The lysophosphatidylserine (LysoPS) receptor P2Y10, also known as LPS2, plays crucial roles in the regulation of immune responses and holds promise for the treatment of autoimmune diseases. Here, we report the cryoelectron microscopy (cryo-EM) structure of LysoPS-bound P2Y10 in complex with an engineered G13 heterotrimeric protein. The structure and a mutagenesis study highlight the predominant role of a comprehensive polar network in facilitating the binding and activation of the receptor by LysoPS. This interaction pattern is preserved in GPR174, but not in GPR34. Moreover, our structural study unveils the essential interactions that underlie the Gα13 engagement of P2Y10 and identifies key determinants for Gα12-vs.-Gα13-coupling selectivity, whose mutations selectively disrupt Gα12 engagement while preserving the intact coupling of Gα13. The combined structural and functional studies provide insights into the molecular mechanisms of LysoPS recognition and Gα12/13 coupling specificity.

溶血磷脂酰丝氨酸(LysoPS)受体 P2Y10 又称 LPS2,在调节免疫反应中起着至关重要的作用,有望用于治疗自身免疫性疾病。在这里,我们报告了与 LysoPS 结合的 P2Y10 与工程化 G13 杂三聚体蛋白的冷冻电镜(cryo-EM)结构。该结构和诱变研究突出表明,一个全面的极性网络在促进 LysoPS 结合和激活受体方面起着主导作用。这种相互作用模式在 GPR174 中得以保留,但在 GPR34 中却没有保留。此外,我们的结构研究揭示了 P2Y10 的 Gα13 参与的基本相互作用,并确定了 Gα12 与 Gα13 偶联选择性的关键决定因素,其突变选择性地破坏了 Gα12 的参与,同时保留了 Gα13 的完整偶联。结合结构和功能研究,我们可以深入了解 LysoPS 识别和 Gα12/13 偶联特异性的分子机制。

AIMP2-DX2 (hereafter DX2) is an oncogenic variant of aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase-interacting multifunctional protein 2 (AIMP2) that mediates tumorigenic interactions with various factors involved in cancer. Reducing the levels of DX2 can effectively inhibit tumorigenesis. We previously reported that DX2 can be degraded through Siah1-mediated ubiquitination. In this study, we identified a compound, SDL01, which enhanced the interaction between DX2 and Siah1, thereby facilitating the ubiquitin-dependent degradation of DX2. SDL01 was found to bind to the pocket surrounding the N-terminal flexible region and GST domain of DX2, causing a conformational change that stabilized its interaction with Siah1. Our findings demonstrate that protein-protein interactions (PPIs) can be modulated through chemically induced conformational changes.

AIMP2-DX2(以下简称 DX2)是氨基酰-tRNA 合成酶相互作用多功能蛋白 2(AIMP2)的致癌变体,它能介导致癌因子与多种癌症相关因子的相互作用。降低 DX2 的水平可有效抑制肿瘤发生。我们以前曾报道 DX2 可通过 Siah1 介导的泛素化降解。在这项研究中,我们发现了一种化合物 SDL01,它能增强 DX2 与 Siah1 之间的相互作用,从而促进 DX2 的泛素依赖性降解。研究发现,SDL01 能与围绕 DX2 N 端柔性区和 GST 结构域的口袋结合,导致构象变化,从而稳定了 DX2 与 Siah1 的相互作用。我们的研究结果表明,蛋白质与蛋白质之间的相互作用(PPIs)可以通过化学诱导的构象变化来调节。

