Nucleotide-binding properties of kinase-deficient epidermal-growth-factor-receptor mutants.

ABSTRACT: The nucleotide-binding properties of wild-type epidermal- growth-factor (EGF)-receptor protein tyrosine kinase (PTK) and EGF-receptor mutants with site-specific amino acid substitutions known to attenuate protein kinase activity were analysed by a fluorescence competition assay employing the nucleotide analogue 2'(3')-O-(2,4,6-trinitrophenyl)adenosine 5'-triphosphate. Binding affinities for ATP and Mn.ATP complex were determined for the PTK domains of the wild-type and two mutant proteins. Surprisingly, mutation of the highly conserved Lys-721 residue in the nucleotide-binding site of the EGF- receptor PTK domain did not abolish ATP and Mn.ATP binding, although the binding affinity for the Mn.ATP complex was significantly reduced. A second kinase-inactivating mutation that targeted the highly conserved Asp-813 residue had little effect on the nucleotide-binding properties of the EGF-receptor PTK domain. These results indicated that the principle effect of these two kinase-inactivating amino acid substitutions is not to block nucleotide binding, but is instead an inhibition of the phospho-transfer reaction.

Structural Insights into Characterizing Binding Sites in Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor Kinase Mutants.

Project description:Over the last two decades epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) kinase has become an important target to treat nonsmall cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Currently, three generations of EGFR kinase-targeted small molecule drugs have been FDA approved. They nominally produce a response at the start of treatment and lead to a substantial survival benefit for patients. However, long-term treatment results in acquired drug resistance and further vulnerability to NSCLC. Therefore, novel EGFR kinase inhibitors that specially overcome acquired mutations are urgently needed. To this end, we carried out a comprehensive study of different EGFR kinase mutants using a structural systems pharmacology strategy. Our analysis shows that both wild-type and mutated structures exhibit multiple conformational states that have not been observed in solved crystal structures. We show that this conformational flexibility accommodates diverse types of ligands with multiple types of binding modes. These results provide insights for designing a new generation of EGFR kinase inhibitor that combats acquired drug-resistant mutations through a multiconformation-based drug design strategy.

Engineered epidermal growth factor mutants with faster binding on-rates correlate with enhanced receptor activation.

Project description:Receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs) regulate critical cell signaling pathways, yet the properties of their cognate ligands that influence receptor activation are not fully understood. There is great interest in parsing these complex ligand-receptor relationships using engineered proteins with altered binding properties. Here we focus on the interaction between two engineered epidermal growth factor (EGF) mutants and the EGF receptor (EGFR), a model member of the RTK superfamily. We found that EGF mutants with faster kinetic on-rates stimulate increased EGFR activation compared to wild-type EGF. These findings support previous predictions that faster association rates correlate with enhanced receptor activity.

Molecular Dynamics Analysis of Binding Sites of Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor Kinase Inhibitors.

Project description:The development of an epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) is an ongoing and challenging research field. However, the dynamic motion of the binding site of EGFR has not been accurately depicted, hindering the improvement of EGFR TKI. For this reason, about 33 protein complexes (32 EGFR proteins plus 1 ErbB4 protein) were carefully curated and subsequently studied for dynamic movements of their binding sites by molecular dynamics simulations in this study. The analysis of root mean square deviation (RMSD) revealed that T790M mutation can make an impact on dynamic motion of binding sites; the RMSD value of the EGFR binding site was unrelated to inhibitory activity. The analysis of the radius of gyration (R g) revealed that T790M can slightly shrink the value of R g, thereby influencing the shape of the EGFR binding site. More interestingly, the R g value can exhibit weak correlation with inhibitory activity of most inhibitors. The relationship between R g and biological activity deserve our serious interest since the best scoring function, Xscore, cannot distinguish highly active EGFR inhibitors. The root mean square fluctuation (RMSF) analysis of key residues derived from binding sites indicated that the most flexible residue was ASP800 with a large RMSF value against the steady residue ALA743 with a small RMSF value, and two other residues (MET793 and LEU844) were supposed to be involved with molecular recognition. In short, the obtained results would be more effective for guiding the development of a novel EGFR kinase inhibitor.

Sensitivities to various epidermal growth factor receptor-tyrosine kinase inhibitors of uncommon epidermal growth factor receptor mutations L861Q and S768I: What is the optimal epidermal growth factor receptor-tyrosine kinase inhibitor?

