デザインタンパク質による疾患治療へ

異常なナトリウムチャネルの機能を選択的に制御するde novoタンパク質をデザイン(正常なチャネルには影響が少ない)。異なるナトリウムチャネルに効果的で、てんかんや心不全のモデルで症状を改善

実際の薬ができるのも近そうです

De novo design of a peptide modulator to reverse sodium channel dysfunction linked to cardiac arrhythmias and epilepsy
De novo protein design was used to engineer a peptide that reverses gain-of-function deficits in voltage-gated sodium channels linked to cardiac arrhythmia and epilepsy.

Excited to share our latest work in expanding AI-based protein design into targeting PTMs! I’m particularly excited in this work as there is so much we don’t know about PTMs despite their central role in signaling and hopefully we can start to decode their rules and functions.
Phosphorylation on tyrosines control key pathways in immunity, cancer, and metabolism. For the first time, we can now design proteins that specifically recognize individual phosphotyrosines, even in disordered regions. (1/8)

Our latest paper is finally published in @natcomms.nature.com (doi.org/10.1038/s414...) !! We successfully constructed synthetic multinuclear metal complexes using only proteins.

Excited to share that I’ll be joining UCLA Bioengineering as a tenure-track professor! My lab will focus on AI-driven molecular engineering to study cellular signaling. As someone 100% educated in US public schools, I’m proud to continue working in public education and inspiring future scientists!