Paclitaxel-resistant triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) remains one of the most challenging breast cancers to treat. Here, using an epigenetic chemical probe screen, we uncover an acquired vulnerability of paclitaxel-resistant TNBC cells to protein arginine methyltransferases (PRMTs) inhibition. Analysis of cell lines and in-house clinical samples demonstrates that resistant cells evade paclitaxel killing through stabilizing mitotic chromatin assembly. Genetic or pharmacologic inhibition of PRMT5 alters RNA splicing, particularly intron retention of aurora kinases B (AURKB), leading to a decrease in protein expression, and finally results in selective mitosis catastrophe in paclitaxel-resistant cells. In addition, type I PRMT inhibition synergies with PRMT5 inhibition in suppressing tumor growth of drug-resistant cells through augmenting perturbation of AURKB-mediated mitotic signaling pathway. These findings are fully recapitulated in a patient-derived xenograft (PDX) model generated from a paclitaxel-resistant TNBC patient, providing the rationale for targeting PRMTs in paclitaxel-resistant TNBC.

紫杉醇耐药的三阴性乳腺癌(TNBC)仍然是最难治疗的乳腺癌之一。在这里,我们利用表观遗传化学探针筛选,发现了耐紫杉醇的 TNBC 细胞对蛋白精氨酸甲基转移酶(PRMTs)抑制的后天脆弱性。对细胞系和内部临床样本的分析表明,耐药细胞通过稳定有丝分裂染色质组装来逃避紫杉醇的杀伤。遗传或药物抑制 PRMT5 会改变 RNA 剪接,特别是极光激酶 B(AURKB)的内含子保留,导致蛋白质表达减少,最终导致紫杉醇耐药细胞的选择性有丝分裂灾难。此外,I型PRMT抑制与PRMT5抑制协同作用,通过增强对AURKB介导的有丝分裂信号通路的干扰,抑制耐药细胞的肿瘤生长。这些发现在由紫杉醇耐药的 TNBC 患者生成的患者衍生异种移植(PDX)模型中得到了充分再现,为在紫杉醇耐药的 TNBC 中靶向 PRMTs 提供了理论依据。

The strong association of the human leukocyte antigen B27 alleles (HLA-B27) with spondyloarthritis and related rheumatic conditions has long fascinated researchers, yet the precise mechanisms underlying its pathogenicity remain elusive. Here, we review how interplay between the microbiome, the immune system, and the enigmatic HLA-B27 could trigger spondyloarthritis, with a focus on whether HLA-B27 presents an arthritogenic peptide. We propose mechanisms by which the unique biochemical characteristics of the HLA-B27 protein structure, particularly its peptide binding groove, could dictate its propensity to induce pathological T cell responses. We further provide new insights into how TRBV9+ CD8+ T cells are implicated in the disease process, as well as how the immunometabolism of T cells modulates tissue-specific inflammatory responses in spondyloarthritis. Finally, we present testable models and suggest approaches to this problem in future studies given recent advances in computational biology, chemical biology, structural biology, and small-molecule therapeutics.

人类白细胞抗原B∗27等位基因(HLA-B∗27)与脊柱关节炎及相关风湿病的密切关系一直令研究人员着迷,但其致病的确切机制却仍然难以捉摸。在这里,我们回顾了微生物组、免疫系统和神秘的 HLA-B∗27 之间的相互作用是如何诱发脊柱关节炎的,重点是 HLA-B∗27 是否会产生致关节炎肽。我们提出了 HLA-B∗27 蛋白结构的独特生化特性(尤其是其肽结合槽)可能决定其诱导病理 T 细胞反应倾向的机制。我们进一步提供了关于 TRBV9+ CD8+ T 细胞如何参与疾病过程以及 T 细胞的免疫代谢如何调节脊柱关节炎组织特异性炎症反应的新见解。最后,鉴于计算生物学、化学生物学、结构生物学和小分子疗法的最新进展,我们提出了可检验的模型,并建议在未来研究中解决这一问题的方法。

Heterogeneity of tethered agonist signaling in adhesion G protein-coupled receptors 粘附 G 蛋白偶联受体中系留激动剂信号的异质性
IF 6.6 1区 生物学 Q1 BIOCHEMISTRY & MOLECULAR BIOLOGY Pub Date : 2024-08-15 DOI: 10.1016/j.chembiol.2024.03.004

