HSP90 in complex with 5-[4-(2-Fluoro-phenyl)-5-oxo-4,5-dihydro-1H-[1,2,4]triazol-3-yl]-N-furan-2-ylmethyl-2,4-dihydroxy-N-methyl-benzamide

FunctionHS90A_HUMAN Molecular chaperone that promotes the maturation, structural maintenance and proper regulation of specific target proteins involved for instance in cell cycle control and signal transduction. Undergoes a functional cycle that is linked to its ATPase activity. This cycle probably induces conformational changes in the client proteins, thereby causing their activation. Interacts dynamically with various co-chaperones that modulate its substrate recognition, ATPase cycle and chaperone function.[1] [2] Publication Abstract from PubMedStructure-based drug design has often been restricted by the rather static picture of protein-ligand complexes presented by crystal structures, despite the widely accepted importance of protein flexibility in biomolecular recognition. Here we report a detailed experimental and computational study of the drug target, human heat shock protein 90, to explore the contribution of protein dynamics to the binding thermodynamics and kinetics of drug-like compounds. We observe that their binding properties depend on whether the protein has a loop or a helical conformation in the binding site of the ligand-bound state. Compounds bound to the helical conformation display slow association and dissociation rates, high-affinity and high cellular efficacy, and predominantly entropically driven binding. An important entropic contribution comes from the greater flexibility of the helical relative to the loop conformation in the ligand-bound state. This unusual mechanism suggests increasing target flexibility in the bound state by ligand design as a new strategy for drug discovery. Protein conformational flexibility modulates kinetics and thermodynamics of drug binding.,Amaral M, Kokh DB, Bomke J, Wegener A, Buchstaller HP, Eggenweiler HM, Matias P, Sirrenberg C, Wade RC, Frech M Nat Commun. 2017 Dec 22;8(1):2276. doi: 10.1038/s41467-017-02258-w.
