Modulation of Src Kinase Activity by Selective Substrate Recognition with Pseudopeptidic Cages.

ABSTRACT: The selective recognition of tyrosine residues in peptides is an appealing approach to inhibiting their tyrosine kinase (TK)-mediated phosphorylation. Herein, we describe pseudopeptidic cages that efficiently protect substrates from the action of the Src TK enzyme, precluding the corresponding Tyr phosphorylation. Fluorescence emission titrations show that the most efficient cage inhibitors strongly bind the peptide substrates with a very good correlation between the binding constant and the inhibitory potency. Structural insights and additional control experiments further support the proposed mechanism of selective supramolecular protection of the substrates. Moreover, the approach also works in a completely different kinase-substrate system. These results illustrate the potential of supramolecular complexes for the efficient and selective modulation of TK signaling.

Substrate binding to Src: A new perspective on tyrosine kinase substrate recognition from NMR and molecular dynamics.

Project description:Most signal transduction pathways in humans are regulated by protein kinases through phosphorylation of their protein substrates. Typical eukaryotic protein kinases are of two major types: those that phosphorylate-specific sequences containing tyrosine (~90 kinases) and those that phosphorylate either serine or threonine (~395 kinases). The highly conserved catalytic domain of protein kinases comprises a smaller N lobe and a larger C lobe separated by a cleft region lined by the activation loop. Prior studies find that protein tyrosine kinases recognize peptide substrates by binding the polypeptide chain along the C-lobe on one side of the activation loop, while serine/threonine kinases bind their substrates in the cleft and on the side of the activation loop opposite to that of the tyrosine kinases. Substrate binding structural studies have been limited to four families of the tyrosine kinase group, and did not include Src tyrosine kinases. We examined peptide-substrate binding to Src using paramagnetic-relaxation-enhancement NMR combined with molecular dynamics simulations. The results suggest Src tyrosine kinase can bind substrate positioning residues C-terminal to the phosphoacceptor residue in an orientation similar to serine/threonine kinases, and unlike other tyrosine kinases. Mutagenesis corroborates this new perspective on tyrosine kinase substrate recognition. Rather than an evolutionary split between tyrosine and serine/threonine kinases, a change in substrate recognition may have occurred within the TK group of the human kinome. Protein tyrosine kinases have long been therapeutic targets, but many marketed drugs have deleterious off-target effects. More accurate knowledge of substrate interactions of tyrosine kinases has the potential for improving drug selectivity.

A back-door insight into the modulation of Src kinase activity by the polyamine spermidine.

Project description:Src is a protein tyrosine kinase commonly activated downstream of transmembrane receptors and plays key roles in cell growth, migration, and survival signaling pathways. In conventional dendritic cells (cDCs), Src is involved in the activation of the non-enzymatic functions of indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase 1 (IDO1), an immunoregulatory molecule endowed with both catalytic activity and signal transducing properties. Prompted by the discovery that the metabolite spermidine confers a tolerogenic phenotype on cDCs that is dependent on both the expression of IDO1 and the activity of Src kinase, we here investigated the spermidine mode of action. We found that spermidine directly binds Src in a previously unknown allosteric site located on the backside of the SH2 domain and thus acts as a positive allosteric modulator of the enzyme. Besides confirming that Src phosphorylates IDO1, here we showed that spermidine promotes the protein-protein interaction of Src with IDO1. Overall, this study may pave the way toward the design of allosteric modulators able to switch on/off the Src-mediated pathways, including those involving the immunoregulatory protein IDO1.

Development of a highly selective c-Src kinase inhibitor.

Project description:Generating highly selective probes to interrogate protein kinase function in biological studies remains a challenge, and new strategies are required. Herein, we describe the development of the first highly selective and cell-permeable inhibitor of c-Src, a key signaling kinase in cancer. Our strategy involves extension of traditional inhibitor design by appending functionality proposed to interact with the phosphate-binding loop of c-Src. Using our selective inhibitor, we demonstrate that selective inhibition is significantly more efficacious than pan-kinase inhibition in slowing the growth of cancer cells. We also show that inhibition of c-Abl kinase, an off-target of most c-Src inhibitors, promotes oncogenic cell growth.

Auto-thiophosphorylation activity of Src tyrosine kinase.

Project description:BackgroundIntermolecular autophosphorylation at Tyr416 is a conserved mechanism of activation among the members of the Src family of nonreceptor tyrosine kinases. Like several other tyrosine kinases, Src can catalyze the thiophosphorylation of peptide and protein substrates using ATPγS as a thiophosphodonor, although the efficiency of the reaction is low.ResultsHere, we have characterized the ability of Src to auto-thiophosphorylate. Auto-thiophosphorylation of Src at Tyr416 in the activation loop proceeds efficiently in the presence of Ni(2+), resulting in kinase activation. Other tyrosine kinases (Ack1, Hck, and IGF1 receptor) also auto-thiophosphorylate in the presence of Ni(2+). Tyr416-thiophosphorylated Src is resistant to dephosphorylation by PTP1B phosphatase.ConclusionsSrc and other tyrosine kinases catalyze auto-thiophosphorylation in the presence of Ni(2+). Thiophosphorylation of Src occurs at Tyr416 in the activation loop, and results in enhanced kinase activity. Tyr416-thiophosphorylated Src could serve as a stable, persistently-activated mimic of Src.

Cancer-Associated Mutations in Breast Tumor Kinase/PTK6 Differentially Affect Enzyme Activity and Substrate Recognition.

