“…Transglutaminases (TGMs) form a family of structurally-and functionally related enzymes that posttranslationally modify proteins by catalyzing a Ca 21 -dependent transferase reaction between the ccarboxamide group of a peptide-bound glutamine residue and various primary amines (Yee et al, 1994). Nine distinctly expressed TGM genes are present in mammals (Fesus and Piacentini, 2002).…”

Our previous study identified a new form of spinocerebellar ataxia (SCA), in which mutations in the gene coding for transglutaminase 6 (TG6) were suggested to be causative. However, the data concerning cellular distribution of TG6 in the brain is still fragmentary. Therefore, we now report a comprehensive immunohistochemical examination of the expression profile of TG6 in adult mouse brain. TG6 was abundantly expressed in the septal region, basal ganglia, hypothalamus and brainstem. Notably, numerous TG6-positive neurons were found in the key brain regions involved in regulating locomotion activity, including the globus pallidus, subthalamic nucleus, substantia nigra, cerebellum, some precerebellar nuclei, and spinal motor neurons. Double immunostaining showed that the vast majority of TG6-positive neurons in the reticular nigra were GABAergic and those in the compact nigra were not dopaminergic. In addition, double staining for TG6 with either anti-NeuN or glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) antibodies demonstrated exclusive NeuN-TG6 co-localization. This study presents a comprehensive overview of TG6 expression in the mouse brain, and provides insight for investigating the role of TG6 in the development of SCA.

“…Therefore, assuming that a similar cysteine-based epoxide opening mechanism to that observed with FAS was present, molecular modelling was performed in order to deduce a likely binding pose for the pre-covalent attack complex of cerulenin within the FXIII-A active site and to also aid in the design of analogues. For these in silico studies, in the absence of a crystal structure of the activated form of the enzyme, a model of FXIII-A was created from the published zymogen crystal structure (1GGT.pdb) [4], by manually deleting the 'blocking' barrel domains (involving deletion of 229 residues between W500 -P729 inclusive) to reveal the active site. Cerulenin was then manually positioned into this active site model of FXIII-A.…”

“…Several crystal structures of human zymogen FXIII have been solved and consistently reveal the presence of a C314, H373, D396 triad [3]. Zymogen FXIII has no transglutaminase activity as the catalytic triad is buried deep in the core domain of the enzyme surrounded by two barrel domains, which block the entrance to the active site of the enzyme [4]. Conversion into the active transglutaminase (FXIII-A) is mediated by thrombin and Ca 2+ and involves a large conformational change, which removes the barrel domains from the core region thus allowing the substrates access to the active site [5].…”

(±) cis-bisamido epoxides: A novel series of potent FXIII-A inhibitors

A novel class of potent FXIII-A inhibitors containing a (±) cis-bisamido epoxide pharmacophore is described. The compounds display highly potent inhibition of FXIII-A (IC 50 = 5-500 nM) in an in vitro assay. In contrast to other types of previously described covalent transglutaminase inhibitors, the bis-amido epoxides exhibited no measurable reactivity with glutathione, therefore possibly rendering this class of compounds suitable for future in vivo investigations. Additionally, the compounds show selective inhibition for FXIII-A against the cysteine protease, cathepsin S although they proved to have similar potency with a closely related transglutaminase, TGII, to that observed for FXIII-A.
