ATP-competitive inhibitors of PI3K enzymes demonstrate an isoform selective dual action by controlling membrane binding.

ABSTRACT: PI3Kα, consisting of the p110α isoform of the catalytic subunit of PI 3-kinase (encoded by PIK3CA) and the p85α regulatory subunit (encoded by PI3KR1) is activated by growth factor receptors. The identification of common oncogenic mutations in PIK3CA has driven the development of many inhibitors that bind to the ATP-binding site in the p110α subunit. Upon activation, PI3Kα undergoes conformational changes that promote its membrane interaction and catalytic activity, yet the effects of ATP-site directed inhibitors on the PI3Kα membrane interaction are unknown. Using FRET and biolayer interferometry assays, we show that a class of ATP-site directed inhibitors represented by GSK2126458 block the growth factor activated PI3KαWT membrane interaction, an activity dependent on the ligand forming
