中文摘要 | Human monoacylglycerol lipase (MGL) catalyzes the hydrolysis of 2-arachidonoylglycerol to arachidonic and glycerol, which plays a pivotal role in the normal biological processes of brain. Co-crystal structure of the MGL in complex with its inhibitor, compound 1, shows that the helix alpha 4 undergoes large-scale conformational changes in response to the compound 1 binding compared to the apo MGL. However, the detailed conformational transition pathway of the helix alpha 4 in the inhibitor binding process of MGL has remained unclear. Here, conventional molecular dynamics (MD) and nudged elastic band (NEB) simulations were performed to explore the conformational transition pathway of the helix alpha 4. Conventional MD simulations unveiled that the compound 1 induced the closed conformation of the active site of MGL, reduced the conformational flexibility of the helix alpha 4, and elicited the large-scale conformational rearrangement of the helix alpha 4, leading to the complete folding of the helix alpha 4. Moreover, NEB simulations revealed that the conformational transition pathway of helix alpha 4 underwent an almost 180A degrees counter-clockwise rotation of the helix alpha 4. Our computational results advance the structural and mechanistic understanding of the inhibitory mechanism. |
