Inhibitory effects of 5-S-GAD on phosphorylation of V-SRC and BCR-ABL tyrosine kinase

Biol Pharm Bull. 1998 Jul;21(7):784-5. doi: 10.1248/bpb.21.784.

Abstract

We examined the inhibitory effects of N-beta-alanyl-5-S-glutathionyl-3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine (5-S-GAD), a novel antibacterial substance from the immunized adult Sarcophaga peregrina (flesh fly), on protein phosphorylation using immune complexes of protein tyrosine kinases (PTKs) with anti-PTKs monoclonal antibody. We found that 5-S-GAD directly inhibited not only tyrosine phosphorylation of PTK p60(v-src), but also tyrosine phosphorylation of PTK p210(BCR-ABL). The inhibitory potency of 5-S-GAD was comparable to that of radicicol and herbimycin A of PTK inhibitor.
