Regulated phosphorylation of a major UDP-glucuronosyltransferase isozyme by tyrosine kinases dictates endogenous substrate selection for detoxification.

ABSTRACT: Whereas UDP-glucuronosyltransferase-2B7 is widely distributed in different tissues, it preferentially detoxifies genotoxic 4-OH-estradiol and 4-OH-estrone (4-OHE(1)) with barely detectable 17?-estradiol (E(2)) conversion following expression in COS-1 cells. Consistent with the UDP-glucuronosyltransferase requirement for regulated phosphorylation, we discovered that 2B7 requires Src-dependent tyrosine phosphorylation. Y236F-2B7 and Y438F-2B7 mutants were null and 90% inactive, respectively, when expressed in COS-1. We demonstrated that 2B7 incorporated immunoprecipitable [(33)P]orthophosphate and that 2B7His, previously expressed in SYF-(Src,Yes,Fyn)(-/-) cells, was Src-supported or phosphorylated under in vitro conditions. Unexpectedly, 2B7 expressed in SYF(-/-) and SYF(+/-) cells metabolized 4-OHE(1) at 10- and 3-fold higher rates, respectively, than that expressed in COS-1, and similar analysis showed that E(2) metabolism was 16- and 9-fold higher than in COS-1. Because anti-Tyr(P)-438-2B7 detected Tyr(P)-438-2B7 in each cell line, results indicated that unidentified tyrosine kinase(s) (TKs) phosphorylated 2B7 in SYF(-/-). 2B7-transfected COS-1 treated with increasing concentrations of the Src-specific inhibitor PP2 down-regulated 4-OHE(1) glucuronidation reaching 60% maximum while simultaneously increasing E(2) metabolism linearly. This finding indicated that increasing PP2 inhibition of Src allows increasing E(2) metabolism caused by 2B7 phosphorylation by unidentified TK(s). Importantly, 2B7 expressed in SYF(-/-) is more competent at metabolizing E(2) in cellulo than 2B7 expressed in COS-1. To confirm Src-controlled 2B7 prevents toxicity, we showed that 2B7-transfected COS-1 efficiently protected against 4-OH-E(1)-mediated depurination. Finally, our results indicate that Src-dependent phosphorylation of 2B7 allows metabolism of 4-OHE(1), but not E(2), in COS-1, whereas non-Src-phosphorylated 2B7 metabolizes both chemicals. Importantly, we determined that 2B7 substrate selection is not fixed but varies depending upon the TK(s) that carry out its required phosphorylation.

Project description:BackgroundSinusoidal occlusion syndrome (SOS) is a potentially severe complication following hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) in pediatric patients. Treatment related risk factors such as intensity of conditioning, hepatotoxic co-medication and patient related factors such as genetic variants predispose individuals to develop SOS. The variant allele for SNP rs17146905 in UDP-glucuronosyl transferase 2B10 (UGT2B10) gene was correlated with the occurrence of SOS in an exome-wide association study. UGT2B10 is a phase II drug metabolizing enzyme involved in the N-glucuronidation of tertiary amine containing drugs.MethodsTo shed light on the functionality of UGT2B10 enzyme in the metabolism of drugs used in pediatric HSCT setting, we performed in silico screening against custom based library of putative ligands. First, a list of potential substrates for in silico analysis was prepared using a systematic consensus-based strategy. The list comprised of drugs and their metabolites used in pediatric HSCT setting. The three-dimensional structure of UGT2B10 was not available from the Research Collaboratory Structural Bioinformatics - Protein Data Bank (RCSB - PDB) repository and thus we predicted the first human UGT2B10 3D model by using multiple template homology modeling with MODELLER Version 9.2 and molecular docking calculations with AutoDock Vina Version 1.2 were implemented to quantify the estimated binding affinity between selected putative substrates or ligands and UGT2B10. Finally, we performed molecular dynamics simulations using GROMACS Version 5.1.4 to confirm the potential UGT2B10 ligands prioritized after molecular docking (exhibiting negative free binding energy).ResultsFour potential ligands for UGT2B10 namely acetaminophen, lorazepam, mycophenolic acid and voriconazole n-oxide intermediate were identified. Other metabolites of voriconazole satisfied the criteria of being possible ligands of UGT2B10. Except for bilirubin and 4-Hydroxy Voriconazole, all the ligands (particularly voriconazole and hydroxy voriconazole) are oriented in substrate binding site close to the co-factor UDP (mean ± SD; 0.72 ± 0.33 nm). Further in vitro screening of the putative ligands prioritized by in silico pipeline is warranted to understand the nature of the ligands either as inhibitors or substrates of UGT2B10.ConclusionsThese results may indicate the clinical and pharmacological relevance UGT2B10 in pediatric HSCT setting. With this systematic computational methodology, we provide a rational-, time-, and cost-effective way to identify and prioritize the interesting putative substrates or inhibitors of UGT2B10 for further testing in in vitro experiments.
