Molecular docking analysis of amyloid precursor protein with compounds from the Australian cowplant.

ABSTRACT: Amyloid precursor protein is linked with Alzheimer's disease (AD). The Australian cowplant Gymnema sylvestre is known in Indian and Chinese medicine. Therefore, it is of interest to screen the Amyloid precursor protein with compounds from the Australian cowplant. We report five compounds (Gymnemasaponin 5, Gymnemasin D, Gymnemoside A, Gymnemoside E, Gymnemoside F) derived from the Australian cowplant as the poteinal inhibitors of Amyloid precursor protein with optimal binding features for further consideration.

Project description:The interaction between the stem-loop structure of the Alzheimer's amyloid precursor protein IRE mRNA and iron regulatory protein was examined by employing molecular docking and multi-spectroscopic techniques. A detailed molecular docking analysis of APP IRE mRNA∙IRP1 reveals that 11 residues are involved in hydrogen bonding as the main driving force for the interaction. Fluorescence binding results revealed a strong interaction between APP IRE mRNA and IRP1 with a binding affinity and an average binding sites of 31.3 × 106 M-1 and 1.0, respectively. Addition of Fe2+(anaerobic) showed a decreased (3.3-fold) binding affinity of APP mRNA∙IRP1. Further, thermodynamic parameters of APP mRNA∙IRP1 interactions were an enthalpy-driven and entropy-favored event, with a large negative ΔH (-25.7 ± 2.5 kJ/mol) and a positive ΔS (65.0 ± 3.7 J/mol·K). A negative ΔH value for the complex formation suggested the contribution of hydrogen bonds and van der Waals forces. The addition of iron increased the enthalpic contribution by 38% and decreased the entropic influence by 97%. Furthermore, the stopped-flow kinetics of APP IRE mRNA∙IRP1 also confirmed the complex formation, having the rate of association (kon) and the rate of dissociation (koff) as 341 μM-1 s-1, and 11 s-1, respectively. The addition of Fe2+ has decreased the rate of association (kon) by ~ three-fold, whereas the rate of dissociation (koff) has increased by ~ two-fold. The activation energy for APP mRNA∙IRP1 complex was 52.5 ± 2.1 kJ/mol. The addition of Fe2+ changed appreciably the activation energy for the binding of APP mRNA with IRP1. Moreover, circular dichroism spectroscopy has confirmed further the APP mRNA∙IRP1 complex formation and IRP1 secondary structure change with the addition of APP mRNA. In the interaction between APP mRNA and IRP1, iron promotes structural changes in the APP IRE mRNA∙IRP1 complexes by changing the number of hydrogen bonds and promoting a conformational change in the IRP1 structure when it is bound to the APP IRE mRNA. It further illustrates how IRE stem-loop structure influences selectively the thermodynamics and kinetics of these protein-RNA interactions.
