Class IA PI3Ks regulate subcellular and functional dynamics of IDO1

ABSTRACT: Knowledge of a protein's spatial dynamics at the subcellular level is key to understanding its function(s), interactions, and associated intracellular events. Indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase 1 (IDO1) is a cytosolic enzyme that controls immune responses via tryptophan metabolism, mainly through its enzymic activity. When phosphorylated, however, IDO1 acts as a signaling molecule in plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDCs), thus activating genomic effects, ultimately leading to long-lasting immunosuppression. Whether the two activities - namely, the catalytic and signaling functions - are spatially segregated has been unclear. We found that, under conditions favoring signaling rather than catabolic events, IDO1 shifts from the cytosol to early endosomes. The event requires an interaction with class IA phosphoinositide 3-kinases (PI3Ks), which become activated, resulting in full expression of the immunoregulatory phenotype in vivo in pDCs as resulting from IDO1-dependent signaling events. Thus IDO1's spatial dynamics meet the needs for short-acting as well as durable mechanisms of immune suppression, both under acute and chronic inflammatory conditions. These data expand the theoretical basis for an IDO1-centered therapy in inflammation and autoimmunity.

Subunit Interaction Dynamics of Class Ia Ribonucleotide Reductases: In Search of a Robust Assay.

Project description:Ribonucleotide reductases (RNRs) catalyze the conversion of nucleotides (NDP) to deoxynucleotides (dNDP), in part, by controlling the ratios and quantities of dNTPs available for DNA replication and repair. The active form of Escherichia coli class Ia RNR is an asymmetric ?2?2 complex in which ?2 contains the active site and ?2 contains the stable diferric-tyrosyl radical cofactor responsible for initiating the reduction chemistry. Each dNDP is accompanied by disulfide bond formation. We now report that, under in vitro conditions, ?2 can initiate turnover in ?2 catalytically under both "one" turnover (no external reductant, though producing two dCDPs) and multiple turnover (with an external reductant) assay conditions. In the absence of reductant, rapid chemical quench analysis of a reaction of ?2, substrate, and effector with variable amounts of ?2 (1-, 10-, and 100-fold less than ?2) yields 3 dCDP/?2 at all ratios of ?2:?2 with a rate constant of 8-9 s-1, associated with a rate-limiting conformational change. Stopped-flow fluorescence spectroscopy with a fluorophore-labeled ? reveals that the rate constants for subunit association (163 ± 7 ?M-1 s-1) and dissociation (75 ± 10 s-1) are fast relative to turnover, consistent with catalytic ?2. When assaying in the presence of an external reducing system, the turnover number is dictated by the ratio of ?2:?2, their concentrations, and the concentration and nature of the reducing system; the rate-limiting step can change from the conformational gating to a step or steps involving disulfide rereduction, dissociation of the inhibited ?4?4 state, or both. The issues encountered with E. coli RNR are likely of importance in all class I RNRs and are central to understanding the development of screening assays for inhibitors of these enzymes.

Evidence for functional redundancy of class IA PI3K isoforms in insulin signalling.

Project description:Recent genetic knock-in and pharmacological approaches have suggested that, of class IA PI3Ks (phosphatidylinositol 3-kinases), it is the p110alpha isoform (PIK3CA) that plays the predominant role in insulin signalling. We have used isoform-selective inhibitors of class IA PI3K to dissect further the roles of individual p110 isoforms in insulin signalling. These include a p110alpha-specific inhibitor (PIK-75), a p110alpha-selective inhibitor (PI-103), a p110beta-specific inhibitor (TGX-221) and a p110delta-specific inhibitor (IC87114). Although we find that p110alpha is necessary for insulin-stimulated phosphorylation of PKB (protein kinase B) in several cell lines, we find that this is not the case in HepG2 hepatoma cells. Inhibition of p110beta or p110delta alone was also not sufficient to block insulin signalling to PKB in these cells, but, when added in combination with p110alpha inhibitors, they are able to significantly attenuate insulin signalling. Surprisingly, in J774.2 macrophage cells, insulin signalling to PKB was inhibited to a similar extent by inhibitors of p110alpha, p110beta or p110delta. These results provide evidence that p110beta and p110delta can play a role in insulin signalling and also provide the first evidence that there can be functional redundancy between p110 isoforms. Further, our results indicate that the degree of functional redundancy is linked to the relative levels of expression of each isoform in the target cells.

