The majority of kinase inhibitors that have been developed so far--known as type I inhibitors--target the ATP binding site of the kinase in its active conformation, in which the activation loop is phosphorylated. Recently, crystal structures of inhibitors such as imatinib (STI571), BIRB796 and sorafenib (BAY43-9006)--known as type II inhibitors--have revealed a new binding mode that exploits an additional binding site immediately adjacent to the region occupied by ATP. This pocket is made accessible by an activation-loop rearrangement that is characteristic of kinases in an inactive conformation. Here, we present a structural analysis of binding modes of known human type II inhibitors and demonstrate that they conform to a pharmacophore model that is currently being used to design a new generation of kinase inhibitors. 相似文献

The deregulated tyrosine kinase activity of BCR-ABL is necessary and sufficient to induce chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML). This observation has paved the way for the development of small-molecule inhibitors specifically targeting the kinase activity of the BCR-ABL protein. Indeed, the amazing success of imatinib has revolutionized the whole area of targeted cancer therapeutics. However, enthusiasm for the striking efficacy of imatinib has been tempered by the development of clinical resistance. In essentially all cases, resistance results from kinase domain mutations and/or overexpression of the BCR-ABL gene. To overcome resistance, several novel BCR-ABL inhibitors have been developed and are in clinical trials, though it is inevitable that resistance to second-generation inhibitors will occur as well. Nonetheless, kinases represent an attractive target for therapeutic intervention in several diseases and, at present, some 50 different kinase inhibitors are in clinical trials. We anticipate that resistance to these compounds will follow mechanisms similar to those observed with imatinib. Resistance mutations cause their effect either by direct steric hindrance to drug binding or by allosterically modulating kinase dynamics. This review highlights the principal mechanisms underlying point mutations from these two different classes to confer drug resistance. 相似文献

In this article, we are reviewing the molecular mechanisms that lead to kinase inhibitor resistance. As the oncogenic BCR-ABL kinase is the target of the first approved small-molecule kinase inhibitor imatinib, we will first focus on the structural and mechanistic basis for imatinib resistance. We will then show ways how next generations of BCR-ABL inhibitors and alternative targeting strategies have helped to offer effective treatment options for imatinib-resistant patients. Based on these insights, we discuss commonalities and further mechanisms that lead to resistance to other kinase inhibitors in solid tumors. This article is part of a Special Issue entitled: Inhibitors of Protein Kinases (2012). 相似文献

We report a clustering of public human protein kinase structures based on the conformations of two structural elements, the activation segment and the C-helix, revealing three discrete clusters. One cluster includes kinases in catalytically active conformations. Each of the other clusters contains a distinct inactive conformation. Typically, kinases adopt at most one of the inactive conformations in available X-ray structures, implying that one of the conformations is preferred for many kinases. The classification is consistent with selectivity profiles of several well-characterized kinase inhibitors. We show further that inhibitor selectivity profiles guide kinase classification. For example, selective inhibition of lck among src-family kinases by imatinib (Gleevec) suggests that the relative stabilities of inactive conformations of lck are different from other src-family kinases. We report the X-ray structure of the lck/imatinib complex, confirming that the conformation adopted by lck is distinct from other structurally-characterized src-family kinases and instead resembles kinases abl1 and kit in complex with imatinib. Our classification creates new paths for designing small-molecule inhibitors. 相似文献

Current structural understanding of kinases is largely based on x-ray crystallographic studies, whereas very little data exist on the conformations and dynamics that kinases adopt in the solution state. ABL kinase is an important drug target in the treatment of chronic myelogenous leukemia. Here, we present the first characterization of ABL kinase in complex with three clinical inhibitors (imatinib, nilotinib, and dasatinib) by modern solution NMR techniques. Structural and dynamical results were derived from complete backbone resonance assignments, experimental residual dipolar couplings, and (15)N relaxation data. Residual dipolar coupling data on the imatinib and nilotinib complexes show that the activation loop adopts the inactive conformation, whereas the dasatinib complex preserves the active conformation, which does not support contrary predictions based upon molecular modeling. Nanosecond as well as microsecond dynamics can be detected for certain residues in the activation loop in the inactive and active conformation complexes. 相似文献

The role of HSP90 in stabilization of oncogenic tyrosine kinases made it an attractive therapeutic target for treating cancer but the molecular basis underlying the interaction between the HSP90 chaperone and client kinases is not elucidated yet. Using kinase inhibitors we show that the inactive conformation of ERBB2 does not interact with HSP90 chaperone and is thus not amenable to degradation upon HSP90 inhibitor treatment, while active ERBB2 kinase conformation promotes interaction with the HSP90 machinery and thus is degraded upon HSP90 inhibitor treatment. Interestingly, the kinase-chaperone interaction is disrupted in case of BCR-ABL and FLT3-ITD when bound to inhibitors irrespective of whether they block the kinase in an active or inactive conformation and thus our results indicate that the stability of the active kinase conformation varies between different kinases. 相似文献

