl)carbonate-mediated amide coupling is efficient for the formation of N-methyl peptide bonds, which promises to increase the opportunity to identify passively cell-permeable macrocyclic peptide hits by DNA-encoded technology.

    Abstract Regulation of lipoxygenase (LOX) activity is of great interest due to the involvement of the various LOX isoforms in the inflammatory process and hence many diseases. The bulk of investigations have centered around the discovery and design of inhibitors. However, the emerging understanding of the role of h15-LOX-1 in the resolution of inflammation provides a rationale for the development of activators as well. Bicyclic pyrazolines are known bioactive molecules that have been shown to display antibiotic and anti-inflammatory activities. In the current work, we reevaluated a previously discovered bicyclic pyrazoline h15-LOX-1 activator, PKUMDL_MH_1001 (written as

    Abstract The pathological accumulation of cholesterol is a signature feature of Niemann-Pick type C (NPC) disease, in which excessive lipid levels induce Purkinje cell death in the cerebellum. NPC1 encodes a lysosomal cholesterol-binding protein, and mutations in NPC1 drive cholesterol accumulation in late endosomes and lysosomes (LE/Ls). However, the fundamental role of NPC proteins in LE/L cholesterol transport remains unclear. Here, we demonstrate that NPC1 mutations impair the projection of cholesterol-containing membrane tubules from the surface of LE/Ls. A proteomic survey of purified LE/Ls identified StARD9 as a novel lysosomal kinesin responsible for LE/L tubulation. StARD9 contains an N-terminal kinesin domain, a C-terminal StART domain, and a dileucine signal shared with other lysosome-associated membrane proteins. Depletion of StARD9 disrupts LE/L tubulation, paralyzes bidirectional LE/L motility and induces accumulation of cholesterol in LE/Ls. Finally, a novel StARD9 knock-out mouse recapitulates the progressive loss of Purkinje cells in the cerebellum. Together, these studies identify StARD9 as a microtubule motor protein responsible for LE/L tubulation and provide support for a novel model of LE/L cholesterol transport that becomes impaired in NPC disease.
