Insights on the structure-function relationship of human multidrug resistance protein 7 (MRP7/ABCC10) from molecular dynamics simulations and docking studies.

ABSTRACT: ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters superfamily mediates multidrug resistance in cancer by extruding structurally distinct chemotherapeutic agents, causing failure in chemotherapy. Among the 49 ABC transporters, multidrug resistance protein 7 (MRP7 or ABCC10) is relatively new and has been identified as the efflux pump of multiple anticancer agents including Vinca alkaloids and taxanes. Herein, we construct and validate a homology model for human MRP7 based on the cryo-EM structures of MRP1. Structure-function relationship of MRP7 was obtained from molecular dynamics simulations and docking studies and was in accordance with previous studies of ABC transporters. The motion patterns correlated with efflux mechanism were discussed. Additionally, predicted substrate- and modulator-binding sites of MRP7 were described for the first time, which provided rational insights in understanding the drug binding and functional regulation in MRP7. Our findings will benefit the high-throughput virtual screening and development of MRP7 modulators in the future.

Project description:Tyrosine threonine kinase (TTK) is the key component of the spindle assembly checkpoint (SAC) that ensures correct attachment of chromosomes to the mitotic spindle and thereby their precise segregation into daughter cells by phosphorylating specific substrate proteins. The overexpression of TTK has been associated with various human malignancies, including breast, colorectal and thyroid carcinomas. TTK has been validated as a target for drug development, and several TTK inhibitors have been discovered. In this study, ligand and structure-based alignment as well as various partial charge models were used to perform 3D-QSAR modelling on 1H-Pyrrolo[3,2-c] pyridine core containing reported inhibitors of TTK protein using the comparative molecular field analysis (CoMFA) and comparative molecular similarity indices analysis (CoMSIA) approaches to design better active compounds. Different statistical methods i.e., correlation coefficient of non-cross validation (r2), correlation coefficient of leave-one-out cross-validation (q2), Fisher's test (F) and bootstrapping were used to validate the developed models. Out of several charge models and alignment-based approaches, Merck Molecular Force Field (MMFF94) charges using structure-based alignment yielded highly predictive CoMFA (q2 = 0.583, Predr2 = 0.751) and CoMSIA (q2 = 0.690, Predr2 = 0.767) models. The models exhibited that electrostatic, steric, HBA, HBD, and hydrophobic fields play a key role in structure activity relationship of these compounds. Using the contour maps information of the best predictive model, new compounds were designed and docked at the TTK active site to predict their plausible binding modes. The structural stability of the TTK complexes with new compounds was confirmed using MD simulations. The simulation studies revealed that all compounds formed stable complexes. Similarly, MM/PBSA method based free energy calculations showed that these compounds bind with reasonably good affinity to the TTK protein. Overall molecular modelling results suggest that newly designed compounds can act as lead compounds for the optimization of TTK inhibitors.