Project description:Brk (breast tumor kinase, also known as PTK6) is a nonreceptor tyrosine kinase that is aberrantly expressed in several cancers and promotes cell proliferation and transformation. Genome sequencing studies have revealed a number of cancer-associated somatic mutations in the Brk gene; however, their effect on Brk activity has not been examined. We analyzed a panel of cancer-associated mutations and determined that several of the mutations activate Brk, while two eliminated enzymatic activity. Three of the mutations (L16F, R131L, and P450L) are located in important regulatory domains of Brk (the SH3, SH2 domains, and C-terminal tail, respectively). Biochemical data suggest that they activate Brk by disrupting intramolecular interactions that normally maintain Brk in an autoinhibited conformation. We also observed differential effects on recognition and phosphorylation of substrates, suggesting that the mutations can influence downstream Brk signaling by multiple mechanisms.

Molecular determinants of Hsp90 recognition of Src kinase revealed by deep mutational scanning

Project description:Protein tyrosine kinases are involved in regulating growth and proliferation in cells and are often hyperactive in cancerous tissue. Tyrosine kinase inhibitors have been used to limit hyperactivity but become ineffective due to the appearance of resistance mutations. A common trait of hyperactive protein kinases is its strict client relationship with molecular chaperone Hsp90. However, the mechanism behind Hsp90 client kinase recognition is poorly understood. Here we measure the functional effect of thousands of single amino acid variants in the Src kinase domain to identify positions invovled in Hsp90 client recognition.

Subunit-specific modulation of KCNQ potassium channels by Src tyrosine kinase.

Project description:We studied regulation by c-Src tyrosine kinase (Src) of KCNQ1-5 channels heterologously expressed in Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells and of native M current in rat sympathetic neurons. Using whole-cell patch clamp, we found that Src modulates currents from KCNQ3, KCNQ4, and KCNQ5 homomultimers, KCNQ2/3 heteromultimers and native M current, but not currents from KCNQ1 or KCNQ2 homomultimers. Src overexpression had two effects: a decrease of current amplitude (4- to 15-fold for cloned channels and approximately 3-fold for M current) and a slowing of activation kinetics by 2-fold. Both Src actions were mostly reversed by bath application of the Src inhibitors erbstatin (20 microm) and PP2 (200 nm), and mimicked by the tyrosine phosphatase inhibitor sodium vanadate (100 microm). Immunoprecipitation and immunoblot analysis showed Src-dependent phosphotyrosine signals associated with KCNQ3, KCNQ4, and KCNQ5 but not with KCNQ1 or KCNQ2 that may be tyrosine phosphorylation of the channel subunits. Expression of a dominant negative Src that cannot phosphorylate substrates had no effect on the current and did not induce phosphotyrosine signals associated with KCNQ3-5 subunits, further indicating that Src actions on KCNQ currents are mediated by tyrosine phosphorylation. Immunostaining and confocal analysis showed no effect of Src overexpression on the abundance of KCNQ3 protein in CHO cells. Finally, experiments using cloned KCNQ2/3 channels, Src and M(1) muscarinic receptors, and sympathetic neurons demonstrated that the actions on KCNQ channels by Src and by muscarinic agonists use distinct mechanisms.

Substrate activity screening with kinases: discovery of small-molecule substrate-competitive c-Src inhibitors.

Project description:Substrate-competitive kinase inhibitors represent a promising class of kinase inhibitors, however, there is no methodology to selectively identify this type of inhibitor. Substrate activity screening was applied to tyrosine kinases. By using this methodology, the first small-molecule substrates for any protein kinase were discovered, as well as the first substrate-competitive inhibitors of c-Src with activity in both biochemical and cellular assays. Characterization of the lead inhibitor demonstrates that substrate-competitive kinase inhibitors possess unique properties, including cellular efficacy that matches biochemical potency and synergy with ATP-competitive inhibitors.

Fluorescent Molecular Cages with Sucrose and Cyclotriveratrylene Units for the Selective Recognition of Choline and Acetylcholine.

Project description:The synthesis of four fluorescent diastereoisomeric molecular cages containing cyclotriveratrylene and sucrose moieties connected via the naphthalene linkers is reported. These diastereoisomers were found to be selective and efficient receptors for acetylcholine and choline. Compound P-5a has a better affinity for choline over acetylcholine, while cage M-5a exhibits a higher association constant for acetylcholine over choline. The highest selectivity value was observed for compound M-5a (KACh/KCh = 3.1). Cages P-5a, P-5b, M-5a, and M-5b were fully characterized by the advanced NMR techniques, and ECD spectroscopy was supported by DFT calculations. The binding constants Ka of these receptors were determined by fluorescence titration experiments in acetonitrile.

Force sensing by mechanical extension of the Src family kinase substrate p130Cas.

Project description:How physical force is sensed by cells and transduced into cellular signaling pathways is poorly understood. Previously, we showed that tyrosine phosphorylation of p130Cas (Cas) in a cytoskeletal complex is involved in force-dependent activation of the small GTPase Rap1. Here, we mechanically extended bacterially expressed Cas substrate domain protein (CasSD) in vitro and found a remarkable enhancement of phosphorylation by Src family kinases with no apparent change in kinase activity. Using an antibody that recognized extended CasSD in vitro, we observed Cas extension in intact cells in the peripheral regions of spreading cells, where higher traction forces are expected and where phosphorylated Cas was detected, suggesting that the in vitro extension and phosphorylation of CasSD are relevant to physiological force transduction. Thus, we propose that Cas acts as a primary force sensor, transducing force into mechanical extension and thereby priming phosphorylation and activation of downstream signaling.
