Structure of a 14-3-3ε:FOXO3apS253 Phosphopeptide Complex Reveals 14-3-3 Isoform-Specific Binding of Forkhead Box Class O Transcription Factor (FOXO) Phosphoproteins.
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: The transcriptional activity of Forkhead Box O3 (FOXO3a) is inactivated by AKT-mediated phosphorylation on Serine 253 (S253), which enables FOXO3a binding to 14-3-3. Phosphorylated FOXO3a binding to 14-3-3 facilitates the nuclear exclusion of FOXO3a, causing cancer cell proliferation. The FOXO3a/14-3-3 interaction has, therefore, emerged as an important therapeutic target. Here, we report a comprehensive analysis using fluorescence polarization, isothermal titration calorimetry, small-angle X-ray scattering, X-ray crystallography, and molecular dynamics simulations to gain molecular-level insights into the interaction of FOXO3apS253 phosphopeptide with 14-3-3ε. A high-resolution structure of the fluorophore-labeled FOXO3apS253:14-3-3ε complex revealed a distinct mode
