Protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B (PTP1B) has been implicated in the regulation of the insulin signaling pathway and represents an attractive target for the design of inhibitors in the treatment of type 2 diabetes and obesity. Inspection of the structure of PTP1B indicates that potent PTP1B inhibitors may be obtained by targeting a secondary aryl phosphate-binding site as well as the catalytic site. We report here the crystal structures of PTP1B in complex with first and second generation aryldifluoromethyl-phosphonic acid inhibitors. While all compounds bind in a previously unexploited binding pocket near the primary binding site, the second generation compounds also reach into the secondary binding site, and exhibit moderate selectivity for PTP1B over the closely related T-cell phosphatase. The molecular basis for the selectivity has been confirmed by single point mutation at position 52, where the two phosphatases differ by a phenylalanine-to-tyrosine switch. These compounds present a novel platform for the development of potent and selective PTP1B inhibitors. 相似文献

Allosteric inhibition of protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B 总被引:8,自引:0,他引:8

Obesity and type II diabetes are closely linked metabolic syndromes that afflict >100 million people worldwide. Although protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B (PTP1B) has emerged as a promising target for the treatment of both syndromes, the discovery of pharmaceutically acceptable inhibitors that bind at the active site remains a substantial challenge. Here we describe the discovery of an allosteric site in PTP1B. Crystal structures of PTP1B in complex with allosteric inhibitors reveal a novel site located approximately 20 A from the catalytic site. We show that allosteric inhibitors prevent formation of the active form of the enzyme by blocking mobility of the catalytic loop, thereby exploiting a general mechanism used by tyrosine phosphatases. Notably, these inhibitors exhibit selectivity for PTP1B and enhance insulin signaling in cells. Allosteric inhibition is a promising strategy for targeting PTP1B and constitutes a mechanism that may be applicable to other tyrosine phosphatases. 相似文献

Formylchromone derivatives as irreversible and selective inhibitors of human protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B. Kinetic and modeling studies 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Shim YS Kim KC Lee KA Shrestha S Lee KH Kim CK Cho H 《Bioorganic & medicinal chemistry》2005,13(4):1325-1332
A series of formylchromone derivatives were synthesized as PTP1B inhibitors and some of them were potent against PTP1B with IC50 values as low as 1.0 microM. They exhibited remarkable selectivity for PTP1B over other human PTPases. Kinetic studies revealed that formylchromone derivatives are irreversible and active site-directed inhibitors. Molecular modeling study identified the orientation of the inhibitor bound at the active site of PTP1B. 相似文献

Protein tyrosine phosphatases (PTPs) catalyze the hydrolysis of phosphotyrosyl (pY) proteins to produce tyrosyl proteins and inorganic phosphate. Specific PTPs inhibitors provide useful tools for studying PTP function in signal transduction processes and potential treatment for human diseases such as diabetes, inflammation, and cancer. In this work, trans-beta-nitrostyrene (TBNS) and its derivatives are found to be slow-binding inhibitors against protein tyrosine phosphatases PTP1B, SHP-1, and Yop with moderate potencies (K(I*) = 1-10 microM). Competition experiments with a substrate (pNPP) and iodoacetate indicate that TBNS is active site-directed. The mechanism of inhibition was investigated by UV-vis absorption spectroscopy, (1)H-(13)C heteronuclear single-quantum correlation NMR spectroscopy, and site-directed mutagenesis. These studies suggested a mechanism in which TBNS acts a pY mimetic and binds to the PTP active site to form an initial noncovalent E.I complex, followed by nucleophilic attack on the TBNS nitro group by Cys-215 of PTP1B to form a reversible, covalent adduct as the tighter E.I* complex. TBNS derivatives represent a new class of neutral pY mimetic inhibitors of PTPs. 相似文献