Project description:Most patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) harboring common epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutations, such as deletions in exon 19 or the L858R mutation in exon 21, respond dramatically to EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors (EGFR-TKI), and their sensitivities to various EGFR-TKI have been well characterized. Our previous article showed the in vitro sensitivities of EGFR exon 18 mutations to EGFR-TKI, but little information regarding the sensitivities of other uncommon EGFR mutations is available. First, stable transfectant Ba/F3 cell lines harboring EGFR L858R (Ba/F3-L858R), L861Q (Ba/F3-L861Q) or S768I (Ba/F3-S768I) mutations were created and their drug sensitivities to various EGFR-TKI were examined. Both the Ba/F3-L861Q and Ba/F3-S768I cell lines were less sensitive to erlotinib, compared with the Ba/F3-L858R cell line, but their sensitivities to afatinib were similar to that of the Ba/F3-L858R cell line. The Ba/F3-L861Q cell line was similarly sensitive and the Ba/F3-S768I cell line was less sensitive to osimertinib, compared with the Ba/F3-L858R cell line. The results of western blot analyses were consistent with these sensitivities. Next, similar experiments were also performed using the KYSE270 (L861Q) and KYSE 450 (S768I) cell lines, and their results were compatible with those of the transfectant Ba/F3 cell lines. Our findings suggest that NSCLC harboring the EGFR L861Q mutation might be sensitive to afatinib or osimertinib and that NSCLC harboring the EGFR S768I mutation might be sensitive to afatinib. Overall, afatinib might be the optimal EGFR-TKI against these uncommon EGFR mutations.

Epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor-resistant disease.

Project description:PURPOSE:EGFR-mutant lung cancer was first described as a new clinical entity in 2004. Here, we present an update on new controversies and conclusions regarding the disease. METHODS:This article reviews the clinical implications of EGFR mutations in lung cancer with a focus on epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor resistance. RESULTS:The discovery of EGFR mutations has altered the ways in which we consider and treat non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Patients whose metastatic tumors harbor EGFR mutations are expected to live longer than 2 years, more than double the previous survival rates for lung cancer. CONCLUSION:The information presented in this review can guide practitioners and help them inform their patients about EGFR mutations and their impact on the treatment of NSCLC. Efforts should now concentrate on making EGFR-mutant lung cancer a chronic rather than fatal disease.

Detection of epidermal growth factor receptor T790M mutation in plasma DNA from patients refractory to epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor.

Project description:A secondary epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutation, the substitution of threonine 790 with methionine (T790M), leads to acquired resistance to reversible EGFR-tyrosine kinase inhibitors (EGFR-TKIs). A non-invasive method for detecting T790M mutation would be desirable to direct patient treatment strategy. Plasma DNA samples were obtained after discontinuation of gefitinib or erlotinib in 75 patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). T790M mutation was amplified using the SABER (single allele base extension reaction) technique and analyzed using the Sequenom MassARRAY platform. We examined the T790M mutation status in plasma samples obtained after treatment with an EGFR-TKI. The SABER assay sensitivity using mixed oligonucleotides was determined to be 0.3%. The T790M mutation was detected in 21 of the 75 plasma samples (28%). The presence of the T790M mutation was confirmed by subcloning into sequencing vectors and sequencing in 14 of the 21 samples (66.6%). In this cohort of 75 patients, the median progression-free survival (PFS) of the patients with the T790M mutation (n = 21) was not statistically different from that of the patients without the mutation (n = 54, P = 0.94). When patients under 65 years of age who had a partial response were grouped according to their plasma T790M mutation status, the PFS of the T790M-positive patients (n = 11) was significantly shorter than that of the T790M-negative patients (n = 29, P = 0.03). The SABER method is a feasible means of determining the plasma T790M mutation status and could potentially be used to monitor EGFR-TKI therapy.

Comparison of epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitors for patients with lung adenocarcinoma harboring different epidermal growth factor receptor mutation types.