The family of fibroblast growth factor receptors (FGFRs) plays an important and well-characterized role in a variety of pathological disorders. FGFR4 is involved in myogenesis and muscle regeneration. Mutations affecting the kinase domain of FGFR4 may cause cancer, for example, breast cancer or rhabdomyosarcoma. Whereas FGFR1–FGFR3 have been structurally characterized, the structure of the FGFR4 kinase domain has not yet been reported. In this study, we present four structures of the kinase domain of FGFR4, in its apo-form and in complex with different types of small-molecule inhibitors. The two apo-FGFR4 kinase domain structures show an activation segment similar in conformation to an autoinhibitory segment observed in the hepatocyte growth factor receptor kinase but different from the known structures of other FGFR kinases. The structures of FGFR4 in complex with the type I inhibitor Dovitinib and the type II inhibitor Ponatinib reveal the molecular interactions with different types of kinase inhibitors and may assist in the design and development of FGFR4 inhibitors. 相似文献

MOTIVATION: Evolutionary and structural conservation patterns shared by more than 500 of identified protein kinases have led to complex sequence-structure relationships of cross-reactivity for kinase inhibitors. Understanding the molecular basis of binding specificity for protein kinases family, which is the central problem in discovery of cancer therapeutics, remains challenging as the inhibitor selectivity is not readily interpreted from chemical proteomics studies, neither it is easily discernable directly from sequence or structure information. We present an integrated view of sequence-structure-binding relationships in the tyrosine kinome space in which evolutionary analysis of the kinases binding sites is combined with computational proteomics profiling of the inhibitor-protein interactions. This approach provides a functional classification of the binding specificity mechanisms for cancer agents targeting protein tyrosine kinases. RESULTS: The proposed functional classification of the kinase binding specificities explores mechanisms in which structural plasticity of the tyrosine kinases and sequence variation of the binding-site residues are linked with conformational preferences of the inhibitors in achieving effective drug binding. The molecular basis of binding specificity for tyrosine kinases may be largely driven by conformational adaptability of the inhibitors to an ensemble of structurally different conformational states of the enzyme, rather than being determined by their phylogenetic proximity in the kinome space or differences in the interactions with the variable binding-site residues. This approach provides a fruitful functional linkage between structural bioinformatics analysis and disease by unraveling the molecular basis of kinase selectivity for the prominent kinase drugs (Imatinib, Dasatinib and Erlotinib) which is consistent with structural and proteomics experiments. 相似文献

Multiscale computational study of ligand binding pathways: Case of p38 MAP kinase and its inhibitors
《Biophysical journal》2021,120(18):3881-3892
Protein kinases are one of the most important drug targets in the past 10 years. Understanding the inhibitor association processes will profoundly impact new binder designs with preferred binding kinetics. However, after more than a decade of effort, a complete atomistic-level study of kinase inhibitor binding pathways is still lacking. As all kinases share a similar scaffold, we used p38 kinase as a model system to investigate the conformational dynamics and free energy transition of inhibitor binding toward kinases. Two major kinase conformations, Asp-Phe-Gly (DFG)-in and DFG-out, and three types of inhibitors, type I, II, and III, were thoroughly investigated in this work. We performed Brownian dynamics simulations and up to 340 μs Gaussian-accelerated molecular dynamics simulations to capture the inhibitor binding paths and a series of conformational transitions of the p38 kinase from its apo to inhibitor-bound form. Eighteen successful binding trajectories, including all types of inhibitors, are reported herein. Our simulations suggest a mechanism of inhibitor recruitment, a faster ligand association step to a pre-existing DFG-in/DFG-out p38 protein, followed by a slower molecular rearrangement step to adjust the protein-ligand conformation followed by a shift in the energy landscape to reach the final bound state. The ligand association processes also reflect the energetic favor of type I and type II/III inhibitor binding through ATP and allosteric channels, respectively. These different binding routes are directly responsible for the fast (type I binders) and slow (type II/III binders) kinetics of different types of p38 inhibitors. Our findings also echo the recent study of p38 inhibitor dissociation, implying that ligand unbinding could undergo a reverse path of binding, and both processes share similar metastates. This study deepens the understanding of molecular and energetic features of kinase inhibitor-binding processes and will inspire future drug development from a kinetic point of view. 相似文献