As the prototypical member of the PTP family, protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B (PTP1B) is an attractive target for therapeutic interventions in type 2 diabetes. The extremely conserved catalytic site of PTP1B renders the design of selective PTP1B inhibitors intractable. Although discovered allosteric inhibitors containing a benzofuran sulfonamide scaffold offer fascinating opportunities to overcome selectivity issues, the allosteric inhibitory mechanism of PTP1B has remained elusive. Here, molecular dynamics (MD) simulations, coupled with a dynamic weighted community analysis, were performed to unveil the potential allosteric signal propagation pathway from the allosteric site to the catalytic site in PTP1B. This result revealed that the allosteric inhibitor compound-3 induces a conformational rearrangement in helix α7, disrupting the triangular interaction among helix α7, helix α3, and loop11. Helix α7 then produces a force, pulling helix α3 outward, and promotes Ser190 to interact with Tyr176. As a result, the deviation of Tyr176 abrogates the hydrophobic interactions with Trp179 and leads to the downward movement of the WPD loop, which forms an H-bond between Asp181 and Glu115. The formation of this H-bond constrains the WPD loop to its open conformation and thus inactivates PTP1B. The discovery of this allosteric mechanism provides an overall view of the regulation of PTP1B, which is an important insight for the design of potent allosteric PTP1B inhibitors. 相似文献

Probing the molecular basis for potent and selective protein-tyrosine phosphatase 1B inhibition 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

Protein-tyrosine phosphatases (PTPs) are important for the control of proper cellular tyrosine phosphorylation. Despite the large number of PTPs encoded in the human genome and the emerging roles played by PTPs in human diseases, a detailed understanding of the role played by PTPs in normal physiology and in pathogenic conditions has been hampered by the absence of PTP-specific inhibitors. Such inhibitors could serve as useful tools for determining the physiological functions of PTPs and may constitute valuable therapeutics in the treatment of several human diseases. However, because of the highly conserved nature of the active site, it has been difficult to develop selective PTP inhibitors. By taking an approach to tether together two small ligands that can interact simultaneously with the active site and a unique proximal noncatalytic site, we have recently acquired Compound 2 (see Fig. 1), the most potent and selective PTP1B inhibitor identified to date, which exhibits several orders of magnitude selectivity in favor of PTP1B against a panel of PTPs. We describe an evaluation of the interaction between 2 and its analogs with PTP1B and its site-directed mutants selected based on hydrogen/deuterium exchange of PTP1B backbone amides in the presence and absence of 2. We have established the binding mode of Compound 2 and identified 12 PTP1B residues that are important for the potency and selectivity of Compound 2. Although many of the residues important for Compound 2 binding are not unique to PTP1B, the combinations of all contact residues differ between PTP isozymes, which suggest that the binding surface defined by these residues in individual PTPs determines inhibitor selectivity. Our results provide structural information toward understanding of the molecular basis for potent and selective PTP1B inhibition and further establish the feasibility of acquiring potent, yet highly selective, PTP inhibitory agents. 相似文献

Binding modes of a series of aryloxymethylphosphonates and monoanionic biosteres of phosphate group from a series of benzylic alpha,alpha-diflluoro phosphate and its biosteres as protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B (PTP 1B) inhibitors have been identified by molecular modeling techniques. We have performed docking and molecular dynamics simulations of these inhibitors with PTP 1B enzyme. The initial conformation of the inhibitors for docking was obtained from simulated annealing technique. Solvent accessible surface area calculations suggested that active site of PTP 1B is highly hydrophobic. The results indicate that for aryloxymethylphosphonates, in addition to hydrogen bonding interactions, Tyr46, Arg47, Asp48, Val49, Glu115, Lys116, Lys120 amino acid residues of PTP 1B are responsible for governing inhibitor potency of the compounds. The sulfonate and tetrazole functional groups have been identified as effective monoanionic biosteres of phosphate group and biphenyl ring system due to its favorable interactions with Glu115, Lys116, Lys120 residues of PTP 1B found to be more suitable aromatic functionality than naphthalene ring system for benzylic alpha,alpha-diflluoro phosphate and its biosteres. The information generated from the present study should be useful in the design of more potent PTP 1B inhibitors as anti diabetic agents. 相似文献

