Comparison of CX-4945 and SCG-CK2-1 as Inhibitors of CSNK2 using Quantitative Phosphoproteomics: Triple SILAC in combination with Inhibitor-Resistant CSNK2
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Specificity is a limiting factor when using small-molecule inhibitors to study protein kinase signalling. Since inhibitor-resistant kinase mutants (i.e., drug-resistant alleles) remain active in the presence of inhibitor, they facilitate validation of on-target effects. By combining an inhibitor-resistant kinase mutant with mass spectrometry-based phosphoproteomics, we previously devised a systematic strategy for reliable identification and validation of CSNK2 substrates. In this study, we use the same strategy to evaluate the selectivity of CX-4945, a clinical stage CSNK2 inhibitor, and SGC-CK2-1, a chemical probe selectively targeting CSNK2. Human osteosarcoma (U2OS) cells expressing exogenous wild-type CSNK2A1 (WT) or an inhibitor-resistant triple mutant (TM, V66A/H160D/I174A) were treated with CX-4945 or SGC-CK2-1 prior to analysis using triple SILAC (phospho)proteomics. The minority of phosphosites, 15% at 4 hours and 5% at 24 hours, that were significantly downregulated in response to CX-4945 treatment were determined to be CSNK2A1-dependent. By comparison, the majority of phosphosites, >55% at both 4 and 24 hours, that were significantly downregulated in response to SGC-CK2-1 were identified as CSNK2A1-dependent. This indicates that SGC-CK2-1 exhibits dramatically greater selectivity towards CSNK2A1 than CX-4945. Notably, utilization of SGC-CK2-1 in cells expressing TM-CSNK2A1 enabled the identification of 330 CSNK2A1-dependent phosphosites. Overall, this study highlights the utility of exploiting highly selective chemical probes together with inhibitor-resistant kinase mutants to identify bona fide kinase substrates.
