MST3 in complex with MRIA11

Function[STK24_HUMAN] Serine/threonine-protein kinase that acts on both serine and threonine residues and promotes apoptosis in response to stress stimuli and caspase activation. Mediates oxidative-stress-induced cell death by modulating phosphorylation of JNK1-JNK2 (MAPK8 and MAPK9), p38 (MAPK11, MAPK12, MAPK13 and MAPK14) during oxidative stress. Plays a role in a staurosporine-induced caspase-independent apoptotic pathway by regulating the nuclear translocation of AIFM1 and ENDOG and the DNase activity associated with ENDOG. Phosphorylates STK38L on 'Thr-442' and stimulates its kinase activity. Regulates cellular migration with alteration of PTPN12 activity and PXN phosphorylation: phosphorylates PTPN12 and inhibits its activity and may regulate PXN phosphorylation through PTPN12. May act as a key regulator of axon regeneration in the optic nerve and radial nerve.[1] [2] [3] [4] [5] Publication Abstract from PubMedSalt-inducible kinases (SIKs) are key metabolic regulators. The imbalance in SIK function is associated with the development of diverse cancers, including breast, gastric, and ovarian cancers. Chemical tools to clarify the roles of SIK in different diseases are, however, sparse and are generally characterized by poor kinome-wide selectivity. Here, we have adapted the pyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidin-7-one-based p21-activated kinase (PAK) inhibitor G-5555 for the targeting of SIK, by exploiting differences in the back-pocket region of these kinases. Optimization was supported by high-resolution crystal structures of G-5555 bound to the known off-targets, MST3 and MST4, leading to a chemical probe, MRIA9, with dual SIK/PAK activity and excellent selectivity over other kinases. Furthermore, we show that MRIA9 sensitizes ovarian cancer cells to treatment with the mitotic agent paclitaxel, confirming earlier data from genetic knockdown studies and suggesting a combination therapy with SIK inhibitors and paclitaxel for the treatment of paclitaxel-resistant ovarian cancer.
