The 3-phosphoinositide-dependent protein kinase-1 (PDK1) phosphorylates and activates a number of protein kinases of the AGC subfamily. The kinase domain of PDK1 interacts with a region of protein kinase C-related kinase-2 (PRK2), termed the PDK1-interacting fragment (PIF), through a hydrophobic motif. Here we identify a hydrophobic pocket in the small lobe of the PDK1 kinase domain, separate from the ATP- and substrate-binding sites, that interacts with PIF. Mutation of residues predicted to form part of this hydrophobic pocket either abolished or significantly diminished the affinity of PDK1 for PIF. PIF increased the rate at which PDK1 phosphorylated a synthetic dodecapeptide (T308tide), corresponding to the sequences surrounding the PDK1 phosphorylation site of PKB. This peptide is a poor substrate for PDK1, but a peptide comprising T308tide fused to the PDK1-binding motif of PIF was a vastly superior substrate for PDK1. Our results suggest that the PIF-binding pocket on the kinase domain of PDK1 acts as a 'docking site', enabling it to interact with and enhance the phosphorylation of its substrates. 相似文献

Leukocyte migration is controlled by a leading-edge chemosensory pathway that generates the regulatory lipid phosphatidylinositol-3,4,5-trisphosphate (PIP3), a growth signal, thereby driving leading-edge expansion up attractant gradients toward sites of infection, inflammation, or tissue damage. PIP3 also serves as an important growth signal in growing cells and oncogenesis. The kinases PDK1, AKT1 or PKB, and PKCα are key components of a plasma-membrane-based PIP3 and Ca2+ signaling circuit that regulates these processes. PDK1 and AKT1 are recruited to the membrane by PIP3, whereas PKCα is recruited to the membrane by Ca2+. All three of these master kinases phosphoregulate an array of protein targets. For example, PDK1 activates AKT1, PKCα, and other AGC kinases by phosphorylation at key sites. PDK1 is believed to form PDK1-AKT1 and PDK1-PKCα heterodimers stabilized by a PDK1-interacting fragment (PIF) interaction between the PDK1 PIF pocket and the PIF motif of the AGC binding partner. Here, we present the first, to our knowledge, single-molecule studies of full-length PDK1 and AKT1 on target membrane surfaces, as well as their interaction with full-length PKCα. These studies directly detect membrane-bound PDK1-AKT1 and PDK1-PKCα heterodimers stabilized by PIF interactions formed at physiological ligand concentrations. PKCα exhibits eightfold higher PDK1 affinity than AKT1 and can competitively displace AKT1 from PDK1-AKT1 heterodimers. Ensemble activity measurements under matched conditions reveal that PDK1 activates AKT1 via a cis mechanism by phosphorylating an AKT1 molecule in the same PDK1-AKT1 heterodimer, whereas PKCα acts as a competitive inhibitor of this phosphoactivation reaction by displacing AKT1 from PDK1. Overall, the findings provide insights into the binding and regulatory interactions of the three master kinases on their target membrane and suggest that a recently described tumor suppressor activity of PKC isoforms may arise from its ability to downregulate PDK1-AKT1 phosphoactivation in the PIP3-PDK1-AKT1-mTOR pathway linked to cell growth and oncogenesis. 相似文献

Phosphorylation on the activation loop of AGC kinases is typically mediated by PDK1. The precise mechanism for this in‐trans phosphorylation is unknown; however, docking of a hydrophobic (HF) motif in the C‐tail of the substrate kinase onto the N‐lobe of PDK1 is likely an essential step. Using a peptide array of PKA to identify other PDK1‐interacting sites, we discovered a second AGC‐conserved motif in the C‐tail that interacts with PDK1. Since this motif [FD(X)1‐2Y/F] lies in the active site tether region and in PKA contributes to ATP binding, we call it the Adenosine binding (Ade) motif. The Ade motif is conserved as a PDK1‐interacting site in Akt and PRK2, and we predict it will be a PDK1‐interacting site for most AGC kinases. In PKA, the HF motif is only recognized when the turn motif Ser338 is phosphorylated, possibly serving as a phosphorylation “switch” that regulates how the Ade and HF motifs interact with PDK1. These results demonstrate that the extended AGC C‐tail serves as a polyvalent element that trans‐regulates PDK1 for catalysis. Modeling of the PKA C‐tail onto PDK1 structure creates two chimeric sites; the ATP binding pocket, which is completed by the Ade motif, and the C‐helix, which is positioned by the HF motif. Together, they demonstrate substrate‐assisted catalysis involving two kinases that have co‐evolved as symbiotic partners. The highly regulated turn motifs are the most variable part of the AGC C‐tail. Elucidating the highly regulated cis and trans functions of the AGC tail is a significant future challenge. 相似文献

