Its cytotoxicity makes it potentially applicable in cancer therapy. However, the effectiveness of hGB can be hampered by the cytosolic expression of a natural protein inhibitor, human Serpin B9 (hSB9). Here, we used computational approaches to identify hGB mutations that can affect its binding to hSB9 without significantly decreasing its catalytic efficiency. Alanine-scanning calculations allowed us to identify residues of hGB important for the interaction with hSB9. Some variants were selected, and molecular dynamic simulations on the mutated hGB in complex with hSB9 in aqueous solution were carried out to investigate the effect of these variants on the stability of the complex. The R28K, R201A, and R201K mutants significantly destabilized the interaction of the protein with hSB9. Consistently, all of these variants also retained their activity in the presence of the Serpin B9 inhibitor in subsequent in vitro assays of wild-type and mutated hGB. In particular, the activity of R201K hGB with and without Serpin B9 is very similar to that of the wild-type protein. Hence, R201K hGB emerges as a promising species for antitumoral therapy applications 000201291 536__ $$0G:(DE-HGF)POF2-899$$a899 - ohne Topic (POF2-899)$$cPOF2-899$$fPOF I$$x0 000201291 588__ $$aDataset connected to CrossRef, juser.fz-juelich.de 000201291 7001_ $$0P:(DE-HGF)0$$aSchiffer, Sonja$$b1 000201291 7001_ $$0P:(DE-HGF)0$$aBarth, Stefan$$b2 000201291 7001_ $$0P:(DE-Juel1)145614$$aCarloni, Paolo$$b3$$eCorresponding Author$$ufzj 000201291 773__ $$0PERI:(DE-600)1475032-6$$a10.1002/prot.24133$$gVol. 80, no. 11, p. 2514 - 2522$$n11$$p2514 - 2522$$tProteins$$v80$$x0887-3585$$y2012 000201291 8564_ $$uhttps://juser.fz-juelich.de/record/201291/files/24133_ftp.pdf$$yRestricted 000201291 8564_ $$uhttps://juser.fz-juelich.de/record/201291/files/24133_ftp.gif?subformat=icon$$xicon$$yRestricted 000201291 8564_ $$uhttps://juser.fz-juelich.de/record/201291/files/24133_ftp.jpg?subformat=icon-1440$$xicon-1440$$yRestricted 000201291 8564_ $$uhttps://juser.fz-juelich.de/record/201291/files/24133_ftp.jpg?subformat=icon-180$$xicon-180$$yRestricted 000201291 8564_ $$uhttps://juser.fz-juelich.de/record/201291/files/24133_ftp.jpg?subformat=icon-640$$xicon-640$$yRestricted 000201291 8564_ $$uhttps://juser.fz-juelich.de/record/201291/files/24133_ftp.pdf?subformat=pdfa$$xpdfa$$yRestricted 000201291 909CO $$ooai:juser.fz-juelich.de:201291$$pVDB 000201291 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0100$$2StatID$$aJCR 000201291 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0110$$2StatID$$aWoS$$bScience Citation Index 000201291 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0111$$2StatID$$aWoS$$bScience Citation Index Expanded 000201291 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0150$$2StatID$$aDBCoverage$$bWeb of Science Core Collection 000201291 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0199$$2StatID$$aDBCoverage$$bThomson Reuters Master Journal List 000201291 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0200$$2StatID$$aDBCoverage$$bSCOPUS 000201291 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0300$$2StatID$$aDBCoverage$$bMedline 000201291 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0310$$2StatID$$aDBCoverage$$bNCBI Molecular Biology Database 000201291 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)1030$$2StatID$$aDBCoverage$$bCurrent Contents - Life Sciences 000201291 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)1050$$2StatID$$aDBCoverage$$bBIOSIS Previews 000201291 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)9900$$2StatID$$aIF < 5 000201291 9101_ $$0I:(DE-588b)1026307295$$6P:(DE-HGF)0$$aGerman Research School for Simulation Sciences$$b0$$kGRS 000201291 9101_ $$0I:(DE-588b)5008462-8$$6P:(DE-Juel1)145614$$aForschungszentrum Jülich GmbH$$b3$$kFZJ 000201291 9132_ $$0G:(DE-HGF)POF3-899$$1G:(DE-HGF)POF3-890$$2G:(DE-HGF)POF3-800$$aDE-HGF$$bForschungsbereich Materie$$lForschungsbereich Materie$$vohne Topic$$x0 000201291 9131_ $$0G:(DE-HGF)POF2-899$$1G:(DE-HGF)POF2-890$$2G:(DE-HGF)POF2-800$$3G:(DE-HGF)POF2$$4G:(DE-HGF)POF$$aDE-HGF$$bProgrammungebundene Forschung$$lohne Programm$$vohne Topic$$x0 000201291 920__ $$lyes 000201291 9201_ $$0I:(DE-Juel1)GRS-20100316$$kGRS$$lGRS$$x0 000201291 9201_ $$0I:(DE-Juel1)IAS-5-20120330$$kIAS-5$$lComputational Biomedicine$$x1 000201291 980__ $$ajournal 000201291 980__ $$aVDB 000201291 980__ $$aI:(DE-Juel1)GRS-20100316 000201291 980__ $$aI:(DE-Juel1)IAS-5-20120330 000201291 980__ $$aUNRESTRICTED 000201291 981__ $$aI:(DE-Juel1)INM-9-20140121 000201291 981__ $$aI:(DE-Juel1)IAS-5-20120330
