SETD7 in complex with inhibitor (R)-PFI-2 and S-adenosyl-methionine
Structural highlights
FunctionSETD7_HUMAN Histone methyltransferase that specifically monomethylates 'Lys-4' of histone H3. H3 'Lys-4' methylation represents a specific tag for epigenetic transcriptional activation. Plays a central role in the transcriptional activation of genes such as collagenase or insulin. Recruited by IPF1/PDX-1 to the insulin promoter, leading to activate transcription. Has also methyltransferase activity toward non-histone proteins such as p53/TP53, TAF10, and possibly TAF7 by recognizing and binding the [KR]-[STA]-K in substrate proteins. Monomethylates 'Lys-189' of TAF10, leading to increase the affinity of TAF10 for RNA polymerase II. Monomethylates 'Lys-372' of p53/TP53, stabilizing p53/TP53 and increasing p53/TP53-mediated transcriptional activation.[1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] Publication Abstract from PubMedSET domain containing (lysine methyltransferase) 7 (SETD7) is implicated in multiple signaling and disease related pathways with a broad diversity of reported substrates. Here, we report the discovery of (R)-PFI-2-a first-in-class, potent (Ki (app) = 0.33 nM), selective, and cell-active inhibitor of the methyltransferase activity of human SETD7-and its 500-fold less active enantiomer, (S)-PFI-2. (R)-PFI-2 exhibits an unusual cofactor-dependent and substrate-competitive inhibitory mechanism by occupying the substrate peptide binding groove of SETD7, including the catalytic lysine-binding channel, and by making direct contact with the donor methyl group of the cofactor, S-adenosylmethionine. Chemoproteomics experiments using a biotinylated derivative of (R)-PFI-2 demonstrated dose-dependent competition for binding to endogenous SETD7 in MCF7 cells pretreated with (R)-PFI-2. In murine embryonic fibroblasts, (R)-PFI-2 treatment phenocopied the effects of Setd7 deficiency on Hippo pathway signaling, via modulation of the transcriptional coactivator Yes-associated protein (YAP) and regulation of YAP target genes. In confluent MCF7 cells, (R)-PFI-2 rapidly altered YAP localization, suggesting continuous and dynamic regulation of YAP by the methyltransferase activity of SETD7. These data establish (R)-PFI-2 and related compounds as a valuable tool-kit for the study of the diverse roles of SETD7 in cells and further validate protein methyltransferases as a druggable target class. (R)-PFI-2 is a potent and selective inhibitor of SETD7 methyltransferase activity in cells.,Barsyte-Lovejoy D, Li F, Oudhoff MJ, Tatlock JH, Dong A, Zeng H, Wu H, Freeman SA, Schapira M, Senisterra GA, Kuznetsova E, Marcellus R, Allali-Hassani A, Kennedy S, Lambert JP, Couzens AL, Aman A, Gingras AC, Al-Awar R, Fish PV, Gerstenberger BS, Roberts L, Benn CL, Grimley RL, Braam MJ, Rossi FM, Sudol M, Brown PJ, Bunnage ME, Owen DR, Zaph C, Vedadi M, Arrowsmith CH Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A. 2014 Sep 2;111(35):12853-8. doi:, 10.1073/pnas.1407358111.