The phosphoinositide 3-kinase/AKT signaling pathway plays a key role in cancer cell growth, survival, and angiogenesis. Phosphoinositide-dependent protein kinase-1 (PDK1) acts at a focal point in this pathway immediately downstream of phosphoinositide 3-kinase and PTEN, where it phosphorylates numerous AGC kinases. The PDK1 kinase domain has at least three ligand-binding sites: the ATP-binding pocket, the peptide substrate-binding site, and a groove in the N-terminal lobe that binds the C-terminal hydrophobic motif of its kinase substrates. Based on the unique PDK1 substrate recognition system, ultrahigh throughput TR-FRET and Alphascreen® screening assays were developed using a biotinylated version of the PDK1-tide substrate containing the activation loop of AKT fused to a pseudo-activated hydrophobic motif peptide. Using full-length PDK1, Km values were determined as 5.6 μm for ATP and 40 nm for the fusion peptide, revealing 50-fold higher affinity compared with the classical AKT(Thr-308)-tide. Kinetic and biophysical studies confirmed the PDK1 catalytic mechanism as a rapid equilibrium random bireactant reaction. Following an ultrahigh throughput screen of a large library, 2,000 compounds were selected from the reconfirmed hits by computational analysis with a focus on novel scaffolds. ATP-competitive hits were deconvoluted by dose-response studies at 1× and 10× Km concentrations of ATP, and specificity of binding was assessed in thermal shift assay. Inhibition studies using fusion PDK1-tide1 substrate versus AKT(Thr-308)-tide and kinase selectivity profiling revealed a novel selective alkaloid scaffold that evidently binds to the PDK1-interacting fragment pocket. Molecular modeling suggests a structural paradigm for the design of inhibitory versus activating allosteric ligands of PDK1. 相似文献

Phosphoinositide-dependent kinase-1 (PDK1) mediates activation of many AGC kinases by docking onto a phosphorylated hydrophobic motif located C-terminal of the catalytic domain in the AGC kinase. The interaction shifts PDK1 into a conformation with increased catalytic activity and leads to autophosphorylation of PDK1. We demonstrate here that addition of a hydrophobic motif peptide increases the catalytic activity of PDK1 orthologues from Homo sapiens, Aplysia californica, Arabidopsis thaliana, Schizosaccharomyces pombe (ksg1), and Saccharomyces cerevisiae (Pkh1 and Pkh2) 2- to 12-fold. Furthermore, the hydrophobic motif peptide increases autophosphorylation of PDK1 from Homo sapiens, S. pombe, and S. cerevisiae (Phk2). Our results suggest that PDK1 interaction and activation by the hydrophobic motif of AGC kinases is a central mechanism in PDK1 function, which is conserved during eukaryotic evolution. 相似文献