Residues distant from the active site influence protein-tyrosine phosphatase 1B inhibitor binding 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3

Regions of protein-tyrosine phosphatase (PTP) 1B that are distant from the active site yet affect inhibitor binding were identified by a novel library screen. This screen was based on the observation that expression of v-Src in yeast leads to lethality, which can be rescued by the coexpression of PTP1B. However, this rescue is lost when yeast are grown in the presence of PTP1B inhibitors. To identify regions of PTP1B (amino acids 1-400, catalytic domain plus 80-amino acid C-terminal tail) that can affect the binding of the difluoromethyl phosphonate (DFMP) inhibitor 7-bromo-6-difluoromethylphosphonate 3-naphthalenenitrile, a library coexpressing PTP1B mutants and v-Src was generated, and the ability of yeast to grow in the presence of the inhibitor was evaluated. PTP1B inhibitor-resistant mutations were found to concentrate on helix alpha7 and its surrounding region, but not in the active site. No resistant amino acid substitutions were found to occur in the C-terminal tail, suggesting that this region has little effect on active-site inhibitor binding. An in-depth characterization of a resistant substitution localizing to region alpha7 (S295F) revealed that this change minimally affected enzyme catalytic activity, but significantly reduced the potency of a panel of structurally diverse DFMP PTP1B inhibitors. This loss of inhibitor potency was found to be due to the difluoro moiety of these inhibitors because only the difluoro inhibitors were shifted. For example, the inhibitor potency of a monofluorinated or non-fluorinated analog of one of these DFMP inhibitors was only minimally affected. Using this type of library screen, which can scan the nearly full-length PTP1B sequence (catalytic domain and C-terminal tail) for effects on inhibitor binding, we have been able to identify novel regions of PTP1B that specifically affect the binding of DFMP inhibitors. 相似文献

Protein-tyrosine phosphatase 1B (PTP1B) has been implicated as an important regulator in several signaling pathways including those initiated by insulin and leptin. Potent and specific PTP1B inhibitors could serve as useful tools in elucidating the physiological functions of PTP1B and may constitute valuable therapeutics in the treatment of several human diseases. We have determined the crystal structure of PTP1B in complex with compound 2, the most potent and selective PTP1B inhibitor reported to date. The structure at 2.15-A resolution reveals that compound 2 simultaneously binds to the active site and a unique proximal noncatalytic site formed by Lys-41, Arg-47, and Asp-48. The structural data are further corroborated by results from kinetic analyses of the interactions of PTP1B and its site-directed mutants with compound 2 and several of its variants. Although many of the residues important for interactions between PTP1B and compound 2 are not unique to PTP1B, the combinations of all contact residues differ between PTP isozymes, which provide a structural basis for potent and selective PTP1B inhibition. Our data further suggest that potent, yet highly selective, PTP1B inhibitory agents can be acquired by targeting the area defined by residues Lys-41, Arg-47, and Asp-48, in addition to the previously identified second aryl phosphate-binding pocket. 相似文献

