MSUT2 Targeting Services

Research progress

A team of scientists from the United States found that by knocking out the MSUT2 gene in mice, it can successfully prevent the formation of Tau protein tangles that kill brain cells and reduce learning and memory problems. According to research, as long as the RNA binding protein PABPN1 (PolyA Binding Protein Nuclear 1) is not "exhausted", inhibiting MSUT2 may protect people from Alzheimer's disease. Under normal circumstances, MSUT2 works closely with PABPN1 to regulate the biology of Tau in the brain. The new study found that if MSUT2 is inhibited without affecting PABPN1, the pathological effects of Tau can be prevented. These results indicate that MSUT2 is expected to become a new target for the development of drugs for Alzheimer's disease. [1]

Our Services

  • Use molecular simulations to help determine the impact of small molecules on MSUT2 proteins, and provide help for your drug discovery.
  • Combine sequence diagram alignment with multiple structural information to help identify the folding of the target protein in the known template protein structure.
  • By optimizing the designed scoring function, the target sequence can be compared with each structural template. Repeat this process for all known 3D structures in the template database until the best fit is found.
  • Provide you with conservative sequence analysis services through bioinformatics.