3-phosphoinositide dependent protein kinase-1 (PDK1) plays a key role in regulating signalling pathways by activating AGC kinases such as PKB/Akt and S6K. Here we describe the 2.0 A crystal structure of the PDK1 kinase domain in complex with ATP. The structure defines the hydrophobic pocket termed the "PIF-pocket", which plays a key role in mediating the interaction and phosphorylation of certain substrates such as S6K1. Phosphorylation of S6K1 at its C-terminal PIF-pocket-interacting motif promotes the binding of S6K1 with PDK1. In the PDK1 structure, this pocket is occupied by a crystallographic contact with another molecule of PDK1. Interestingly, close to the PIF-pocket in PDK1, there is an ordered sulfate ion, interacting tightly with four surrounding side chains. The roles of these residues were investigated through a combination of site-directed mutagenesis and kinetic studies, the results of which confirm that this region of PDK1 represents a phosphate-dependent docking site. We discuss the possibility that an analogous phosphate-binding regulatory motif may participate in the activation of other AGC kinases. Furthermore, the structure of PDK1 provides a scaffold for the design of specific PDK1 inhibitors. 相似文献

Organisms rely heavily on protein phosphorylation to transduce intracellular signals. The phosphorylation of a protein often induces conformational changes, which are responsible for triggering downstream cellular events. Protein kinases are themselves frequently regulated by phosphorylation. Recently, we and others proposed the molecular mechanism by which phosphorylation at a hydrophobic motif (HM) regulates the conformation and activity of many members of the AGC group of protein kinases. Here we have developed specific, low molecular weight compounds, which target the HM/PIF-pocket and have the ability to allosterically activate phosphoinositide-dependent protein kinase 1 (PDK1) by modulating the phosphorylation-dependent conformational transition. The mechanism of action of these compounds was characterized by mutagenesis of PDK1, synthesis of compound analogs, interaction-displacement studies and isothermal titration calorimetry experiments. Our results raise the possibility of developing drugs that target the AGC kinases via a novel mode of action and may inspire future rational development of compounds with the ability to modulate phosphorylation-dependent conformational transitions in other proteins. 相似文献

BACKGROUND: Protein kinase B (PKB) is activated by phosphorylation of Thr308 and of Ser473. Thr308 is phosphorylated by the 3-phosphoinositide-dependent protein kinase-1 (PDK1) but the identity of the kinase that phosphorylates Ser473 (provisionally termed PDK2) is unknown. RESULTS: The kinase domain of PDK1 interacts with a region of protein kinase C-related kinase-2 (PRK2), termed the PDK1-interacting fragment (PIF). PIF is situated carboxy-terminal to the kinase domain of PRK2, and contains a consensus motif for phosphorylation by PDK2 similar to that found in PKBalpha, except that the residue equivalent to Ser473 is aspartic acid. Mutation of any of the conserved residues in the PDK2 motif of PIF prevented interaction of PIF with PDK1. Remarkably, interaction of PDK1 with PIF, or with a synthetic peptide encompassing the PDK2 consensus sequence of PIF, converted PDK1 from an enzyme that could phosphorylate only Thr308 of PKBalpha to one that phosphorylates both Thr308 and Ser473 of PKBalpha in a manner dependent on phosphatidylinositol (3,4,5) trisphosphate (PtdIns(3,4,5)P3). Furthermore, the interaction of PIF with PDK1 converted the PDK1 from a form that is not directly activated by PtdIns(3,4,5)P3 to a form that is activated threefold by PtdIns(3,4,5)P3. We have partially purified a kinase from brain extract that phosphorylates Ser473 of PKBalpha in a PtdIns(3,4,5)P3-dependent manner and that is immunoprecipitated with PDK1 antibodies. CONCLUSIONS: PDK1 and PDK2 might be the same enzyme, the substrate specificity and activity of PDK1 being regulated through its interaction with another protein(s). PRK2 is a probable substrate for PDK1. 相似文献

3-Phosphoinositide-dependent protein kinase-1 (PDK1) mediates phosphorylation and activation of members of the AGC protein kinase family and plays an essential role in insulin signaling and action. However, whether and how PDK1 activity is regulated in cells remains largely uncharacterized. In the present study, we show that PDK1 undergoes insulin-stimulated and phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase-dependent phosphorylation at Ser244 in the activation loop and at a novel site: Ser163 in the hinge region between the two lobes of the kinase domain. Sequence alignment studies revealed that the residue corresponding to Ser163 of PDK1 in all other AGC kinases is glutamate, suggesting that a negative charge at this site may be important for PDK1 function. Replacing Ser163 with a negatively charged residue, glutamate, led to a 2-fold increase in PDK1 activity. Molecular modeling studies suggested that phosphorylated Ser163 may form additional hydrogen bonds with Tyr149 and Gln223. In support of this, mutation of Tyr149 to Ala is sufficient to reduce PDK1 activity. Taken together, our results suggest that PDK1 phosphorylation of Ser163 may provide a mechanism to fine-tune PDK1 activity and function in cells. 相似文献

