Thioether-stapled macrocyclic inhibitors of the EH domain of EHD1.

ABSTRACT: Recycling of receptors from the endosomal recycling compartment to the plasma membrane is a critical cellular process, and recycling is particularly important for maintaining invasiveness in solid tumors. In this work, we continue our efforts to inhibit EHD1, a critical adaptor protein involved in receptor recycling. We applied a diversity-oriented macrocyclization approach to produce cyclic peptides with varied conformations, but that each contain a motif that binds to the EH domain of EHD1. Screening these uncovered several new inhibitors for EHD1's EH domain, the most potent of which bound with a K_d of 3.1μM. Several of the most potent inhibitors were tested in a cellular assay that measures extent of vesicle recycling. Inhibiting EHD1 could potentially slow cancer invasiveness and metastasis, and these cyclic peptides represent the most potent inhibitors of EHD1 to date.

Project description:Cardiac membrane excitability is tightly regulated by an integrated network of membrane-associated ion channels, transporters, receptors, and signaling molecules. Membrane protein dynamics in health and disease are maintained by a complex ensemble of intracellular targeting, scaffolding, recycling, and degradation pathways. Surprisingly, despite decades of research linking dysfunction in membrane protein trafficking with human cardiovascular disease, essentially nothing is known regarding the molecular identity or function of these intracellular targeting pathways in excitable cardiomyocytes.We sought to discover novel pathways for membrane protein targeting in primary cardiomyocytes.We report the initial characterization of a large family of membrane trafficking proteins in human heart. We used a tissue-wide screen for novel ankyrin-associated trafficking proteins and identified 4 members of a unique Eps15 homology (EH) domain-containing protein family (EHD1, EHD2, EHD3, EHD4) that serve critical roles in endosome-based membrane protein targeting in other cell types. We show that EHD1-4 directly associate with ankyrin, provide the first information on the expression and localization of these molecules in primary cardiomyocytes, and demonstrate that EHD1-4 are coexpressed with ankyrin-B in the myocyte perinuclear region. Notably, the expression of multiple EHD proteins is increased in animal models lacking ankyrin-B, and EHD3-deficient cardiomyocytes display aberrant ankyrin-B localization and selective loss of Na/Ca exchanger expression and function. Finally, we report significant modulation of EHD expression following myocardial infarction, suggesting that these proteins may play a key role in regulating membrane excitability in normal and diseased heart.Our findings identify and characterize a new class of cardiac trafficking proteins, define the first group of proteins associated with the ankyrin-based targeting network, and identify potential new targets to modulate membrane excitability in disease. Notably, these data provide the first link between EHD proteins and a human disease model.
