Abstract:

Two protonated states of glucose/H+ symporter with cytochalasin B were simulated by means of molecular dynamics experiments. It was concluded that cytochalasin B has a better inhibitory effect on glucose transporter proteins in the deprotonation phase. It was found that tryptophan 357 and proline 117 are key amino acids for glucose transporter protein binding to cytochalasin B. Not only that, but when the inhibitor acts, the relative position of tryptophan 357 located on the TM10 to cytochalasin B is important for the binding of the inhibitor. These new findings provide a molecular basis for the understanding of the mechanism of glucose-proton cotransport protein inhibition and the development of drug targets for it.
