Molecular dynamics studies of the wild-type and double mutant HIV-1 integrase complexed with the 5CITEP inhibitor: mechanism for inhibition and drug resistance.

ABSTRACT: The human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) integrase (IN) is an essential enzyme in the life cycle of the virus and is an attractive target for the development of new drugs useful in acquired immunodeficiency syndrome multidrug therapy. Starting from the crystal structure of the 5CITEP inhibitor bound to the active site in the catalytic domain of the HIV-1 IN, two different molecular dynamics simulations in water have been carried out. In the first simulation the wild-type IN was used, whereas in the second one the double mutation T66I/M154I, described to lead to drug resistance, was introduced in the protein. Compelling differences have been observed in these two structures during analyses of the molecular dynamics trajectories, particularly in the inhibitor binding modes and in the conformational flexibility of the loop (residues 138-149) located near the three catalytic residues in the active site (Asp(64), Asp(116), Glu(152)). Because the conformational flexibility of this region is important for efficient biological activity and its behavior is quite different in the two models, we suggest a hypothetical mechanism for the inhibition and drug resistance of HIV-1 IN. These results can be useful for the rational design of more potent and selective integrase inhibitors and may allow for the design of inhibitors that will be more robust against known resistance mutations.

Project description:In the present work, the binding of inhibitor TMC114 (darunavir) to wild-type (WT), single (I50V) as well as double (I50L/A71V) mutant HIV-proteases (HIV-pr) was investigated with all-atom molecular dynamics (MD) simulations as well as molecular mechanic-Poisson-Boltzmann surface area (MM-PBSA) calculation. For both the apo and complexed HIV-pr, many intriguing effects due to double mutant, I50L/A71V, are observed. For example, the flap-flap distance and the distance from the active site to the flap residues in the apo I50L/A71V-HIV-pr are smaller than those of WT- and I50V-HIV-pr, probably making the active site smaller in volume and closer movement of flaps. For the complexed HIV-pr with TMC114, the double mutant I50L/A71V shows a less curling of the flap tips and less flexibility than WT and the single mutant I50V. As for the other previous studies, the present results also show that the single mutant I50V decreases the binding affinity of I50V-HIV-pr to TMC, resulting in a drug resistance; whereas the double mutant I50L/A71V increases the binding affinity, and as a result of the stronger binding, the I50L/A71V may be well adapted by the TMC114. The energy decomposition analysis suggests that the increase of the binding for the double mutant I50L/A71V-HIV-pr can be mainly attributed to the increase in electrostatic energy by -5.52 kacl/mol and van der Waals by -0.42 kcal/mol, which are canceled out in part by the increase of polar solvation energy of 1.99 kcal/mol. The I50L/A71V mutant directly increases the binding affinity by approximately -0.88 (Ile50 to Leu50) and -0.90 (Ile50' to Leu50') kcal/mol, accounting 45% for the total gain of the binding affinity. Besides the direct effects from the residues Leu50 and Leu50', the residue Gly49' increases the binding affinity of I50L/A71V-HIV-pr to the inhibitor by -0.74 kcal/mol, to which the electrostatic interaction of Leu50's backbone contributes by -1.23 kcal/mol. Another two residues Ile84 and Ile47' also increase the binding affinity by -0.22 and -0.29 kcal/mol, respectively, which can be mainly attributed to van der Waals terms (ΔT(vdw) = -0.21 and -0.39 kcal/mol).

Project description:Deinococcus radiodurans exposed to higher doses of gamma radiation showed induced levels of DRB0091 polypeptide annotated as a putative response regulator in an operon expressing downstream to DRB0090, histidine kinase. Deletion of drB0090 generated double mutation for both of these genes, which showed decreased tolerance to DNA damage and impairment in DSB repair. Recombinant DR0090 protein showed phosphotransferase activity on its cognate response regulator, DRB0091. The drb0090 deletion mutant was checked for its role in regulation of gene expression in response to DNA damage in Deinococcus radiodurans R1. The gene expression profiling of this mutant was carried out by complete transcriptome analysis of these cells grown under normal as well as upon gamma-irradiated conditions and compared with wild type cells. DRB0090/DRB0091 mutant showed extreme sensitivity to gamma radiation and was used for Gene expression profiling using microarray and compared with wild type data. All the genes subjected to microarray analysis are as described in the genome sequence of bacterium available at ftp://ftp.ncbi.nih.gov/genomes/bacteria/Deinococcus_radiodurans. Oligonucleotides designed to represent the respective predicted ORFs of Deinococcus radiodurans ((NC_001263, NC_001264, NC_000958, NC_000959) are synthesized and purified by hydrophobic column on HPLC. The oligonucleotides are deposited on to poly-L-Lysine slide in triplicate. Microarrays were scanned using Gene Pix 4000B and hybridization signals were quantified using GenePix Pro 5.1. Prior to channel normalization, microarray outputs were filtered to remove spots of poor signal quality by excluding those data points with a mean intensity by less that 2 standard deviation above background in both channels. Normalization of data and its statistical analysis were carried out in the R computing environment using linear models for microarray data package (Limma). Using this tool, the global LOESS normalization was carried out for each microarray. The 3- replicate spots per gene in each array were used to maximize the robustness of differential expression measurements of each gene via the âlmFitâ function within Limma. Two biological replicates were analysed for global gene expression profile in drb0090 mutant against wild type cells.

Project description:Specific interactions between scaffold protein SH3 and multiple ankyrin repeat domains protein 3 (Shank3) and synapse-associated protein 90/postsynaptic density-95⁻associated protein (SAPAP) are essential for excitatory synapse development and plasticity. In a bunch of human neurological diseases, mutations on Shank3 or SAPAP are detected. To investigate the dynamical and thermodynamic properties of the specific binding between the N-terminal extended PDZ (Post-synaptic density-95/Discs large/Zonaoccludens-1) domain (N-PDZ) of Shank3 and the extended PDZ binding motif (E-PBM) of SAPAP, molecular dynamics simulation approaches were used to study the complex of N-PDZ with wild type and mutated E-PBM peptides. To compare with the experimental data, 974QTRL977 and 966IEIYI970 of E-PBM peptide were mutated to prolines to obtain the M4P and M5P system, respectively. Conformational analysis shows that the canonical PDZ domain is stable while the βN extension presents high flexibility in all systems, especially for M5P. The high flexibility of βN extension seems to set up a barrier for the non-specific binding in this area and provide the basis for specific molecular recognition between Shank3 and SAPAP. The wild type E-PBM tightly binds to N-PDZ during the simulation while loss of binding is observed in different segments of the mutated E-PBM peptides. Energy decomposition and hydrogen bonds analysis show that M4P mutations only disrupt the interactions with canonical PDZ domain, but the interactions with βN1' remain. In M5P system, although the interactions with βN1' are abolished, the binding between peptide and the canonical PDZ domain is not affected. The results indicate that the interactions in the two-binding site, the canonical PDZ domain and the βN1' extension, contribute to the binding between E-PBM and N-PDZ independently. The binding free energies calculated by MM/GBSA (Molecular Mechanics/Generalized Born Surface Area) are in agreement with the experimental binding affinities. Most of the residues on E-PBM contribute considerably favorable energies to the binding except A963 and D964 in the N-terminal. The study provides information to understand the molecular basis of specific binding between Shank3 and SAPAP, as well as clues for design of peptide inhibitors.
