Selectivity via Cooperativity: Preferential Stabilization of the p65/14-3-3 Interaction with Semisynthetic Natural Products.

ABSTRACT: Natural compounds are an important class of potent drug molecules including some retrospectively found to act as stabilizers of protein-protein interactions (PPIs). However, the design of synthetic PPI stabilizers remains an understudied approach. To date, there are limited examples where cooperativity has been utilized to guide the optimization of a PPI stabilizer. The 14-3-3 scaffold proteins provide an excellent platform to explore PPI stabilization because these proteins mediate several hundred PPIs, and a class of natural compounds, the fusicoccanes, are known to stabilize a subset of 14-3-3 protein interactions. 14-3-3 has been reported to negatively regulate the p65 subunit of the NF-κB transcription factor, which qualifies this protein complex as a potential target for drug discovery to control cell proliferation. Here, we report the high-resolution crystal structures of two 14-3-3 binding motifs of p65 in complex with 14-3-3. A semisynthetic natural product derivative, DP-005, binds to an interface pocket of the p65/14-3-3 complex and concomitantly stabilizes it. Cooperativity analyses of this interaction, and other disease relevant 14-3-3-PPIs, demonstrated selectivity of DP-005 for the p65/14-3-3 complex. The adaptation of a cooperative binding model provided a general approach to characterize stabilization and to assay for selectivity of PPI stabilizers.

Forgotten Natural Products: Semisynthetic Development of Blasticidin S As an Antibiotic Lead.

Project description:Forgotten natural products offer value as antimicrobial scaffolds, providing diverse mechanisms of action that complement existing antibiotic classes. This study focuses on the derivatization of the cytotoxin blasticidin S, seeking to leverage its unique ribosome inhibition mechanism. Despite its complex zwitterionic properties, a selective protection and amidation strategy enabled the creation of a library of blasticidin S derivatives including the natural product P10. The amides exhibited significantly increased activity against Gram-positive bacteria and enhanced specificity for pathogenic bacteria over human cells. Molecular docking and computational property analysis suggested variable binding poses and indicated a potential correlation between cLogP values and activity. This work demonstrates how densely functionalized forgotten antimicrobials can be straightforwardly modified, enabling the further development of blasticidin S derivatives as lead compounds for a novel class of antibiotics.

Substrate selectivity for semisynthetic CK2 proteins with Pin1

Substrate selectivity for semisynthetic CK2 proteins with Pin1

Project description:Protein Ser/Thr kinase CK2 is involved in a myriad of cellular processes including cell growth and proliferation by phosphorylating hundreds of substrates, yet the regulation process of CK2 function is poorly understood. The CK2 catalytic subunit, CK2α, is phosphorylated at Thr344 and phosphorylation on the C-terminal tail of CK2α is required for interaction with Pin1 protein. The substrate selectivity for protein kinase CK2α was examined by performing kinase assays on protein microarrays spotted with 17,000 human proteins. Semisynthetic CK2α proteins were prepared to contain an unmodified C-terminal tail or phospho-Thr (pThr) at T344. These semisynthetic proteins were used to determine if the phosphorylation-dependent interaction of CK2α with Pin1 can modulate the substrate selectivity for CK2. The different semisynthetic CK2α proteins (unmodified and pThr344) were tested alone and in the presence of the recombinant Pin1 protein. Pin1 has been shown to interaction with CK2α only when CK2α is phoshorylated on its C-terminal site (including Thr344). In the study presented here, kinase assays were performed using two different semisynthetic CK2α proteins: unmodified C-terminal tail and phospho-Thr (pThr) at 344. The semisynthetic proteins were each tested alone and in the presence of the recombinant Pin1 protein. There were four different kinase conditions and each condition was performed in duplicate.

Substrate selectivity of semisynthetic Akt with pSer473 or O-GlcNAcSer473

Project description:Akt is a Ser/Thr protein kinase that regulates cell growth, metabolism and is considered a therapeutic target for cancer. Regulation of Akt by membrane recruitment and post-translational modifications (PTMs) has been extensively studied. The most well-established mechanism for cellular Akt activation involves phosphorylation on its activation loop on Thr308 by PDK1 and on its C-terminal tail on Ser473 by mTORC2. Other C-terminal tail PTMs have been identified, but their functional impacts have not been well-characterized. We use expressed protein ligation (EPL) as a tool to produce semisynthetic Akt proteins to dissect the enzymatic functions of these PTMs. We performed kinase assays employing human protein microarrays to investigate global substrate specificity of Akt, comparing phosphorylated vs. O-GlcNAcylated Ser473 forms.

Substrate selectivity for semisynthetic CK2 proteins with various posttranslational modifications

Project description:Protein Ser/Thr kinase CK2 is involved in a myriad of cellular processes including cell growth and proliferation by phosphorylating hundreds of substrates, yet the regulation process of CK2 function is poorly understood. The CK2 catalytic subunit, CK2α, is modified by O-GlcNAc on Ser347 proximal to a Cdk1 phosphorylation site at Thr344 on the same protein. The substrate selectivity for protein kinase CK2 was examined by performing kinase assays on protein microarrays spotted with 17,000 human proteins. Semisynthetic CK2α proteins were prepared to contain an unmodified C-terminal tail, S-GlcNAc-Serine at S347, or Pfa (non-hyrdolyzeable phosphomimic) at T344. These semisynthetic proteins were used to determine if the posttranslational modifications on CK2 alpha modulate the substrate selectivity for this pleiotropic kinase. The different semisynthetic CK2α proteins were tested alone and in the presence of the regulatory subunit CK2β since it is known that the CK2α subunit is active both in its isolated state and in the heterotetrameric state formed in the presence of the regulatory beta subunit. The CK2β subunit has been shown to modulate CK2 activity with some substrates and not others.

A photoactive semisynthetic metalloenzyme exhibits complete selectivity for CO2 reduction in water.

Project description:A series of artificial metalloenzymes containing a ruthenium chromophore and [NiII(cyclam)]2+, both incorporated site-selectively, have been constructed within an azurin protein scaffold. These light-driven, semisynthetic enzymes do not evolve hydrogen, thus displaying complete selectivity for CO2 reduction to CO. Electrostatic effects rather than direct excited-state electron transfer dominate the ruthenium photophysics, suggesting that intramolecular electron transfer from photogenerated RuI to [NiII(cyclam)]2+ represents the first step in catalysis. Stern-Volmer analyses rationalize the observation that ascorbate is the only sacrificial electron donor that supports turnover. Collectively, these results highlight the important interplay of elements that must be considered when developing and characterizing molecular catalysts.

A microbial biomanufacturing platform for natural and semisynthetic opioids.

Project description:Opiates and related molecules are medically essential, but their production via field cultivation of opium poppy Papaver somniferum leads to supply inefficiencies and insecurity. As an alternative production strategy, we developed baker's yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae as a microbial host for the transformation of opiates. Yeast strains engineered to express heterologous genes from P. somniferum and bacterium Pseudomonas putida M10 convert thebaine to codeine, morphine, hydromorphone, hydrocodone and oxycodone. We discovered a new biosynthetic branch to neopine and neomorphine, which diverted pathway flux from morphine and other target products. We optimized strain titer and specificity by titrating gene copy number, enhancing cosubstrate supply, applying a spatial engineering strategy and performing high-density fermentation, which resulted in total opioid titers up to 131 mg/l. This work is an important step toward total biosynthesis of valuable benzylisoquinoline alkaloid drug molecules and demonstrates the potential for developing a sustainable and secure yeast biomanufacturing platform for opioids.