The central role of protein kinases in signal transduction pathways has generated intense interest in targeting these enzymes for a wide range of therapeutic indications. Here we report a method for identifying and quantifying protein kinases in any biological sample or tissue from any species. The procedure relies on acyl phosphate-containing nucleotides, prepared from a biotin derivative and ATP or ADP. The acyl phosphate probes react selectively and covalently at the ATP binding sites of at least 75% of the known human protein kinases. Biotinylated peptide fragments from labeled proteomes are captured and then sequenced and identified using a mass spectrometry-based analysis platform to determine the kinases present and their relative levels. Further, direct competition between the probes and inhibitors can be assessed to determine inhibitor potency and selectivity against native protein kinases, as well as hundreds of other ATPases. The ability to broadly profile kinase activities in native proteomes offers an exciting prospect for both target discovery and inhibitor selectivity profiling. 相似文献

Protein kinases are among the most commonly targeted groups of molecules in drug discovery today. Despite this, there are few examples of using surface plasmon resonance (SPR) for kinase inhibitor interaction studies, probably reflecting the need for better developed assays for these proteins. In this article, we present a general methodology that uses biosensor technology to study small molecule binding to eight different serine/threonine and tyrosine kinases. Mild immobilization conditions and a carefully composed assay buffer were identified as key success factors. The methodology package consists of direct binding studies of compounds to immobilized kinases, kinase activity assays to confirm inhibitory effects, detailed kinetic analyses of inhibitor binding, and competition assays with ATP for identification of competitive inhibitors. The kinetic assays resolve affinity into the rates of inhibitor binding and dissociation. Therefore, more detailed information on the relation between inhibitor structure and function is obtained. This might be of key importance for the development of effective kinase inhibitors. 相似文献

The discoidin domain receptors (DDRs), DDR1 and DDR2, form a unique subfamily of receptor tyrosine kinases that are activated by the binding of triple-helical collagen. Excessive signaling by DDR1 and DDR2 has been linked to the progression of various human diseases, including fibrosis, atherosclerosis and cancer. We report the inhibition of these unusual receptor tyrosine kinases by the multi-targeted cancer drugs imatinib and ponatinib, as well as the selective type II inhibitor DDR1-IN-1. Ponatinib is identified as the more potent molecule, which inhibits DDR1 and DDR2 with an IC50 of 9 nM. Co-crystal structures of human DDR1 reveal a DFG-out conformation (DFG, Asp-Phe-Gly) of the kinase domain that is stabilized by an unusual salt bridge between the activation loop and αD helix. Differences to Abelson kinase (ABL) are observed in the DDR1 P-loop, where a β-hairpin replaces the cage-like structure of ABL. P-loop residues in DDR1 that confer drug resistance in ABL are therefore accommodated outside the ATP pocket. Whereas imatinib and ponatinib bind potently to both the DDR and ABL kinases, the hydrophobic interactions of the ABL P-loop appear poorly satisfied by DDR1-IN-1 suggesting a structural basis for its DDR1 selectivity. Such inhibitors may have applications in clinical indications of DDR1 and DDR2 overexpression or mutation, including lung cancer. 相似文献

We tested the interaction of 72 kinase inhibitors with 442 kinases covering >80% of the human catalytic protein kinome. Our data show that, as a class, type II inhibitors are more selective than type I inhibitors, but that there are important exceptions to this trend. The data further illustrate that selective inhibitors have been developed against the majority of kinases targeted by the compounds tested. Analysis of the interaction patterns reveals a class of 'group-selective' inhibitors broadly active against a single subfamily of kinases, but selective outside that subfamily. The data set suggests compounds to use as tools to study kinases for which no dedicated inhibitors exist. It also provides a foundation for further exploring kinase inhibitor biology and toxicity, as well as for studying the structural basis of the observed interaction patterns. Our findings will help to realize the direct enabling potential of genomics for drug development and basic research about cellular signaling. 相似文献

A plethora of important targets for therapeutic intervention occurs in the protein kinase superfamily, one of the most thoroughly investigated groups of drug targets. Kinases have a deep hydrophobic ATP binding site that has been successfully exploited with the discovery of potent ATP-competitive drugs. However, most features of this pocket are well conserved in all protein kinases, which explains why kinase inhibitors typically exhibit a fairly indiscriminate spectrum of activity. Crystal structures of various protein kinases bound to their ligands are described, which begin to explain the observed selectivity profiles of kinase inhibitors. The insights gained from these structures suggest several approaches to improve inhibitor specificity and these approaches are summarized. The exciting potential of new high-throughput methods in structure determination that enable the systematic atomic-resolution investigation of large numbers of inhibitors bound to their various kinase targets will be discussed. 相似文献

