AI-ACCELERATED DRUG DISCOVERY
Available from Reaxense
This protein is integrated into the Receptor.AI ecosystem as a prospective target with high therapeutic potential. We performed a comprehensive characterization of Sialomucin core protein 24 including:
1. LLM-powered literature research
Our custom-tailored LLM extracted and formalized all relevant information about the protein from a large set of structured and unstructured data sources and stored it in the form of a Knowledge Graph. This comprehensive analysis allowed us to gain insight into Sialomucin core protein 24 therapeutic significance, existing small molecule ligands, relevant off-targets, and protein-protein interactions.

2. AI-Driven Conformational Ensemble Generation
Starting from the initial protein structure, we employed advanced AI algorithms to predict alternative functional states of Sialomucin core protein 24, including large-scale conformational changes along "soft" collective coordinates. Through molecular simulations with AI-enhanced sampling and trajectory clustering, we explored the broad conformational space of the protein and identified its representative structures. Utilizing diffusion-based AI models and active learning AutoML, we generated a statistically robust ensemble of equilibrium protein conformations that capture the receptor's full dynamic behavior, providing a robust foundation for accurate structure-based drug design.

3. Binding pockets identification and characterization
We employed the AI-based pocket prediction module to discover orthosteric, allosteric, hidden, and cryptic binding pockets on the protein’s surface. Our technique integrates the LLM-driven literature search and structure-aware ensemble-based pocket detection algorithm that utilizes previously established protein dynamics. Tentative pockets are then subject to AI scoring and ranking with simultaneous detection of false positives. In the final step, the AI model assesses the druggability of each pocket enabling a comprehensive selection of the most promising pockets for further targeting.

Background:
Sialomucin core protein 24, also known as Endolyn or Multi-glycosylated core protein 24, plays a pivotal role in various biological processes. It is instrumental in hematopoiesis, facilitating the adhesion of CD34(+) cells to the stroma and modulating their proliferation. Additionally, it influences the migration of umbilical cord blood CD133+ cells through the CXCL12/CXCR4 axis, and is implicated in prostate cancer metastasis and myogenesis by enhancing cell motility and promoting myoblast fusion into myotubes.
Therapeutic significance:
The association of Sialomucin core protein 24 with autosomal dominant deafness, 66, underscores its potential as a target for therapeutic intervention. Understanding the role of Sialomucin core protein 24 could open doors to potential therapeutic strategies, particularly in the treatment of sensorineural hearing loss and possibly in cancer metastasis and muscle regeneration.
