Catalytic domain of human PARP-1 in complex with the inhibitor MC2050
Structural highlights
FunctionPARP1_HUMAN Involved in the base excision repair (BER) pathway, by catalyzing the poly(ADP-ribosyl)ation of a limited number of acceptor proteins involved in chromatin architecture and in DNA metabolism. This modification follows DNA damages and appears as an obligatory step in a detection/signaling pathway leading to the reparation of DNA strand breaks. Mediates the poly(ADP-ribosyl)ation of APLF and CHFR. Positively regulates the transcription of MTUS1 and negatively regulates the transcription of MTUS2/TIP150. With EEF1A1 and TXK, forms a complex that acts as a T-helper 1 (Th1) cell-specific transcription factor and binds the promoter of IFN-gamma to directly regulate its transcription, and is thus involved importantly in Th1 cytokine production.[1] [2] [3] [4] Publication Abstract from PubMedTankyrases (TNKSs) have recently gained great consideration as potential targets in Wnt/beta-catenin pathway-dependent solid tumors. Previously, we reported the 2-mercaptoquinazolin-4-one MC2050 as a micromolar PARP1 inhibitor. Here we show how the resolution of the X-ray structure of PARP1 in complex with MC2050, combined with the computational investigation of the structural differences between TNKSs and PARP1/2 active sites, provided the rationale for a structure-based drug design campaign that with a limited synthetic effort led to the discovery of the bis-quinazolinone 5 as a picomolar and selective TNKS2 inhibitor, endowed with antiproliferative effects in a colorectal cancer cell line (DLD-1) where the Wnt pathway is constitutively activated.