Adhesion G protein-coupled receptor (aGPCR) signaling influences development and homeostasis in a wide range of tissues. In the current model for aGPCR signaling, ligand binding liberates a conserved sequence that acts as an intramolecular, tethered agonist (TA), yet this model has not been evaluated systematically for all aGPCRs. Here, we assessed the TA-dependent activities of all 33 aGPCRs in a suite of transcriptional reporter, G protein activation, and β-arrestin recruitment assays using a new fusion protein platform. Strikingly, only ∼50% of aGPCRs exhibited robust TA-dependent activation, and unlike other GPCR families, aGPCRs showed a notable preference for G12/13 signaling. AlphaFold2 predictions assessing TA engagement in the predicted intramolecular binding pocket aligned with the TA dependence of the cellular responses. This dataset provides a comprehensive resource to inform the investigation of all human aGPCRs and for targeting aGPCRs therapeutically.

粘附 G 蛋白偶联受体(aGPCR)信号传导影响着多种组织的发育和稳态。在目前的 aGPCR 信号传导模型中,配体结合会释放出一个保守序列,该序列可充当分子内的系链激动剂(TA),但这一模型尚未针对所有 aGPCR 进行过系统评估。在这里,我们利用一个新的融合蛋白平台,在一系列转录报告、G 蛋白激活和 β - 逮捕素招募试验中评估了所有 33 个 aGPCR 的 TA 依赖性活性。令人吃惊的是,只有 50% 的 aGPCR 表现出强大的 TA 依赖性激活,而且与其他 GPCR 家族不同,aGPCR 对 G12/13 信号转导表现出明显的偏好。AlphaFold2 预测评估了 TA 在预测的分子内结合口袋中的参与情况,这与细胞反应的 TA 依赖性相一致。该数据集提供了一个全面的资源,为研究所有人类 aGPCRs 和治疗 aGPCRs 提供了信息。

The epigenome is a complex framework through which gene expression is precisely and flexibly modulated to incorporate heritable memory and responses to environmental stimuli. It governs diverse cellular processes, including cell fate, disease, and aging. The need to understand this system and precisely control gene expression outputs for therapeutic purposes has precipitated the development of a diverse set of epigenetic editing tools. Here, we review the existing toolbox for targeted epigenetic editing, technical considerations of the current technologies, and opportunities for future development. We describe applications of therapeutic epigenetic editing and their potential for treating disease, with a discussion of ongoing delivery challenges that impede certain clinical interventions, particularly in the brain. With simultaneous advancements in available engineering tools and appropriate delivery technologies, we predict that epigenetic editing will increasingly cement itself as a powerful approach for safely treating a wide range of disorders in all tissues of the body.

Identification of potent and reversible piperidine carboxamides that are species-selective orally active proteasome inhibitors to treat malaria 鉴定治疗疟疾的强效可逆哌啶羧酰胺类物种选择性口服活性蛋白酶体抑制剂
IF 6.6 1区 生物学 Q1 BIOCHEMISTRY & MOLECULAR BIOLOGY Pub Date : 2024-08-15 DOI: 10.1016/j.chembiol.2024.07.001

Malaria remains a global health concern as drug resistance threatens treatment programs. We identified a piperidine carboxamide (SW042) with anti-malarial activity by phenotypic screening. Selection of SW042-resistant Plasmodium falciparum (Pf) parasites revealed point mutations in the Pf_proteasome β5 active-site (Pfβ5). A potent analog (SW584) showed efficacy in a mouse model of human malaria after oral dosing. SW584 had a low propensity to generate resistance (minimum inoculum for resistance [MIR] >109) and was synergistic with dihydroartemisinin. Pf_proteasome purification was facilitated by His8-tag introduction onto β7. Inhibition of Pfβ5 correlated with parasite killing, without inhibiting human proteasome isoforms or showing cytotoxicity. The Pf_proteasome_SW584 cryoelectron microscopy (cryo-EM) structure showed that SW584 bound non-covalently distal from the catalytic threonine, in an unexplored pocket at the β5/β6/β3 subunit interface that has species differences between Pf and human proteasomes. Identification of a reversible, species selective, orally active series with low resistance propensity provides a path for drugging this essential target.

