PES inhibits human-inducible Hsp70 by covalent targeting of cysteine residues in the substrate-binding domain.

ABSTRACT: Hsp70 proteins are a family of ancient and conserved chaperones. They play important roles in vital cellular processes, such as protein quality control and the stress response. Hsp70 proteins are a potential drug target for treatment of disease, particularly cancer. PES (2-phenylethynesulfonamide or pifithrin-μ) has been reported to be an inhibitor of Hsp70. However, the mechanism of PES inhibition is still unclear. In this study we found that PES can undergo a Michael addition reaction with Cys-574 and Cys-603 in the SBDα of human HspA1A (hHsp70), resulting in covalent attachment of a PES molecule to each Cys residue. We previously showed that glutathionylation of Cys-574 and Cys-603 affects the structure and function of hHsp70. In this study, PES modification showed similar structural and functional effects on hHsp70 to glutathionylation. Further, we found that susceptibility to PES modification is influenced by changes in the conformational dynamics of the SBDα, such as are induced by interaction with adjacent domains, allosteric changes, and mutations. This study provides new avenues for development of covalent inhibitors of hHsp70.

Covalent targeting of remote cysteine residues to develop CDK12 and CDK13 inhibitors [Affymetrix]

Project description:Cyclin-dependent kinases 12 and 13 (CDK12 and CDK13) play critical roles in the regulation of gene transcription. However, the absence of CDK12 and CDK13 inhibitors has hindered the ability to investigate the consequences of their inhibition in healthy cells and cancer cells. Here we describe the rational design of a first-in-class CDK12 and CDK13 covalent inhibitor, THZ531. Co-crystallization of THZ531 with CDK12–cyclin K indicates that THZ531 irreversibly targets a cysteine located outside the kinase domain. THZ531 causes a loss of gene expression with concurrent loss of elongating and hyperphosphorylated RNA polymerase II. In particular, THZ531 substantially decreases the expression of DNA damage response genes and key super-enhancer-associated transcription factor genes. Coincident with transcriptional perturbation, THZ531 dramatically induced apoptotic cell death. Small molecules capable of specifically targeting CDK12 and CDK13 may thus help identify cancer subtypes that are particularly dependent on their kinase activities.

Substrate-binding domain conformational dynamics mediate Hsp70 allostery.

Project description:Binding of ATP to the N-terminal nucleotide-binding domain (NBD) of heat shock protein 70 (Hsp70) molecular chaperones reduces the affinity of their C-terminal substrate-binding domain (SBD) for unfolded protein substrates. ATP binding to the NBD leads to docking between NBD and ?SBD and releasing of the ?-helical lid that covers the substrate-binding cleft in the SBD. However, these structural changes alone do not fully account for the allosteric mechanism of modulation of substrate affinity and binding kinetics. Through a multipronged study of the Escherichia coli Hsp70 DnaK, we found that changes in conformational dynamics within the ?SBD play a central role in interdomain allosteric communication in the Hsp70 DnaK. ATP-mediated NBD conformational changes favor formation of NBD contacts with lynchpin sites on the ?SBD and force disengagement of SBD strand ?8 from strand ?7, which leads to repacking of a ?SBD hydrophobic cluster and disruption of the hydrophobic arch over the substrate-binding cleft. In turn, these structural rearrangements drastically enhance conformational dynamics throughout the entire ?SBD and particularly around the substrate-binding site. This negative, entropically driven allostery between two functional sites of the ?SBD-the NBD binding interface and the substrate-binding site-confers upon the SBD the plasticity needed to bind to a wide range of chaperone clients without compromising precise control of thermodynamics and kinetics of chaperone-client interactions.

Covalent Inhibitors of Protein-Protein Interactions Targeting Lysine, Tyrosine, or Histidine Residues.

Project description:We have recently reported a series of Lys-covalent agents targeting the BIR3 domain of the X-linked inhibitor of apoptosis protein (XIAP) using a benzamide-sulfonyl fluoride warhead. Using XIAP as a model system, we further investigated a variety of additional warheads that can be easily incorporated into binding peptides and analyzed their ability to form covalent adducts with lysine and other amino acids, including tyrosine, histidine, serine, and threonine, using biochemical and biophysical assays. Moreover, we tested aqueous, plasma stability, cell permeability, and cellular efficacy of the most effective agents. These studies identified aryl-fluoro sulfates as likely the most suitable electrophiles to effectively form covalent adducts with Lys, Tyr, and His residues, given that these agents were cell permeable and stable in aqueous buffer and in plasma. Our studies contain a number of general findings that open new possible avenues for the design of potent covalent protein-protein interaction antagonists.

NeissLock provides an inducible protein anhydride for covalent targeting of endogenous proteins.

Project description:The Neisseria meningitidis protein FrpC contains a self-processing module (SPM) undergoing autoproteolysis via an aspartic anhydride. Herein, we establish NeissLock, using a binding protein genetically fused to SPM. Upon calcium triggering of SPM, the anhydride at the C-terminus of the binding protein allows nucleophilic attack by its target protein, ligating the complex. We establish a computational tool to search the Protein Data Bank, assessing proximity of amines to C-termini. We optimize NeissLock using the Ornithine Decarboxylase/Antizyme complex. Various sites on the target (?-amine or ?-amines) react with the anhydride, but reaction is blocked if the partner does not dock. Ligation is efficient at pH 7.0, with half-time less than 2?min. We arm Transforming Growth Factor-? with SPM, enabling specific covalent coupling to Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor at the cell-surface. NeissLock harnesses distinctive protein chemistry for high-yield covalent targeting of endogenous proteins, advancing the possibilities for molecular engineering.