The growth factor-activated AGC protein kinases RSK, S6K, PKB, MSK and SGK are activated by serine/threonine phosphorylation in the activation loop and in the hydrophobic motif, C-terminal to the kinase domain. In some of these kinases, phosphorylation of the hydrophobic motif creates a specific docking site that recruits and activates PDK1, which then phosphorylates the activation loop. Here, we discover a pocket in the kinase domain of PDK1 that recognizes the phosphoserine/phosphothreonine in the hydrophobic motif by identifying two oppositely positioned arginine and lysine residues that bind the phosphate. Moreover, we demonstrate that RSK2, S6K1, PKBalpha, MSK1 and SGK1 contain a similar phosphate-binding pocket, which they use for intramolecular interaction with their own phosphorylated hydrophobic motif. Molecular modelling and experimental data provide evidence for a common activation mechanism in which the phosphorylated hydrophobic motif and activation loop act on the alphaC-helix of the kinase structure to induce synergistic stimulation of catalytic activity. Sequence conservation suggests that this mechanism is a key feature in activation of >40 human AGC kinases. 相似文献

The members of the AGC kinase family frequently exhibit three conserved phosphorylation sites: the activation loop, the hydrophobic motif (HM), and the zipper (Z)/turn-motif (TM) phosphorylation site. 3-Phosphoinositide-dependent protein kinase 1 (PDK1) phosphorylates the activation loop of numerous AGC kinases, including the protein kinase C-related protein kinases (PRKs). Here we studied the docking interaction between PDK1 and PRK2 and analyzed the mechanisms that regulate this interaction. In vivo labeling of recombinant PRK2 by 32Pi revealed phosphorylation at two sites, the activation loop and the Z/TM in the C-terminal extension. We provide evidence that phosphorylation of the Z/TM site of PRK2 inhibits its interaction with PDK1. Our studies further provide a mechanistic model to explain different steps in the docking interaction and regulation. Interestingly, we found that the mechanism that negatively regulates the docking interaction of PRK2 to the upstream kinase PDK1 is directly linked to the activation mechanism of PRK2 itself. Finally, our results indicate that the mechanisms underlying the regulation of the interaction between PRK2 and PDK1 are specific for PRK2 and do not apply for other AGC kinases.The regulation of protein function by phosphorylation and dephosphorylation is a key mechanism of intracellular signaling pathways in eukaryotic organisms. Protein phosphorylation is catalyzed by protein kinases, which are themselves often regulated by phosphorylation (1). The specificity of protein kinases is essential for their cellular functions. In some groups of protein kinases, the specificity is achieved by means of “docking interactions.” Protein kinase docking interactions involve a recognition site on the kinase or a flanking domain that is different from the active site. The most notable example, MAP kinases, uses a docking interaction to specifically recognize substrates, upstream kinases, and phosphatases. Despite the large amount of data on protein kinase docking interactions, e.g. in the MAP kinase field, there is very little information on how these essential interactions are regulated (2–4).3-Phosphoinositide-dependent protein kinase 1 (PDK1)3 belongs to the AGC family of protein kinases and is the activation loop kinase for several other AGC kinases (5). A key feature of the AGC kinase family members except PDK1 is the presence of a C-terminal extension (CT) to the catalytic core that contains a conserved hydrophobic motif (HM) harboring a phosphorylation site. In many AGC kinases, the HM mediates a docking interaction with PDK1. For example, p90 ribosomal S6 kinase (RSK), p70 S6 kinase (S6K) and serum- and glucocorticoid-induced protein kinase (SGK) interact with PDK1 upon phosphorylation of the HM site (6–9). The phosphorylated HM binds to a HM-binding pocket in the catalytic core of PDK1 that was originally termed the PIF-binding pocket (6, 10).Besides its role in the docking of substrates to PDK1, the HM/PIF-binding pocket