Exploration of the binding modes of L-asparaginase complexed with its amino acid substrates by molecular docking, dynamics and simulation.

ABSTRACT: Acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL) is an outrageous disease worldwide. L-Asparagine (L-Asn) and L-glutamine (L-Gln) deamination plays crucial role in ALL treatment. Role of Erwinaze^® (L-asparaginase from Erwinia chrysanthemi) in regulation of L-Asn and L-Gln has been confirmed by the experimental studies. Therapeutic research against ALL remained elusive with the lack of structural information on Erwinaze^® enzyme. In this present study, homology model of the Erwinaze^® was developed using MODELLER and the same was validated by various quality indexing tools. For the apo state enzyme and ligand bound state complexes molecular dynamics (MD) simulation was performed. The trajectory analysis showed the confirmational changes of structures in the dynamic system. Ligand binding mechanisms were studied using different docking tools to interpret the various ligand-receptor interactions and binding free energies. MD simulation of docked complex with L-Gln ligand substrate showed the defined structural folding with stable conformation over the L-Asn complex in dynamic environment. This research reports give much more information on structural and functional aspects of Erwinaze^® with its ligands which may be useful in designing of effective therapeutics for ALL.

Project description:The urea transporter UT-B1, encoded by the SLC14A1 gene, has been hypothesized to be a significant protein whose deficiency and dysfunction contribute to the pathogenesis of bladder cancer and many other diseases. Several studies reported the association of genetic alterations in the SLC14A1 (UT-B1) gene with bladder carcinogenesis, suggesting a need for thorough characterization of the UT-B1 protein's coding and non-coding variants. This study used various computational techniques to investigate the commonly occurring germ-line missense and non-coding SNPs (ncSNPs) of the SLC14A1 gene (UT-B1) for their structural, functional, and molecular implications for disease susceptibility and dysfunctionality. SLC14A1 missense variants, primarily identified from the ENSEMBL genome browser, were screened through twelve functionality prediction tools leading to two variants D280Y (predicted detrimental by maximum tools) and D280N (high global MAF) for rs1058396. Subsequently, the ConSurf and NetSurf tools revealed the D280 residue to be in a variable site and exposed on the protein surface. According to I-Mutant2.0 and MUpro, both variants are predicted to cause a significant effect on protein stability. Analysis of molecular docking anticipated these two variants to decrease the binding affinity of UT-B1 protein for the examined ligands to a significant extent. Molecular dynamics also disclosed the possible destabilization of the UT-B1 protein due to single nucleotide polymorphism compared to wild-type protein which may result in impaired protein function. Furthermore, several non-coding SNPs were estimated to affect transcription factor binding and regulation of SLC14A1 gene expression. Additionally, two ncSNPs were found to affect miRNA-based post-transcriptional regulation by creating new seed regions for miRNA binding. This comprehensive in-silico study of SLC14A1 gene variants may serve as a springboard for future large-scale investigations examining SLC14A1 polymorphisms.
