A study of the interaction space of two lactate dehydrogenase isoforms (LDHA and LDHB) and some of their inhibitors using proteochemometrics modeling.

ABSTRACT: Lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) is a tetramer enzyme that converts pyruvate to lactate reversibly. This enzyme becomes important because it is associated with diseases such as cancers, heart disease, liver problems, and most importantly, corona disease. As a system-based method, proteochemometrics does not require knowledge of the protein's three-dimensional structure, but rather depends on the amino acid sequence and protein descriptors. Here, we applied this methodology to model a set of LDHA and LDHB isoenzyme inhibitors. To implement the proteochemetrics method, the camb package in the R Studio Server programming environment was used. The activity of 312 compounds of LDHA and LDHB isoenzyme inhibitors from the valid Binding DB database was retrieved. The proteochemometrics method was applied to three machine learning algorithms gradient amplification model, random forest, and support vector machine as regression methods to find the best model. Through the combination of different models into an ensemble (greedy and stacking optimization), we explored the possibility of improving the performance of models. For the RF best ensemble model of inhibitors of LDHA and LDHB isoenzymes, and were 0.66 and 0.62, respectively. LDH inhibitory activation is influenced by Morgan fingerprints and topological structure descriptors.

Project description:Lactate dehydrogenase A (LDHA) is a critical metabolic enzyme belonging to a family of 2-hydroxy acid oxidoreductases that plays a key role in anaerobic metabolism in the cells. In hypoxia condition, the overexpression of LDHA shifts the metabolic pathway of ATP synthesis from oxidative phosphorylation to aerobic glycolysis and the hypoxia condition is a common phenomenon occurred in the microenvironment of tumor cells; therefore, the inhibition of LDHA is considered to be an excellent strategy for cancer therapy. In this study, we employed in silico methods to design inhibitory peptides for lactate dehydrogenase through the disturbance in tetramerization of the enzyme. Using peptide as an anti-cancer agent is a novel approach for cancer therapy possessing some advantages with respect to the chemotherapeutic drugs such as low toxicity, ease of synthesis, and high target specificity. So peptides can act as appropriate enzyme inhibitor in parallel to chemical compounds. In this study, several computational techniques such as molecular dynamics (MD) simulation, docking and MM-PBSA calculation have been employed to investigate the structural characteristics of the monomer, dimer, and tetramer forms of the enzyme. Analysis of MD simulation and protein-protein interaction showed that the N-terminal arms of each subunit have an important role in enzyme tetramerization to establish active form of the enzyme. Hence, N-terminal arm can be used as a template for peptide design. Then, peptides were designed and evaluated to obtain best binders based on the affinity and physicochemical properties. Finally, the inhibitory effect of the peptides on subunit association was measured by dynamic light scattering (DLS) technique. Our results showed that the designed peptides which mimic the N-terminal arm of the enzyme can successfully target the C-terminal domain and interrupt the bona fide form of the enzyme subunits. The result of this study makes a new avenue to disrupt the assembly process and thereby oppress the function of the LDHA.
