Interaction of Coumarin Phytoestrogens with ER? and ER?: A Molecular Dynamics Simulation Study.

ABSTRACT: Coumarin phytoestrogens, as one of the important classes of phytoestrogens, have been proved to play an important role in various fields of human life. In this study, molecular simulation method including molecular docking and molecular dynamics methods were performed to explore the various effects between four classical coumarin phytoestrogens (coumestrol, 4-methoxycoumestrol, psoralen and isopsoralen), and estrogen receptors (ER?, ER?), respectively. The calculated results not only proved that the four coumarin phytoestrogens have weaker affinity than 17?-estradiol to both ER?, and ER?, but also pointed out that the selective affinity for ER? is greater than ER?. In addition, the binding mode indicated that the formation of hydrogen bond and hydrophobic interaction have an important effect on the stability of the complexes. Further, the calculation and decomposition of binding free energy explored the main contribution interactions to the total free energy.

Project description:Transient receptor potential vanilloid subtype 1 (TRPV1) is a heat-sensitive ion channel also involved in pain sensation, and is the receptor for capsaicin, the active ingredient of hot chili peppers. The recent structures of TRPV1 revealed putative ligand density within the S1 to S4 voltage-sensor-like domain of the protein. However, questions remain regarding the dynamic role of the lipid bilayer in ligand binding to TRPV1. Molecular dynamics simulations were used to explore behavior of capsaicin in a 1-palmitoyl-2-oleoyl phosphatidylcholine bilayer and with the target S1-S4 transmembrane helices of TRPV1. Equilibrium simulations reveal a preferred interfacial localization for capsaicin. We also observed a capsaicin molecule flipping from the extracellular to the intracellular leaflet, and subsequently able to access the intracellular TRPV1 binding site. Calculation of the potential of mean force (i.e., free energy profile) of capsaicin along the bilayer normal confirms that it prefers an interfacial localization. The free energy profile indicates that there is a nontrivial but surmountable barrier to the flipping of capsaicin between opposing leaflets of the bilayer. Molecular dynamics of the S1-S4 transmembrane helices of the TRPV1 in a lipid bilayer confirm that Y511, known to be crucial to capsaicin binding, has a distribution along the bilayer normal similar to that of the aromatic group of capsaicin. Simulations were conducted of the TRPV1 S1-S4 transmembrane helices in the presence of capsaicin placed in the aqueous phase, in the lipid, or docked to the protein. No stable interaction between ligand and protein was seen for simulations initiated with capsaicin in the bilayer. However, interactions were seen between TRPV1 and capsaicin starting from the cytosolic aqueous phase, and capsaicin remained stable in the majority of simulations from the docked pose. We discuss the significance of capsaicin flipping from the extracellular to the intracellular leaflet and mechanisms of binding site access by capsaicin.