was also identified as a ubiquitous and key regulatory site in likely all AGC kinases (7, 11). Thus, in AGC kinases studied up to now, the HM/PIF-binding pocket serves as an intramolecular docking site for the phosphorylated HM. In summary, the HM has a dual function in AGC kinase activation, (i) mediating the intermolecular interaction with PDK1 and (ii) acting as an intramolecular allosteric activator that stabilizes the active conformation of the kinase domain via binding to the HM/PIF-binding pocket.The CT of AGC kinases additionally contains a second regulatory phosphorylation site traditionally termed the “turn motif” (TM), and more recently the zipper (Z) site. The Z/TM phosphate interacts with a binding site within the kinase domain, acting like a zipper which serves to support the intramolecular binding of the phosphorylated HM to the HM/PIF-binding pocket (12). Hence, AGC kinases are synergistically activated by phosphorylation at the activation loop, the HM, and the Z/TM sites.Protein kinase C-related protein kinases (PRKs) (13) (also named PAK for protease-activated kinase (14–16) and PKN for protein kinase N (17)) represent a subfamily of AGC kinases. So far, three PRK isoforms were identified, PRK1, PRK2, and PKN3, which are effectors of the small GTP-binding protein Rho. PRKs, as well as the Rho-associated kinases (ROCKs), are considered to be the protein kinases that mediate the phosphorylation events downstream of Rho activation and both can be inhibited by the highly specific protein kinase inhibitor Y27632 (18). The most notable role described for PRK2 is the control of entry into mitosis and exit from cytokinesis (19). In addition, PRK2 phosphorylates the hepatitis C virus (HCV) RNA polymerase (20). In support of a function in HCV RNA replication, PRK2 inhibitors like Y27632 suppress HCV replication (21).The N-terminal region of PRK2 possesses three Rho effector (HR1) domains (13), a pseudosubstrate region that is thought to have an autoinhibitory function (22) and a C2-like domain, which is a potential binding site for lipid activators. The C-terminal region of PRK2 harbors the HM that mediates the docking interaction with the HM/PIF-binding pocket in its upstream kinase PDK1 (10, 23). Interestingly, PRKs and also atypical protein kinase Cs (PKCs, PKCζ, and PKCι/λ), contain an acidic residue instead of a phosphorylatable amino acid at the site equivalent to the HM phosphorylation site in other AGC kinases. Therefore, the molecular events that regulate the interaction of PRK2 and PKCζ with PDK1 must be different from the mechanism characterized for S6K, SGK, and RSK.In the present work we extended and refined the model of docking interaction between PRK2 and PDK1 and characterized C-terminal regions of PRK2 that participate in the regulation of this interaction. The work sheds light on the common as well as specific mechanisms that operate in the regulation of PDK1 docking interaction with its different substrates. 相似文献

3-Phosphoinositide-dependent protein kinase-1 (PDK1) phosphorylates the T-loop of several AGC (cAMP-dependent, cGMP-dependent, protein kinase C) family protein kinases, resulting in their activation. Previous structural studies have revealed that the alpha C-helix, located in the small lobe of the kinase domain of PDK1, is a key regulatory element, as it links a substrate interacting site termed the hydrophobic motif (HM) pocket with the phosphorylated Ser-241 in the T-loop. In this study we have demonstrated by mutational analysis that interactions between the phosphorylated Ser-241 and the alpha C-helix are not required for PDK1 activity or substrate binding through the HM-pocket but are necessary for PDK1 to be activated or stabilized by a peptide that binds to this site. The structure of an inactive T-loop mutant of PDK1, in which Ser-241 is changed to Ala, was also determined. This structure, together with surface plasmon resonance binding studies, demonstrates that the PDK1(S241A)-inactive mutant possesses an intact HM-pocket as well as an ordered alpha C-helix. These findings reveal that the integrity of the alpha C-helix and HM-pocket in PDK1 is not regulated by T-loop phosphorylation. 相似文献

