Discovery of Potential Orthosteric and Allosteric Antagonists of P2Y1R from Chinese Herbs by Molecular Simulation Methods.

ABSTRACT: P2Y1 receptor (P2Y1R), which belongs to G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs), is an important target in ADP-induced platelet aggregation. The crystal structure of P2Y1R has been solved recently, which revealed orthosteric and allosteric ligand-binding sites with the details of ligand-protein binding modes. And it suggests that P2Y1R antagonists, which recognize two distinct sites, could potentially provide an efficacious and safe antithrombotic profile. In present paper, 2D similarity search, pharmacophore based screening, and molecular docking were used to explore the potential natural P2Y1R antagonists. 2D similarity search was used to classify orthosteric and allosteric antagonists of P2Y1R. Based on the result, pharmacophore models were constructed and validated by the test set. Optimal models were selected to discover potential P2Y1R antagonists of orthosteric and allosteric sites from Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). And the hits were filtered by Lipinski's rule. Then molecular docking was used to refine the results of pharmacophore based screening and analyze the binding mode of the hits and P2Y1R. Finally, two orthosteric and one allosteric potential compounds were obtained, which might be used in future P2Y1R antagonists design. This work provides a reliable guide for discovering natural P2Y1R antagonists acting on two distinct sites from TCM.

Project description:The urokinase receptor (uPAR) is a GPI-anchored cell surface receptor that is at the center of an intricate network of protein-protein interactions. Its immediate binding partners are the serine proteinase urokinase (uPA), and vitronectin (VTN), a component of the extracellular matrix. uPA and VTN bind at distinct sites on uPAR to promote extracellular matrix degradation and integrin signaling, respectively. Here, we report the discovery of a new class of pyrrolone small-molecule inhibitors of the tight ∼1 nM uPAR·uPA protein-protein interaction. These compounds were designed to bind to the uPA pocket on uPAR. The highest affinity compound, namely 7, displaced a fluorescently labeled α-helical peptide (AE147-FAM) with an inhibition constant Ki of 0.7 μM and inhibited the tight uPAR·uPAATF interaction with an IC50 of 18 μM. Biophysical studies with surface plasmon resonance showed that VTN binding is highly dependent on uPA. This cooperative binding was confirmed as 7, which binds at the uPAR·uPA interface, also inhibited the distal VTN·uPAR interaction. In cell culture, 7 blocked the uPAR·uPA interaction in uPAR-expressing human embryonic kidney (HEK-293) cells and impaired cell adhesion to VTN, a process that is mediated by integrins. As a result, 7 inhibited integrin signaling in MDA-MB-231 cancer cells as evidenced by a decrease in focal adhesion kinase (FAK) phosphorylation and Rac1 GTPase activation. Consistent with these results, 7 blocked breast MDA-MB-231 cancer cell invasion with IC50 values similar to those observed in ELISA and surface plasmon resonance competition studies. Explicit-solvent molecular dynamics simulations show that the cooperativity between uPA and VTN is attributed to stabilization of uPAR motion by uPA. In addition, free energy calculations revealed that uPA stabilizes the VTNSMB·uPAR interaction through more favorable electrostatics and entropy. Disruption of the uPAR·VTNSMB interaction by 7 is consistent with the cooperative binding to uPAR by uPA and VTN. Interestingly, the VTNSMB·uPAR interaction was less favorable in the VTNSMB·uPAR·7 complex suggesting potential cooperativity between 7 and VTN. Compound 7 provides an excellent starting point for the development of more potent derivatives to explore uPAR biology.

Project description:Allosteric modulators (AMs) are considered as a perpetual hotspot in research for their higher selectivity and various effects on orthosteric ligands (OL). They are classified in terms of their functionalities as positive, negative, or silent allosteric modulators (PAM, NAM, or SAM, respectively). In the present work, 11 pairs of three-dimensional (3D) structures of receptor-orthosteric ligand and receptor-orthosteric ligand-allosteric modulator complexes have been collected for the studies, including three different systems: GPCR, enzyme, and ion channel. Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations are applied to quantify the dynamic interactions in both the orthosteric and allosteric binding pockets and the structural fluctuation of the involved proteins. Our results showed that MD simulations of moderately large molecules or peptides undergo insignificant changes compared to crystal structure results. Furthermore, we also studied the conformational changes of receptors that bound with PAM and NAM, as well as the different allosteric binding sites in a receptor. There should be no preference for the position of the allosteric binding pocket after comparing the allosteric binding pockets of these three systems. Finally, we aligned four distinct β2 adrenoceptor structures and three N-methyl-d-aspartate receptor (NMDAR) structures to investigate conformational changes. In the β2 adrenoceptor systems, the aligned results revealed that transmembrane (TM) helices 1, 5, and 6 gradually increased outward movement from an enhanced inactive state to an improved active state. TM6 endured the most significant conformational changes (around 11 Å). For NMDAR, the bottom section of NMDAR's ligand-binding domain (LBD) experienced an upward and outward shift during the gradually activating process. In conclusion, our research provides insight into receptor-orthosteric ligand-allosteric modulator studies and the design and development of allosteric modulator drugs using MD simulation.
