An SH3-binding allosteric modulator stabilizes the global conformation of the AML-associated Src-family kinase, Hck

ABSTRACT: While ATP-site inhibitors for protein-tyrosine kinases are often effective drugs, their clinical utility can be limited by off-target activity and acquired resistance mutations due to the conserved nature of the ATP-binding site. However, combining ATP-site and allosteric kinase inhibitors can overcome these shortcomings in a double-drugging framework. Here we explored the allosteric effects of two pyrimidine diamines, PDA1 and PDA2, on the conformational dynamics and activity of the Src-family tyrosine kinase Hck, a promising drug target for acute myeloid leukemia. Using 1H/15N-HSQC NMR, we mapped the binding site for both analogs to the PPII-binding surface of the SH3 domain. Despite the shared binding site, PDA1 and PDA2 had opposing effects on near-full-length Hck dynamics by hydrogen-deuterium exchange mass spectrometry, with PDA1 stabilizing and PDA2 disrupting the overall kinase conformation. Kinase activity assays were consistent with these observations, with PDA2 enhancing kinase activity while PDA1 was without effect. Molecular dynamics simulations predicted selective bridging of the kinase domain N-lobe and SH3 domain by PDA1, a mechanism of allosteric stabilization supported by site-directed mutagenesis of N-lobe contact sites. Cellular thermal shift assays confirmed SH3 do-main-dependent interaction of PDA1 with wild-type Hck in myeloid leukemia cells and with a kinase domain gatekeeper mutant (T338M). These results identify PDA1 as a starting point for Src-family kinase allosteric inhibitor development that may work in concert with ATP-site inhibitors to suppress the evolution of resistance.

Project description:Src family kinases are often overexpressed and constitutively active in cancer cells, where they represent promising targets for therapeutic intervention. In myeloid hematopoietic cells, Hck, Lyn, and Fgr are associated with both chronic and acute forms of myeloid leukemia. All three of these kinases are expressed in acute myeloid leukemia (AML), where high-level expression correlates with poor survival. The pyrrolopyrimidine Src-family kinase inhibitor A-419259 (also known as RK-20449) has been shown to significantly inhibit patient-derived AML bone marrow cell growth in immunocompromised mice. Recent work has identified an N-phenylbenzamide kinase inhibitor, known as TL02-59, which potently inhibited Fgr kinase activity in vitro and reversed orthotopic engraftment of AML cells in the bone marrow and spleen of immunocompromised mice following oral administration. The inhibitory mechanism of this compound with Fgr or other Src-family members has not been reported. Both wild-type Fgr and a tail mutant (i.e., replacement of Tyr527 with Phe) were shown to produce equal numbers of transformed colonies when expressed in rodent fibroblasts, whereas wild-type Hck transforming activity was completely repressed. In both Hck and Fgr, however, the tail tyrosine residue was shown to be phosphorylated, and hydrogen deuterium exchange mass spectrometry (HDX MS) of near-full-length Fgr was consistent with the closed conformation in solution, with the SH3 domain bound to the SH2-kinase linker and the tail bound to SH2. Here we present the first X-ray crystal structures of near-full-length Fgr bound to the ATP site inhibitors A-419259 and TL02-59. Structural changes induced by the inhibitors in the crystalline state were validated in solution using HDX MS, with A-419259 stabilizing the closed conformation and TL02-59 enhancing exposure of the SH3 domain to solvent. These new structures help to explain the constitutive activity of wild-type Fgr in cells as well as its unique sensitivity to TL02-59, which is currently in development for AML and other maladies.
