| Περίληψη: | Chemical rescue is a technique for restoring the activity and/or structure of an engineered or naturally occurring (e.g., disease-associated) mutant protein by the introduction of a "molecular crutch" that abrogates the mutation's effect. This method was developed about 4 decades ago to facilitate mechanistic analysis of enzymes. Since then, a variety of purified proteins inactivated by site-directed mutagenesis have been successfully rescued by substrate moieties or exogenous small molecules, an approach that has continued to serve as an important tool for mechanistic enzymologists. More recently, chemical rescue has been applied to activate engineered proteins in intact biological systems for phenotypic and pathway-level analyses. There is growing interest in therapeutic applications of chemical rescue to correct protein mutations that give rise to human diseases. In this review, we first contextualize chemical rescue and discuss its utility in protein mechanistic analysis. Second, we review the advantages and caveats associated with using this approach to study protein function within biological settings. Third, we provide an overview of efforts to develop folding correctors that restore the proper function of disease-associated protein mutants. To conclude, future directions and challenges for the chemical rescue field are discussed. (Copyright © 2025 The Authors. Published by Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.) |
