Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAID) inhibit the eventual conversion of COXs to metabolites of arachidonic acid, including prostaglandins, prostacyclin, and thromboxanes, in the immune response after injury or infection. Selective COX-2 inhibitors (coxibs), a subset of NSAIDs, act specifically on the COX-2 enzyme. One of the coxibs, celecoxib, is marketed under the brand name Celebrex. Celebrex is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug that exhibits anti-inflammatory, analgesic and antipyretic activities. Like other coxibs, it inhibits prostaglandin synthesis and thus reduces inflammation, which are mediators of fever and pain. It is the only coxib currently available in the United States. In this study, the structure of Celebrex will be investigated by quantum mechanical methods and its interaction with amino acids in the COX-2 inhibition mechanism will be examined with the same approach through the amino acid arginine. For this, firstly, conformational analysis of Celebrex was performed by using Spartan18 with molecular mechanics. By using the density functional theory (DFT) method for selected conformers, optimization and frequency calculation were carried out with Gaussian16 at ωB97XD/6- 311++G(d,p) level mimicking the solvent as water. Relative energies were used to select the most stable conformers for each molecule. Molecular structures were displayed using Discovery Studio Visualizer 2019 program. A similar workflow was applied for arginine. The interactions of the most stable celecoxib and arginine structures were investigated at the same DFT level using the structures formed using Spartan18. It is thought that the results obtained from the calculations can help clinical studies in elucidating the working mechanism of Celebrex and contribute to the design of similar molecules with less side effects.

An integrative-omics analysis of an industrial clavulanic acid-overproducing Streptomyces clavuligerus KURT KIZILDOĞAN, ASLIHAN; Celik, Gozde; unsaldi, Eser; ÖZCAN, SERVET; AYAZ GÜNER, ŞERİFE; Özcengiz, Gülay (2022-09-01) Clavulanic acid (CA) is a clinically important secondary metabolite used to treat infectious diseases. We aimed to decipher complex regulatory mechanisms acting in CA biosynthesis by analyzing transcriptome- and proteome-wide alterations in an industrial CA overproducer Streptomyces clavuligerus strain, namely DEPA and its wild-type counterpart NRRL3585. A total of 924 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) and 271 differentially produced proteins (DPPs) were obtained by RNA-seq and nanoLC-MS/MS analyses, re...
Quantitative expression analysis of the genes potentially involved in clavulanic acid overproduction in streptomyces clavuligerus Aktaş, Caner; Özcengiz, Gülay; Department of Molecular Biology and Genetics (2018) Streptomyces clavuligerus is the producer of the medically important β-lactam antibiotics, including cephamycin C (CC) and the potent β-lactamase inhibitor clavulanic acid. (CA). We have already undertaken an extensive comparative proteomic analysis by using both 2-DE-MALDI-MS and GeLC-MS approaches between an industrial CA overproducer, namely DEPA and the reference strain NRRL3585. In this context, we documented several differentially expressed (over- and under-represented) proteins accounting for high CA...
Development of a novel zebrafish xenograft model in ache mutants using liver cancer cell lines Avci, M. Ender; Keskus, Ayse Gokce; Targen, Seniye; Isilak, M. Efe; Ozturk, Mehmet; Atalay, Rengül; ADAMS, MİCHELLE; KONU KARAKAYALI, ÖZLEN (2018-01-25) Acetylcholinesterase (AChE), an enzyme responsible for degradation of acetylcholine, has been identified as a prognostic marker in liver cancer. Although in vivo Ache tumorigenicity assays in mouse are present, no established liver cancer xenograft model in zebrafish using an ache mutant background exists. Herein, we developed an embryonic zebrafish xenograft model using epithelial (Hep3B) and mesenchymal (SKHep1) liver cancer cell lines in wild-type and achesb55 sibling mutant larvae after characterization...
Investigation of the Ligand Binding Characteristics of Staphylococcus aureus NorA Efflux Pump Işık , Esra Büşra; Serçinoğlu, Onur (Orta Doğu Teknik Üniversitesi Enformatik Enstitüsü; 2022-10) Staphylococcus aureus is a gram-positive bacterial pathogen which is highly adaptive to environmental conditions and causes various disorders. Excessive usage of antibiotics may result in development of antibiotic resistance in S. aureus. One of the resistance mechanisms is increase in the activity of transmembrane multi-drug efflux pumps. NorA is the most studied efflux pump in S. aureus, which belongs to Major Facilitator Superfamily (MFS). NorA has been shown to contribute to resistance against a variety...
Comparative Transcriptome Analyses of a Standard Strain and Clavulanic Acid Overproducing Industrial Strain of S. clavuligerus Çelik, Gözde; Özcengiz, Gülay; Son, Çağdaş Devrim; Department of Biotechnology (2021-9) Streptomyces clavuligerus is the producer of the medically important β-lactam antibiotics, including cephamycin C (CC) and potent β-lactamase inhibitor clavulanic acid (CA). In this study, comparative transcriptome analysis between an industrial stain, namely DEPA (CA overproducer strain which was developed by several rounds of classical random mutagenesis), and a reference strain NRLL3585 was performed by using the genome-wide RNA-seq technique. Our aim was to understand and improve the knowledge about the...
