摘要
Quercetin, the primary dietary flavonol, exerts a strong inhibitory effect on calcineurin (CN), a unique Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent serine/threonine protein phosphatase. Using fluorescence spectroscopy (FS) we showed quercetin strongly bound to calcineurin catalytic subunit (CNA) with a ratio of 1:1; we also showed that calcineurin regulatory subunit (CNB) weakened this binding. In addition, the secondary structure of CNA was much tighter in the presence of quercetin. An FS study with CNA truncated mutant CNAa showed that the binding area for quercetin was reduced to the catalytic domain of CNA. Furthermore, fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) results and molecular docking indicated three potential binding sites for quercetin, which were located at a region between the active centre of CNA and the CNB binding domain, a similar binding area to that of cyclosporin A and tacrolimus. Interestingly, this region was also important for CN substrate recognition. Crown Copyright (C) 2011 Published by Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
