Crystal Structure of the FGFR4/LY2874455 Complex Reveals Insights into the Pan-FGFR Selectivity of LY2874455.

ABSTRACT: Aberrant FGFR4 signaling has been documented abundantly in various human cancers. The majority of FGFR inhibitors display significantly reduced potency toward FGFR4 compared to FGFR1-3. However, LY2874455 has similar inhibition potency for FGFR1-4 with IC50 less than 6.4 nM. To date, there is no published crystal structure of LY2874455 in complex with any kinase. To better understand the pan-FGFR selectivity of LY2874455, we have determined the crystal structure of the FGFR4 kinase domain bound to LY2874455 at a resolution of 2.35 Å. LY2874455, a type I inhibitor for FGFR4, binds to the ATP-binding pocket of FGFR4 in a DFG-in active conformation with three hydrogen bonds and a number of van der Waals contacts. After alignment of the kinase domain sequence of 4 FGFRs, and superposition of the ATP binding pocket of 4 FGFRs, our structural analyses reveal that the interactions of LY2874455 to FGFR4 are largely conserved in 4 FGFRs, explaining at least partly, the broad inhibitory activity of LY2874455 toward 4 FGFRs. Consequently, our studies reveal new insights into the pan-FGFR selectivity of LY2874455 and provide a structural basis for developing novel FGFR inhibitors that target FGFR1-4 broadly.

Project description:The filoviruses are etiological agents of life-threatening hemorrhagic fever with high mortality rate and risk of potential outbreak. Among members of this family, the Ebola (EBOV), Sudan (SUDV), and Marburg (MARV) viruses are considered the most pathogenic for humans. The ebolavirus nucleoprotein (NP) is the most abundant protein in infected cells and is essential for viral transcription and replication; thus, it represents an attractive target for therapeutic intervention. Here, we present the structure of SUDV NP in complex with the amino-terminal portion of the phosphoprotein VP35 at 2.3 Å. This structure captures VP35 chaperoning SUDV NP in a monomeric and RNA-free state. This transient state has been proposed to be key to maintaining a pool of monomeric and RNA-free NPs prior to NP-NP polymerization and encapsidation of the viral RNA genome. This structure also reveals a newly visualized interaction between NP and VP35, a well-defined beta sheet that is not present in previous structures. Affinity binding assays demonstrate that this beta sheet is essential for maintaining the high-affinity interaction between VP35 and a hydrophobic pocket on SUDV NP, and electron microscopy indicates the importance of this binding interaction to the oligomeric state and assembly of NP in human cells. Complementary structure-directed mutagenesis identifies critical residues conserved across the filovirus family that could be targeted by broadly effective antivirals.IMPORTANCE Outbreaks of the filoviruses can be unpredictable in timing, location, and identity of the causative virus, with each of Ebola virus, Sudan virus, Bundibugyo virus, and Marburg virus reemerging in the last several years to cause human disease with 30 to 90% lethality. The 2014-2016 outbreak in particular, with nearly 30,000 patients, highlighted the ability of these viruses to emerge unexpectedly and spread rapidly. Two ebolavirus outbreaks have emerged this year, yet we still lack FDA-approved drugs with pan-filovirus activity to treat existing and emergent ebolaviruses. For all filoviruses, the interaction between the nucleoprotein and the phosphoprotein is essential for the virus life cycle and is a potential target for therapeutic intervention. In this report, we describe the crystal structure of the SUDV nucleoprotein with the interacting domain of the viral phosphoprotein, and we identify residues critical for high-affinity interaction and for control of the oligomeric state of the nucleoprotein. Structural comparison of this heterodimer with other members of the filovirus family allowed us to find conserved and essential atomic features that will facilitate understanding of the virus life cycle and the rational design of antivirals.