With the success of protein kinase inhibitors as drugs to target cancer, there is a continued need for new kinase inhibitor scaffolds. We have investigated the synthesis and kinase inhibition of new heteroaryl-substituted diazaspirocyclic compounds that mimic ATP. Versatile syntheses of substituted diazaspirocycles through ring-closing metathesis were demonstrated. Diazaspirocycles directly linked to heteroaromatic hinge binder groups provided ligand efficient inhibitors of multiple kinases, suitable as starting points for further optimization. The binding modes of representative diazaspirocyclic motifs were confirmed by protein crystallography. Selectivity profiles were influenced by the hinge binder group and the interactions of basic nitrogen atoms in the scaffold with acidic side-chains of residues in the ATP pocket. The introduction of more complex substitution to the diazaspirocycles increased potency and varied the selectivity profiles of these initial hits through engagement of the P-loop and changes to the spirocycle conformation, demonstrating the potential of these core scaffolds for future application to kinase inhibitor discovery. 相似文献

Protein kinase inhibitors with enhanced selectivity can be designed by optimizing binding interactions with less conserved inactive conformations because such inhibitors will be less likely to compete with ATP for binding and therefore may be less impacted by high intracellular concentrations of ATP. Analysis of the ATP-binding cleft in a number of inactive protein kinases, particularly in the autoinhibited conformation, led to the identification of a previously undisclosed non-polar region in this cleft. This ATP-incompatible hydrophobic region is distinct from the previously characterized hydrophobic allosteric back pocket, as well as the main pocket. Generalized hypothetical models of inactive kinases were constructed and, for the work described here, we selected the fibroblast growth factor receptor (FGFR) tyrosine kinase family as a case study. Initial optimization of a FGFR2 inhibitor identified from a library of commercial compounds was guided using structural information from the model. We describe the inhibitory characteristics of this compound in biophysical, biochemical, and cell-based assays, and have characterized the binding mode using x-ray crystallographic studies. The results demonstrate, as expected, that these inhibitors prevent activation of the autoinhibited conformation, retain full inhibitory potency in the presence of physiological concentrations of ATP, and have favorable inhibitory activity in cancer cells. Given the widespread regulation of kinases by autoinhibitory mechanisms, the approach described herein provides a new paradigm for the discovery of inhibitors by targeting inactive conformations of protein kinases. 相似文献

In addition to target efficacy, drug safety is a major requirement during the drug discovery process and is influenced by target specificity. Therefore, it is imperative that every new drug candidate be profiled against various liability panels that include protein kinases. Here, an effective methodology to streamline kinase inhibitor profiling is described. An accessible standardized profiling system for 112 protein kinases covering all branches of the kinome was developed. This approach consists of creating different sets of kinases and their corresponding substrates in multi-tube strips. The kinase stocks are pre-standardized for optimal kinase activity and used for inhibitor profiling using a bioluminescent ADP detection assay. We show that these strips can routinely generate inhibitor selectivity profiles for small or broad kinase family panels. Lipid kinases were also assembled in strip format and profiled together with protein kinases. We identified two specific PI3K inhibitors that have off-target effects on CK2 that were not reported before and would have been missed if compounds were not profiled against lipid and protein kinases simultaneously. To validate the accuracy of the data generated by this method, we confirmed that the inhibition potencies observed are consistent with published values produced by more complex technologies such as radioactivity assays. 相似文献

Protein kinases have been found to possess two characteristic conformations in their activation-loops: the active DFG-in conformation and the inactive DFG-out conformation. Recently, it has been very interesting to develop type-II inhibitors which target the DFG-out conformation and are more specific than the type-I inhibitors binding to the active DFG-in conformation. However, solving crystal structures of kinases with the DFG-out conformation remains a challenge, and this seriously hampers the application of the structure-based approaches in development of novel type-II inhibitors. To overcome this limitation, here we present a computational approach for predicting the DFG-out inactive conformation using the DFG-in active structures, and develop related conformational selection protocols for the uses of the predicted DFG-out models in the binding pose prediction and virtual screening of type-II ligands. With the DFG-out models, we predicted the binding poses for known type-II inhibitors, and the results were found in good agreement with the X-ray crystal structures. We also tested the abilities of the DFG-out models to recognize their specific type-II inhibitors by screening a database of small molecules. The AUC (area under curve) results indicated that the predicted DFG-out models were selective toward their specific type-II inhibitors. Therefore, the computational approach and protocols presented in this study are very promising for the structure-based design and screening of novel type-II kinase inhibitors. 相似文献

Cytosolic PIM kinases are the members of serine/ threonine family play a crucial role in the cancer progression and development. Overexpression of PIM kinases is observed in various types of cancers including prostate, hematological, pancreatic, breast carcinoma and likewise. PIM kinases have now been considered as limelight target for the discovery of new molecules as novel anticancer agents as no drug is in the market targeting PIM kinases. In the last two decades, numerous PIM kinase inhibitors have been developed and few of them were in clinical trial phases but could not pass the pipeline of the clinical trials. The present comprehensive review intends to cover biological and the structural aspects of PIM kinases and also medicinal chemistry of PIM inhibitors developed in recent years. 相似文献
