MAPK Pathway Inhibition Reshapes Kinase Chemoproteomic Ligandability Reporting on Cellular Activation States


ABSTRACT: Despite the pivotal role of oncogenic kinases in cancer initiation, progression, and resistance, functional profiling of their conformational states within cells remains challenging. Current methodologies often struggle to capture the dynamic structural features and inhibitor-bound conformations of these kinases, particularly in clinically relevant scenarios such as treatment response and relapse, where genomic characterization alone is insufficient.  Chemoproteomic techniques, including activity-based protein profiling (ABPP), offer a powerful means to assess amino acid reactivity in situ as a proxy for protein structure and function. Here, we report that treatment of BRAF mutation positive melanoma cell lines with the BRAF and MEK1/2 inhibitors, vemurafenib and trametinib respectively, results in a significant decrease in cysteine and lysine residue accessibility, consistent with inhibitor-induced conformational changes. Comparison of two ATP-competitive BRAF inhibitors, vemurafenib and dabrafenib, revealed distinct labelling patterns at the DFG-motif aspartate, demonstrating the ability of ABPP to resolve functional residue accessibility within kinase active sites. In melanoma cell lines with acquired resistance to BRAF or MEK inhibition, ABPP identified altered residue specific probe reactivity consistent with mutation-driven conformational shifts. Mass spectrometry validation further revealed similar accessibility changes in MAPK pathway components, including KSR2, suggesting broader pathway-level remodelling. These findings support the utility of ABPP for probing conformational dynamics, ligandability, and resistance-associated structural adaptations in kinases and related signalling proteins.

Despite the pivotal role of oncogenic kinases in cancer initiation, progression, and therapeutic resistance, functionally profiling their activity and conformational dynamics in live cells remains challenging. Existing methods often fail to capture inhibitor-bound structural states of kinases, particularly in clinically relevant contexts, such as treatment response and acquired resistance, where genomic data alone are insufficient. Here, we use activity-based protein profiling (ABPP) to monitor  ...[more]
