Abstract
Inhibitors of phosphoserine- or posphothreonine-specific peptidyl prolyl isomerases are described. Such inhibitors include molecules that mimic the structure and conformation of the pSer/pThr-Pro peptide moiety of the isomerase substrate when the substrate is bound into the active site of the isomerase. For example, a protein, peptide or peptide mimetic including xSer/ThrY where x is a negatively charged tetra or pentavalent moiety and Y is a Pro or a Pro analog. Methods of inhibiting cell growth and methods of identifying phosphoserine- or phosphothreonine-proline specific peptidyl-prolyl isomerase inhibitors are also included in the invention.