Resveratrol is a class IA phosphoinositide 3-kinase inhibitor.

Project description:Resveratrol, a polyphenol found in fruits, possesses chemopreventive and chemotherapeutic properties and has been shown to increase lifespan in yeast and metazoans, including mice. Genetic evidence and in vitro enzymatic measurements indicate that the deacetylase Sir2/SIRT1, an enzyme promoting stress resistance and aging, is the target of resveratrol. Similarly, down-regulation of insulin-like pathways, of which PI3K (phosphoinositide 3-kinase) is a key mediator, promotes longevity and is an attractive strategy to fight cancer. We show here that resveratrol inhibits, in vitro and in cultured muscle cell lines, class IA PI3K and its downstream signalling at the same concentration range at which it activates sirtuins. Our observations define class IA PI3K as a target of resveratrol that may contribute to the longevity-promoting and anticancer properties and identify resveratrol as a natural class-specific PI3K inhibitor.

Inhibition of class IA PI3K enzymes in non-small cell lung cancer cells uncovers functional compensation among isoforms.

Project description:Deregulation of the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) pathway is central to many human malignancies while normal cell proliferation requires pathway functionality. Although inhibitors of the PI3K pathway are in clinical trials or approved for therapy, an understanding of the functional activities of pathway members in specific malignancies is needed. In lung cancers, the PI3K pathway is often aberrantly activated by mutation of genes encoding EGFR, KRAS, and PIK3CA proteins. We sought to understand whether class IA PI3K enzymes represent rational therapeutic targets in cells of non-squamous lung cancers by exploring pharmacological and genetic inhibitors of PI3K enzymes in a non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cell line system. We found that class IA PI3K enzymes were expressed in all cell lines tested, but treatment of NSCLC lines with isoform-selective inhibitors (A66, TGX-221, CAL-101 and IC488743) had little effect on cell proliferation or prolonged inhibition of AKT activity. Inhibitory pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic responses were observed using these agents at non-isoform selective concentrations and with the pan-class I (ZSTK474) agent. Response to pharmacological inhibition suggested that PI3K isoforms may functionally compensate for one another thus limiting efficacy of single agent treatment. However, combination of ZSTK474 and an EGFR inhibitor (erlotinib) in NSCLC resistant to each single agent reduced cellular proliferation. These studies uncovered unanticipated cellular responses to PI3K isoform inhibition in NSCLC that does not correlate with PI3K mutations, suggesting that patients bearing tumors with wildtype EGFR and KRAS are unlikely to benefit from inhibitors of single isoforms but may respond to pan-isoform inhibition.

Direct observation of topoisomerase IA gate dynamics.

Project description:Type IA topoisomerases cleave single-stranded DNA and relieve negative supercoils in discrete steps corresponding to the passage of the intact DNA strand through the cleaved strand. Although type IA topoisomerases are assumed to accomplish this strand passage via a protein-mediated DNA gate, opening of this gate has never been observed. We developed a single-molecule assay to directly measure gate opening of the Escherichia coli type IA topoisomerases I and III. We found that after cleavage of single-stranded DNA, the protein gate opens by as much as 6.6 nm and can close against forces in excess of 16 pN. Key differences in the cleavage, ligation, and gate dynamics of these two enzymes provide insights into their different cellular functions. The single-molecule results are broadly consistent with conformational changes obtained from molecular dynamics simulations. These results allowed us to develop a mechanistic model of interactions between type IA topoisomerases and single-stranded DNA.

Somatic mutations in p85alpha promote tumorigenesis through class IA PI3K activation.

Project description:Members of the mammalian phosphoinositide-3-OH kinase (PI3K) family of proteins are critical regulators of various cellular process including cell survival, growth, proliferation, and motility. Oncogenic activating mutations in the p110alpha catalytic subunit of the heterodimeric p110/p85 PI3K enzyme are frequent in human cancers. Here we show the presence of frequent mutations in p85alpha in colon cancer, a majority of which occurs in the inter-Src homology-2 (iSH2) domain. These mutations uncouple and retain p85alpha's p110-stabilizing activity, while abrogating its p110-inhibitory activity. The p85alpha mutants promote cell survival, AKT activation, anchorage-independent cell growth, and oncogenesis in a p110-dependent manner.