3-phosphoinositide-dependent kinase-1 (PDK1) phosphorylates and activates several kinases in the cAMP-dependent, cGMP-dependent and protein kinase C (AGC) family. Many putative PDK1 substrates have been identified, but have not been analyzed following transient and specific inhibition of PDK1 activity. Here, we demonstrate that a previously characterized PDK1 inhibitor, BX-795, shows biological effects that are not consistent with PDK1 inhibition. Therefore, we describe the creation and characterization of a PDK1 mutant, L159G, which can bind inhibitor analogues containing bulky groups that hinder access to the ATP binding pocket of wild type (WT) kinases. When expressed in PDK1(-/-) ES cells, PDK1 L159G restored phosphorylation of PDK1 targets known to be hypophosphorylated in these cells. Screening of multiple inhibitor analogues showed that 1-NM-PP1 and 3,4-DMB-PP1 optimally inhibited the phosphorylation of PDK1 targets in PDK1(-/-) ES cells expressing PDK1 L159G but not WT PDK1. These compounds confirmed previously assumed PDK1 substrates, but revealed distinct dephosphorylation kinetics. While PDK1 inhibition had little effect on cell growth, it sensitized cells to apoptotic stimuli. Furthermore, PDK1 loss abolished growth of allograft tumors. Taken together we describe a model system that allows for acute and reversible inhibition of PDK1 in cells, to probe biochemical and biological consequences. 相似文献

Evidence that 3-phosphoinositide-dependent protein kinase-1 mediates phosphorylation of p70 S6 kinase in vivo at Thr-412 as well as Thr-252 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

Protein kinase B and p70 S6 kinase are members of the cyclic AMP-dependent/cyclic GMP-dependent/protein kinase C subfamily of protein kinases and are activated by a phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase-dependent pathway when cells are stimulated with insulin or growth factors. Both of these kinases are activated in cells by phosphorylation of a conserved residue in the kinase domain (Thr-308 of protein kinase B (PKB) and Thr-252 of p70 S6 kinase) and another conserved residue located C-terminal to the kinase domain (Ser-473 of PKB and Thr-412 of p70 S6 kinase). Thr-308 of PKBalpha and Thr-252 of p70 S6 kinase are phosphorylated by 3-phosphoinositide-dependent protein kinase-1 (PDK1) in vitro. Recent work has shown that PDK1 interacts with a region of protein kinase C-related kinase-2, termed the PDK1 interacting fragment (PIF). Interaction with PIF converts PDK1 from a form that phosphorylates PKB at Thr-308 alone to a species capable of phosphorylating Ser-473 as well as Thr-308. This suggests that PDK1 may be the enzyme that phosphorylates both residues in vivo. Here we demonstrate that PDK1 is capable of phosphorylating p70 S6 kinase at Thr-412 in vitro. We study the effect of PIF on the ability of PDK1 to phosphorylate p70 S6 kinase. Surprisingly, we find that PDK1 bound to PIF is no longer able to interact with or phosphorylate p70 S6 kinase in vitro at either Thr-252 or Thr-412. The expression of PIF in cells prevents insulin-like growth factor 1 from inducing the activation of the p70 S6 kinase and its phosphorylation at Thr-412. Overexpression of PDK1 in cells induces the phosphorylation of p70 S6 kinase at Thr-412 in unstimulated cells, and a catalytically inactive mutant of PDK1 prevents the phosphorylation of p70 S6K at Thr-412 in insulin-like growth factor 1-stimulated cells. These observations indicate that PDK1 regulates the activation of p70 S6 kinase and provides evidence that PDK1 mediates the phosphorylation of p70 S6 kinase at Thr-412. 相似文献

