Crystal structure of 14-3-3sigma in complex with a PAK6 pT99 phosphopeptide stabilized by semi-synthetic fusicoccane FC-NCPC
Structural highlights
Function[1433S_HUMAN] Adapter protein implicated in the regulation of a large spectrum of both general and specialized signaling pathways. Binds to a large number of partners, usually by recognition of a phosphoserine or phosphothreonine motif. Binding generally results in the modulation of the activity of the binding partner. When bound to KRT17, regulates protein synthesis and epithelial cell growth by stimulating Akt/mTOR pathway (By similarity). p53-regulated inhibitor of G2/M progression. [PAK6_HUMAN] Serine/threonine protein kinase that plays a role in the regulation of gene transcription. The kinase activity is induced by various effectors including AR or MAP2K6/MAPKK6. Phosphorylates the DNA-binding domain of androgen receptor/AR and thereby inhibits AR-mediated transcription. Inhibits also ESR1-mediated transcription. May play a role in cytoskeleton regulation by interacting with IQGAP1. May protect cells from apoptosis through phosphorylation of BAD.[1] [2] Publication Abstract from PubMedTargeting protein-protein interactions (PPIs) is a promising approach in the development of drugs for many indications. 14-3-3 proteins are a family of phosphoprotein-binding molecules with critical functions in dozens of cell signaling networks. 14-3-3s are abundant in the central nervous system, and the small molecule fusicoccin-A (FC-A), a tool compound that can be used to manipulate 14-3-3 PPIs, enhances neurite outgrowth in cultured neurons. New semisynthetic FC-A derivatives with improved binding affinity for 14-3-3 complexes have recently been developed. Here, we use a series of screens that identify these compounds as potent inducers of neurite outgrowth through a polypharmacological mechanism. Using proteomics and X-ray crystallography, we discover that these compounds extensively regulate the 14-3-3 interactome by stabilizing specific PPIs, while disrupting others. These results provide new insights into the development of drugs to target 14-3-3 PPIs, a potential therapeutic strategy for CNS diseases.