Allele-Independent Turnover of Human Leukocyte Antigen (HLA) Class Ia Molecules.

Project description:Major histocompatibility complex class I (MHCI) glycoproteins present cytosolic peptides to CD8+ T cells and regulate NK cell activity. Their heavy chains (HC) are expressed from up to three MHC gene loci (human leukocyte antigen [HLA]-A, -B, and -C in humans), whose extensive polymorphism maps predominantly to the antigen-binding groove, diversifying the bound peptide repertoire. Codominant expression of MHCI alleles is thus functionally critical, but how it is regulated is not fully understood. Here, we have examined the effect of polymorphism on the turnover rates of MHCI molecules in cell lines with functional MHCI peptide loading pathways and in monocyte-derived dendritic cells (MoDCs). Proteins were labeled biosynthetically with heavy water (2H2O), folded MHCI molecules immunoprecipitated, and tryptic digests analysed by mass spectrometry. MHCI-derived peptides were assigned to specific alleles and isotypes, and turnover rates quantified by 2H incorporation, after correcting for cell growth. MHCI turnover half-lives ranged from undetectable to a few hours, depending on cell type, activation state, donor, and MHCI isotype. However, in all settings, the turnover half-lives of alleles of the same isotype were similar. Thus, MHCI protein turnover rates appear to be allele-independent in normal human cells. We propose that this is an important feature enabling the normal function and codominant expression of MHCI alleles.

Synthesis, Docking and Biological Evaluation of a Novel Class of Imidazothiazoles as IDO1 Inhibitors.

Project description:IDO1, a key dioxygenase in tryptophan-kynurenine metabolism, appeared in the last 10 years at the vanguard of druggable targets in cancer therapy due to its well-established role both in immune escape and inflammatory neovascularization. Among the pool of IDO1 inhibitors that have entered clinical trials, none have reached approval. The identification of novel inhibitors endowed with better clinical profile, together with the further comprehension of the interactions with residues in IDO1 active site, are still a need. In this context, we have synthesized a novel class of imidazothiazole derivatives as IDO1 inhibitors and identified three compounds with inhibitory potency in the low micromolar range. This report strengthens the role played by pocket C in the active site of IDO1, providing novel directions in the design of IDO1 inhibitors.

Phase Ia study of the indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase 1 (IDO1) inhibitor navoximod (GDC-0919) in patients with recurrent advanced solid tumors.

Project description:BackgroundIndoleamine-2,3-dioxygenase 1 (IDO1) catalyzes the oxidation of tryptophan into kynurenine and is partially responsible for acquired immune tolerance associated with cancer. The IDO1 small molecule inhibitor navoximod (GDC-0919, NLG-919) is active as a combination therapy in multiple tumor models.MethodsThis open-label Phase Ia study assessed safety, pharmacokinetics (PK), pharmacodynamics (PD), and preliminary anti-tumor activity of navoximod in patients with recurrent/advanced solid tumors, administered as 50-800 mg BID on a 21/28 day and at 600 mg on a 28/28 day schedule. Plasma kynurenine and tryptophan were longitudinally evaluated and tumor assessments were performed.ResultsPatients (n = 22) received a median of 3 cycles of navoximod. No maximum tolerated dose was reached. One dose-limiting toxicity of Grade 4 lower gastrointestinal hemorrhage was reported. Adverse events (AEs) regardless of causality in ≥20% of patients included fatigue (59%), cough, decreased appetite, and pruritus (41% each), nausea (36%), and vomiting (27%). Grade ≥ 3 AEs occurred in 14/22 patients (64%), and were related to navoximod in two patients (9%). Navoximod was rapidly absorbed (Tmax ~ 1 h) and exhibited dose-proportional increases in exposure, with a half-life (t1/2 ~ 11 h) supportive of BID dosing. Navoximod transiently decreased plasma kynurenine from baseline levels with kinetics consistent with its half-life. Of efficacy-evaluable patients, 8 (36%) had stable disease and 10 (46%) had progressive disease.ConclusionsNavoximod was well-tolerated at doses up to 800 mg BID decreasing plasma kynurenine levels consistent with its half-life. Stable disease responses were observed.Trial registrationClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT02048709 .