The serine/threonine protein kinase 3-phosphoinositide-dependent protein kinase 1 (PDK1) is a highly conserved eukaryotic kinase that is a central regulator of many AGC kinase subfamily members. Through its regulation of AGC kinases, PDK1 controls many basic cellular processes, from translation to cell survival. While many of these PDK1-regulated processes are conserved across kingdoms, it is not well understood how PDK1 may have evolved within kingdoms. In order to better understand PDK1 evolution within plants, we have isolated and characterized the PDK1 gene from the moss Physcomitrella patens (PpPDK1), a nonvascular representative of early land plants. PpPDK1 is similar to other plant PDK1s in that it can functionally complement a yeast PDK1 knockout line. However, unlike PDK1 from other plants, the P. patens PDK1 protein does not bind phospholipids due to a lack of the lipid-binding pleckstrin homology domain, which is used for lipid-mediated regulation of PDK1 activity. Sequence analysis of several PDK1 proteins suggests that lipid regulation of PDK1 may not commonly occur in algae and nonvascular land plants. PpPDK1 can phosphorylate AGC kinase substrates from tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) and P. patens at the predicted PDK1 phosphorylation site, indicating that the PpPDK1 substrate phosphorylation site is conserved with higher plants. We have also identified residues within the PpPDK1 kinase domain that affect kinase activity and show that a mutant with highly reduced kinase activity can still confer cell viability in both yeast and P. patens. These studies lay the foundation for further analysis of the evolution of PDK1 within plants. 相似文献

PDK1 is an important regulator of the PI3K/Akt pathway, which has been found frequently activated in a large number of human cancers. Herein we described the preparation of novel substituted 3-anilino-quinolin-2(1H)-ones as PDK1 inhibitors. The synthesis is based around a Buchwald–Hartwig cross-coupling of various 3-bromo-6-substituted-quinolin-2(1H)-ones with three different functionalised anilines. The modular nature of the designed synthesis allowed access to a series of novel inhibitors through derivatisation of a late-stage intermediate. All compounds were screened against isolated PDK1 enzyme, with modest inhibition observed. 相似文献

The Na(+)/H(+) exchanger regulatory factor 2 (NHERF2/TKA-1/E3KARP) contains two PSD-95/Dlg/ZO-1 (PDZ) domains which interact with the PDZ docking motif (X-(S/T)-X-(V/L)) of proteins to mediate the assembly of transmembrane and cytosolic proteins into functional signal transduction complexes. One of the PDZ domains of NHERF2 interacts specifically with the DSLL, DSFL, and DTRL motifs present at the carboxy-termini of the 2-adrenergic receptor, the platelet-derived growth factor receptor, and the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator, respectively. Serum- and glucocorticoid-induced protein kinase 1 (SGK1) also carries a putative PDZ-binding motif (D-S-F-L) at its carboxy tail, implicated in the specific interaction with NHERF2. There is a 3-phosphoinositide-dependent protein kinase 1 (PDK1) interacting fragment (PIF) in the tail of NHERF2. Using pull-down assays and co-transfection experiments, we demonstrated that the DSFL tail of SGK1 interacts with the first PDZ domain of NHERF2 and the PIF of NHERF2 binds to the PIF-binding pocket of PDK1 to form an SGK1-NHERF2-PDK1 complex. Formation of the protein complex promoted the phosphorylation and activation of SGK1 by PDK1. Thus, it was suggested that NHERF2 mediates the activation and phosphorylation of SGK1 by PDK1 through its first PDZ domain and PIF motif, as a novel SGK1 activation mechanism. 相似文献

The role of 3-phosphoinositide-dependent protein kinase 1 in activating AGC kinases defined in embryonic stem cells 总被引:24,自引:0,他引:24