Protein tyrosine phosphatases (PTPs) are a large family of enzymes that catalyze the hydrolytic removal of the phosphoryl group from phosphotyrosyl (pY) proteins. PTP inhibitors provide potential treatment of human diseases/conditions such as diabetes and obesity as well as useful tools for studying the function of PTPs in signaling pathways. In this work, we have shown that certain aryl-substituted aldehydes act as reversible, slow-binding inhibitors of modest potency against PTP1B, SHP-1, and a dual-specificity phosphatase, VHR. Attachment of the tripeptide Gly-Glu-Glu to the para position of cinnamaldehyde resulted in an inhibitor (Cinn-GEE) of substantially increased potency against all three enzymes (e.g., K(I) = 5.4 microM against PTP1B). The mechanism of inhibition was investigated using Cinn-GEE specifically labeled with (13)C at the aldehyde carbon and (1)H-(13)C heteronuclear single-quantum coherence spectroscopy. While Cinn-GEE alone showed a single cross-peak at delta 9.64 ((1)H) and delta 201 ((13)C), the PTP1B/Cinn-GEE complex showed three distinct cross-peaks at delta 7.6-7.8 ((1)H) and 130-137 ((13)C). Mutation of the catalytic cysteine (Cys-215 in PTP1B) into alanine had no effect on the cross-peaks, whereas mutation of a conserved active-site arginine (Arg-221 in PTP1B) to alanine abolished all three cross-peaks. Similar experiments with Cinn-GEE that had been labeled with (13)C at the benzylic position revealed a change in the hybridization state (from sp(2) to sp(3)) for the benzylic carbon as a result of binding to PTP1B. These results rule out the possibility of a free aldehyde, aldehyde hydrate, or hemithioacetal as the enzyme-bound inhibitor form. Instead, the data are consistent with the formation of an enamine between the aldehyde group of the inhibitor and the guanidine group of Arg-221 in the PTP1B active site. These aldehydes may provide a general core structure that can be further developed into highly potent and specific PTP inhibitors. 相似文献

Molecular basis for the dephosphorylation of the activation segment of the insulin receptor by protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B 总被引:6,自引:0,他引:6
The protein tyrosine phosphatase PTP1B is responsible for negatively regulating insulin signaling by dephosphorylating the phosphotyrosine residues of the insulin receptor kinase (IRK) activation segment. Here, by integrating crystallographic, kinetic, and PTP1B peptide binding studies, we define the molecular specificity of this reaction. Extensive interactions are formed between PTP1B and the IRK sequence encompassing the tandem pTyr residues at 1162 and 1163 such that pTyr-1162 is selected at the catalytic site and pTyr-1163 is located within an adjacent pTyr recognition site. This selectivity is attributed to the 70-fold greater affinity for tandem pTyr-containing peptides relative to mono-pTyr peptides and predicts a hierarchical dephosphorylation process. Many elements of the PTP1B-IRK interaction are unique to PTP1B, indicating that it may be feasible to generate specific, small molecule inhibitors of this interaction to treat diabetes and obesity. 相似文献

Allele-specific enzyme inhibitors are powerful tools in chemical biology. However, few general approaches for the discovery of such inhibitors have been described. Herein is reported a method for the sensitization of protein tyrosine phosphatases (PTPs) to small-molecule inhibition. It is shown that mutation of an active-site isoleucine to alanine (I219A) sensitizes PTP1B to inhibition by a class of thiophene-based inhibitors. This sensitization strategy succeeds for both 'orthogonal' inhibitors, designed to be incompatible with wild-type PTP active sites, and previously optimized wild-type PTP inhibitors. The finding that the I219A mutation sensitizes phosphatase domains to a variety of compounds suggests that isoleucine 219 may act as a 'gatekeeper' residue that can be widely exploited for the chemical-genetic analysis of PTP function. 相似文献

Protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B (PTP1B) acts as a negative regulator of insulin and leptin signalling and is crucially involved in the development of type 2 diabetes mellitus, obesity, cancer and neurodegenerative diseases. Pursuing our efforts to identify PTP1B inhibitors endowed with drug-like properties, we designed and evaluated 3-aryl-5-arylidene-2-thioxo-4-imidazolidinones (7) as a novel class of non-carboxylate PTP1B inhibitors. In agreement with our design, kinetic studies demonstrated that selected compounds 7 act as reversible, non-competitive inhibitors of the target enzyme at low micromolar concentrations. Accordingly, molecular docking experiments suggested that these inhibitors can fit an allosteric site of PTP1B that we previously individuated. Moreover, cellular assays demonstrated that compound 7e acts as a potent insulin-sensitizing agent in human liver HepG2 cells. Taken together, our results showed that these non-competitive PTP1B inhibitors can be considered promising lead compounds aimed to enhance druggability of the target enzyme and identify novel antidiabetic drugs. 相似文献