由于抗药性威胁着治疗计划,疟疾仍然是一个全球关注的健康问题。我们通过表型筛选确定了一种具有抗疟疾活性的哌啶甲酰胺(SW042)。对 SW042 产生抗药性的恶性疟原虫(Pf)寄生虫进行筛选后发现,Pf_蛋白酶体 β5 活性位点(Pfβ5)发生了点突变。一种强效类似物(SW584)在人类疟疾小鼠模型中显示出口服后的疗效。SW584 产生抗药性的倾向性较低(抗药性最小接种量 [MIR] >109),并且与双氢青蒿素具有协同作用。通过在 β7 上引入 His8 标记,促进了 Pf 蛋白酶体的纯化。抑制 Pfβ5 与杀死寄生虫有关,但不抑制人类蛋白酶体同工酶,也不显示细胞毒性。Pf_proteasome_SW584的低温电子显微镜(cryo-EM)结构显示,SW584与催化苏氨酸远端非共价结合,位于β5/β6/β3亚基界面上一个未探索的口袋中,该口袋在Pf和人类蛋白酶体之间存在物种差异。鉴定出一种可逆的、具有物种选择性的、口服活性的、低阻力倾向的系列药物,为这一重要靶点的药物治疗提供了一条途径。

Voltage-gated sodium (Nav) and calcium (Cav) channels are responsible for the initiation of electrical signals. They have long been targeted for the treatment of various diseases. The mounting number of cryoelectron microscopy (cryo-EM) structures for diverse subtypes of Nav and Cav channels from multiple organisms necessitates a generic residue numbering system to establish the structure-function relationship and to aid rational drug design or optimization. Here we suggest a structure-based residue numbering scheme, centering around the most conserved residues on each of the functional segments. We elaborate the generic numbers through illustrative examples, focusing on representative drug-binding sites of eukaryotic Nav and Cav channels. We also extend the numbering scheme to compare common disease mutations among different Nav subtypes. Application of the generic residue numbering scheme affords immediate insights into hotspots for pathogenic mutations and critical loci for drug binding and will facilitate drug discovery targeting Nav and Cav channels.

电压门控钠(Nav)和钙(Cav)通道负责启动电信号。长期以来,它们一直是治疗各种疾病的靶标。来自多种生物体的不同亚型 Nav 和 Cav 通道的冷冻电子显微镜(cryo-EM)结构越来越多,这就需要一个通用的残基编号系统来建立结构-功能关系,并帮助合理的药物设计或优化。在此,我们围绕每个功能片段上最保守的残基,提出了基于结构的残基编号方案。我们以真核生物 Nav 和 Cav 通道的代表性药物结合位点为例,详细阐述了通用编号。我们还扩展了编号方案,以比较不同 Nav 亚型之间的常见疾病突变。应用通用残基编号方案可立即了解致病突变的热点和药物结合的关键位点,并将促进针对 Nav 和 Cav 通道的药物发现。

Synthetic biology aims to engineer complex biological systems using modular elements, with coiled-coil (CC) dimer-forming modules are emerging as highly useful building blocks in the regulation of protein assemblies and biological processes. Those small modules facilitate highly specific and orthogonal protein-protein interactions, offering versatility for the regulation of diverse biological functions. Additionally, their design rules enable precise control and tunability over these interactions, which are crucial for specific applications. Recent advancements showcase their potential for use in innovative therapeutic interventions and biomedical applications. In this review, we discuss the potential of CCs, exploring their diverse applications in mammalian cells, such as synthetic biological circuit design, transcriptional and allosteric regulation, cellular assemblies, chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cell regulation, and genome editing and their role in advancing the understanding and regulation of cellular processes.