BACKGROUND: Protein kinase B (PKB), and the p70 and p90 ribosomal S6 kinases (p70 S6 kinase and p90 Rsk, respectively), are activated by phosphorylation of two residues, one in the 'T-loop' of the kinase domain and, the other, in the hydrophobic motif carboxy terminal to the kinase domain. The 3-phosphoinositide-dependent protein kinase 1 (PDK1) activates many AGC kinases in vitro by phosphorylating the T-loop residue, but whether PDK1 also phosphorylates the hydrophobic motif and whether all other AGC kinases are substrates for PDK1 is unknown. RESULTS: Mouse embryonic stem (ES) cells in which both copies of the PDK1 gene were disrupted were viable. In PDK1(-/-) ES cells, PKB, p70 S6 kinase and p90 Rsk were not activated by stimuli that induced strong activation in PDK1(+/+) cells. Other AGC kinases - namely, protein kinase A (PKA), the mitogen- and stress-activated protein kinase 1 (MSK1) and the AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) - had normal activity or were activated normally in PDK1(-/-) cells. The insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF1) induced PKB phosphorylation at its hydrophobic motif, but not at its T-loop residue, in PDK1(-/-) cells. IGF1 did not induce phosphorylation of p70 S6 kinase at its hydrophobic motif in PDK1(-/-) cells. CONCLUSIONS: PDK1 mediates activation of PKB, p70 S6 kinase and p90 Rsk in vivo, but is not rate-limiting for activation of PKA, MSK1 and AMPK. Another kinase phosphorylates PKB at its hydrophobic motif in PDK1(-/-) cells. PDK1 phosphorylates the hydrophobic motif of p70 S6 kinase either directly or by activation of another kinase. 相似文献

Members of the AGC subfamily of protein kinases including protein kinase B, p70 S6 kinase, and protein kinase C (PKC) isoforms are activated and/or stabilized by phosphorylation of two residues, one that resides in the T-loop of the kinase domain and the other that is located C-terminal to the kinase domain in a region known as the hydrophobic motif. Atypical PKC isoforms, such as PKCzeta, and the PKC-related kinases, like PRK2, are also activated by phosphorylation of their T-loop site but, instead of possessing a phosphorylatable Ser/Thr in their hydrophobic motif, contain an acidic residue. The 3-phosphoinositide-dependent protein kinase (PDK1) activates many members of the AGC subfamily of kinases in vitro, including PKCzeta and PRK2 by phosphorylating the T-loop residue. In the present study we demonstrate that the hydrophobic motifs of PKCzeta and PKCiota, as well as PRK1 and PRK2, interact with the kinase domain of PDK1. Mutation of the conserved residues of the hydrophobic motif of full-length PKCzeta, full-length PRK2, or PRK2 lacking its N-terminal regulatory domain abolishes or significantly reduces the ability of these kinases to interact with PDK1 and to become phosphorylated at their T-loop sites in vivo. Furthermore, overexpression of the hydrophobic motif of PRK2 in cells prevents the T-loop phosphorylation and thus inhibits the activation of PRK2 and PKCzeta. These findings indicate that the hydrophobic motif of PRK2 and PKCzeta acts as a "docking site" enabling the recruitment of PDK1 to these substrates. This is essential for their phosphorylation by PDK1 in cells. 相似文献

Pyruvate dehydrogenase kinases (PDKs) act as negative modulator of mitochondrial pyruvate dehydrogenase complex (PDC) and play a crucial role in the regulation of oxidative glycolysis, which recently have been considered as a potential drug target for varying types of cancer and diabetes. Herein, we describe the discovery and biological validation of novel anti-osteosarcoma therapeutics targeting PDK2. We identified 14 anti-osteosarcoma compounds from an in-house small molecule library, which were then evaluated in a PDK2 kinase inhibition assay. We found that compounds with 2-((4-oxo-6-((4-phenylpiperazin-1-yl)methyl)-4H-pyran-3-yl)oxy)acetamide moiety showed promising inhibitory potencies to PDK2. Especial for 12, which bound to PDK2 with a Kd value of 2.3 µM, and inhibited PDK2 activity with an EC50 value of 1.1 µM. In addition, 12 selectively inhibited PDK2, the selectivity indexes are 10.6, 22.0, and 60.9 for PDK2 as compared to PDK1, 2 and 4, respectively. The MTT assay suggested that 12 reduced MG-63 cancer cell proliferation with an IC50 value of 4.7 µM. All these observations indicated that 12 was a novel anti-osteosarcoma therapeutic, which deserved for further investigation. 相似文献