Protein-tyrosine phosphatase 1B (PTP1B) is a key negative regulator of insulin and leptin signaling and a novel therapeutic target for the treatment of type 2 diabetes, obesity, and other associated metabolic syndromes. Because PTP1B regulates multiple signal pathways and it can both enhance and antagonize a cellular event, it is important to establish the physiological relevance of PTP1B in these processes. In this study, we utilize potent and selective PTP1B inhibitors to delineate the role of PTP1B in integrin signaling. We show that down-regulation of PTP1B activity with small molecule inhibitors suppresses cell spreading and migration to fibronectin, increases Tyr(527) phosphorylation in Src, and decreases phosphorylation of FAK, p130(Cas), and ERK1/2. In addition, PTP1B "substrate-trapping" mutants bind Tyr(527)-phosphorylated Src and protect it from dephosphorylation by endogenous PTP1B. These results establish that PTP1B promotes integrin-mediated responses in fibroblasts by dephosphorylating the inhibitory pTyr(527) and thereby activating the Src kinase. We also show that PTP1B forms a complex with Src and p130(Cas), and that the proline-rich motif PPRPPK (residues 309-314) in PTP1B is essential for the complex formation. We suggest that the specificity of PTP1B for Src pTyr(527) is mediated by protein-protein interactions involving the docking protein p130(Cas) with both Src and PTP1B in addition to the interactions between the PTP1B active site and the pTyr(527) motif. 相似文献

Protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B (PTP1B) is a member of the PTP superfamily which is considered to be a negative regulator of insulin receptor (IR) signaling pathway. PTP1B is a promising drug target for the treatment of type 2 diabetes, obesity, and cancer. The existence of allosteric site in PTP1B has turned the researcher’s attention to an alternate strategy for inhibition of this enzyme. Herein, the molecular interactions between the allosteric site of PTP1B with three non-competitive flavonoids, (MOR), (MOK), and (DPO) have been investigated. Three ligands were docked into allosteric site of the enzyme. The resulting protein–ligand complexes were used for molecular dynamics studies. Principal component and free-energy landscape (FEL) as well as cluster analyses were used to investigate the conformational and dynamical properties of the protein and identify representative enzyme substrates bounded to the inhibitors. Per residue energy decomposition analysis attributed dissimilar affinities of three inhibitors to the several hydrogen bonds and non-bonded interactions. In conclusion, our results exhibited an inhibitory pattern of the ligands against PTP1B. 相似文献

Protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B is a negative regulator in the insulin and leptin signaling pathways, and has emerged as an attractive target for the treatment of type 2 diabetes and obesity. However, the essential pharmacophore of charged phosphotyrosine or its mimetic confer low selectivity and poor cell permeability. Starting from our previously reported aryl diketoacid-based PTP1B inhibitors, a drug-like scaffold of 4-quinolone-3-carboxylic acid was introduced for the first time as a novel surrogate of phosphotyrosine. An optimal combination of hydrophobic groups installed at C-6, N-1 and C-3 positions of the quinolone motif afforded potent PTP1B inhibitors with low micromolar IC50 values. These 4-quinolone-3-carboxylate based PTP1B inhibitors displayed a 2–10 fold selectivity over a panel of PTP’s. Furthermore, the bidentate inhibitors of 4-quinolone-3-carboxylic acids conjugated with aryl diketoacid or salicylic acid were cell permeable and enhanced insulin signaling in CHO/hIR cells. The kinetic studies and molecular modeling suggest that the 4-quinolone-3-carboxylates act as competitive inhibitors by binding to the PTP1B active site in the WPD loop closed conformation. Taken together, our study shows that the 4-quinolone-3-carboxylic acid derivatives exhibit improved pharmacological properties over previously described PTB1B inhibitors and warrant further preclinical studies. 相似文献