Project description:BackgroundEpidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutations in non-small-cell lung cancer predict sensitivity to EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs). EGFR mutation types are associated with efficacy of EGFR TKIs. We investigated the clinical outcomes of afatinib, erlotinib, and gefitinib according to EGFR mutation type in patients with lung adenocarcinoma.MethodsBetween May 2010 and December 2018, we investigated 363 patients with advanced lung adenocarcinoma harboring EGFR mutations who received EGFR TKIs. Efficacies of EGFR TKIs such as response rate, progression-free survival (PFS), and overall survival (OS) were retrospectively evaluated according to exon 19 deletion (E19del), L858R point mutation (L858R) and uncommon mutations.ResultsThe frequency of E19del was 48.2%, that of L858R was 42.4%, and that of uncommon mutations was 9.4%. E19del and L858R were associated with superior PFS and OS compared with uncommon mutations. Erlotinib showed significantly inferior OS than other TKIs (30.8 ± 3.3 in erlotinib vs. 39.1 ± 4.3 in afatinib vs. 48.4 ± 6.3 in gefitinib; p = 0.031) in patients with L858R. Gefitinib showed significantly inferior PFS (4.6 ± 1.1 in gefitinib vs. 11.6 ± 2.7 in afatinib vs. 10.6 ± 2.7 in erlotinib; p = 0.049) in patients with uncommon mutations.ConclusionAfatinib was significantly associated with a longer PFS, presenting constant effectiveness in all EGFR mutation types. Caution may be needed on the use of erlotinib for L858R and the use of gefitinib for uncommon EGFR mutations.

Diacylglycerol kinase delta regulates protein kinase C and epidermal growth factor receptor signaling.

Project description:Diacylglycerol kinases (DGKs) phosphorylate diacylglycerol (DAG) to terminate its signaling. To study DGKdelta, we disrupted its gene in mice and found that DGKdelta deficiency reduced EGF receptor (EGFR) protein expression and activity. Similar to EGFR knockout mice, DGKdelta-deficient pups were born with open eyelids and died shortly after birth. PKCs are activated by DAG and phosphorylate EGFR to reduce its expression and activity. We found DAG accumulation, increased threonine phosphorylation of EGFR, enhanced phosphorylation of other PKC substrates, and increased PKC autophosphorylation in DGKdelta knockout cells, indicating that DGKdelta regulates EGFR by modulating PKC signaling.

Epidermal growth factor receptor downregulation by small heterodimeric binding proteins.

Project description:No single engineered protein has been shown previously to robustly downregulate epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), a validated cancer target. A panel of fibronectin-based domains was engineered to bind with picomolar to nanomolar affinity to multiple epitopes of EGFR. Monovalent and homo- and hetero-bivalent dimers of these domains were tested for EGFR downregulation. Selected orientations of non-competitive heterodimers decrease EGFR levels by up to 80% in multiple cell types, without activating receptor signaling. These heterodimers inhibit autophosphorylation, proliferation and migration, and are synergistic with the monoclonal antibody cetuximab in these activities. These small (25 kDa) heterodimers represent a novel modality for modulating surface receptor levels.

Mechanisms for kinase-mediated dimerization of the epidermal growth factor receptor.

Project description:We study a mechanism by which dimerization of the EGF receptor (EGFR) cytoplasmic domain is transmitted to the ectodomain. Therapeutic and other small molecule antagonists to the kinase domain that stabilize its active conformation, but not those that stabilize an inactive conformation, stabilize ectodomain dimerization. Inhibitor-induced dimerization requires an asymmetric kinase domain interface associated with activation. EGF and kinase inhibitors stimulate formation of identical dimer interfaces in the EGFR transmembrane domain, as shown by disulfide cross-linking. Disulfide cross-linking at an interface in domain IV in the ectodomain was also stimulated similarly; however, EGF but not inhibitors stimulated cross-linking in domain II. Inhibitors similarly induced noncovalent dimerization in nearly full-length, detergent-solubilized EGFR as shown by gel filtration. EGFR ectodomain deletion resulted in spontaneous dimerization, whereas deletion of exons 2-7, in which extracellular domains III and IV are retained, did not. In EM, kinase inhibitor-induced dimers lacked any well defined orientation between the ectodomain monomers. Fab of the therapeutic antibody cetuximab to domain III confirmed a variable position and orientation of this domain in inhibitor-induced dimers but suggested that the C termini of domain IV of the two monomers were in close proximity, consistent with dimerization in the transmembrane domains. The results provide insights into the relative energetics of intracellular and extracellular dimerization in EGFR and have significance for physiologic dimerization through the asymmetric kinase interface, bidirectional signal transmission in EGFR, and mechanism of action of therapeutics.