The structure-based design and discovery of the isothiazolidinone (IZD) heterocycle as a mimic of phosphotyrosine (pTyr) has led to the identification of novel IZD-containing inhibitors of protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B (PTP1B). The structure-activity relationships (SARs) of peptidic IZD-containing inhibitors of PTP1B are described along with a novel synthesis of the aryl-IZD fragments via a Suzuki coupling. The SAR revealed the saturated IZD heterocycle (42) is the most potent heterocyclic pTyr mimetic compared to the unsaturated IZD (25), the thiadiazolidinone (TDZ) (38), and the regioisomeric unsaturated IZD (31). The X-ray crystal structures of 11c and 25 complexed with PTP1B were solved and revealed nearly identical binding interactions in the active site. Ab initio calculations effectively explain the strong binding of the (S)-IZD due to the preorganized binding of the IZD in its low energy conformation. 相似文献

Two series of 1,3-diphenyl-1H-pyrazole derivatives containing rhodanine-3-alkanoic acid groups were identified as competitive protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B (PTP1B) inhibitors. Among the compounds studied, IIIv was found to have the best in vitro inhibition activity against PTP1B (IC50?=?0.67?±?0.09?µM) and the best selectivity (9-fold) between PTP1B and T-cell protein tyrosine phosphatase (TCPTP). Molecular docking studies demonstrated that compounds IIIm, IIIv and IVg could occupy simultaneously at both the catalytic site and the adjacent pTyr binding site. These results provide novel lead compounds for the design of inhibitors of PTP1B as well as other PTPs. 相似文献

AbstractProtein tyrosine phosphatase 1B (PTP1B), a key negative regulator in insulin signaling pathways, is regarded as a potential target for the treatment of type II diabetes and obesity. However, the mechanism underlying the selectivity of PTP1B inhibitors against T-cell protein tyrosine phosphatase (TCPTP) remains controversial, which is due to the high similarity between PTP1B and TCPTP sequence and the fact that no ligand–protein complex of TCPTP has been established yet. Here, the accelerated molecular dynamics (aMD) method was used to investigate the structural dynamics of PTP1B and TCPTP that are bound by two chemically similar inhibitors with distinct selectivity. The conformational transitions during the “open” to “close” states of four complexes were captured, and free energy profiles of important residue pairs were analyzed in detail. Additional MM-PBSA calculations confirmed that the binding free energies of final states were consistent with the experimental results, and the energetic contributions of important residues were further investigated by alanine scanning mutagenesis. By comparing the four complexes, the different conformational behavior of WPD-loop, R-loop, and the second pTyr binding site induced by inhibitors were featured and found to be crucial for the selectivity of inhibitors. This study provides new mechanistic insights of specific binding of inhibitors to PTP1B and TCPTP, which can be exploited to the further structural-based inhibitor design.Communicated by Ramaswamy H.

Protein tyrosine phosphatases (PTPs) are important regulators of signal transduction pathways. Potent and selective PTP inhibitors are useful for probing these pathways and also may serve as drugs for the treatment of a variety of diseases including type 2 diabetes and infection by the bacterium Yersinia pestis. In this report Cu(I)-catalyzed 'click' cycloaddition reactions between azides and alkynes were employed to generate two sequential libraries of PTP inhibitors. In the first round library methyl 4-azidobenzoylformate was reacted with 56 mono- and diynes. After hydrolysis of the methyl esters, the resulting alpha-ketocarboxylic acids were assayed in crude form against the Yersinia PTP and PTP1B. Four compounds were selected for further evaluation, and one compound was chosen as the lead for generation of the second round library. This lead compound was modified by conversion of an alcohol into an azide group, and the resulting azide was reacted with the same 56 mono- and diynes that were used in the first generation library. After screening the crude inhibitors against the Yersinia PTP and PTP1B, four compounds were selected and evaluated in pure form against the Yersinia PTP, PTP1B, TCPTP, LAR, and CD45. The best bis(alpha-ketocarboxylic acid) inhibitor 34 had an IC(50) value of 550nM against the Yersinia PTP and an IC(50) value of 710nM against TCPTP. The most potent inhibitor containing a single alpha-ketocarboxylic acid group 32 had IC(50) values of 2.1, 5.7, and 2.6 microM against the Yersinia PTP, PTP1B, and TCPTP, respectively. 相似文献
