Abstract
Regulated hydrolysis of the phosphoinositide phosphatidylinositol(4,5)-bis-phosphate to diacylglycerol and inositol-1,4,5-P3 defines a major eukaryotic pathway for translation of extracellular cues to intracellular signaling circuits. Members of the lipid-activated protein kinase C isoenzyme family (PKCs) play central roles in this signaling circuit. One of the regulatory mechanisms employed to downregulate stimulated PKC activity is via a proteasome-dependent degradation pathway that is potentiated by peptidyl-prolyl isomerase Pin1. Here, we show that contrary to prevailing models, Pin1 does not regulate conventional PKC isoforms α and βII via a canonical cis-trans isomerization of the peptidyl-prolyl bond. Rather, Pin1 acts as a PKC binding partner that controls PKC activity via sequestration of the C-terminal tail of the kinase. The high-resolution structure of full-length Pin1 complexed to the C-terminal tail of PKCβII reveals that a novel bivalent interaction mode underlies the non-catalytic mode of Pin1 action. Specifically, Pin1 adopts a conformation in which it uses the WW and PPIase domains to engage two conserved phosphorylated PKC motifs, the turn motif and hydrophobic motif, respectively. Hydrophobic motif is a non-canonical Pin1-interacting element. The structural information combined with the results of extensive binding studies and experiments in cultured cells suggest that non-catalytic mechanisms represent unappreciated modes of Pin1-mediated regulation of AGC kinases and other key enzymes/substrates.

Abstract
This review examines the complex role of Pin1 in the development and treatment of cancer. Pin1 is the only peptidyl-prolyl isomerase (PPIase) that can recognize and isomerize phosphorylated Ser/Thr-Pro peptide bonds. Pin1 catalyzes a structural change in phosphorylated Ser/Thr-Pro motifs that can modulate protein function and thereby impact cell cycle regulation and tumorigenesis. The molecular mechanisms by which Pin1 contributes to oncogenesis are reviewed, including Pin1 overexpression and its correlation with poor cancer prognosis, and the contribution of Pin1 to aggressive tumor phenotypes involved in therapeutic resistance is discussed, with an emphasis on cancer stem cells, the epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT), and immunosuppression. The therapeutic potential of Pin1 inhibition in cancer is discussed, along with the promise and the difficulties in identifying potent, drug-like, small-molecule Pin1 inhibitors. The available evidence supports the efficacy of targeting Pin1 as a novel cancer therapeutic by analyzing the role of Pin1 in a complex network of cancer-driving pathways and illustrating the potential of synergistic drug combinations with Pin1 inhibitors for treating aggressive and drug-resistant tumors.

Abstract
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is an immense and growing public health crisis. Despite over 100 years of investigation, the etiology remains elusive and therapy ineffective. Despite current gaps in knowledge, recent studies have identified dysfunction or loss-of-function of Pin1, a unique cis-trans peptidyl prolyl isomerase, as an important step in AD pathogenesis. Here I review the functionality of Pin1 and its role in neurodegeneration.

Abstract
The peptidyl-prolyl isomerase Pin1 cooperates with proline-directed kinases and phosphatases to regulate multiple oncogenic pathways. Pin1 specifically recognizes phosphorylated Ser/Thr-Pro motifs in proteins and catalyzes their cis-trans isomerization. The Pin1-catalyzed conformational changes determine the stability, activity, and subcellular localization of numerous protein substrates. We conducted a survey of eukaryotic protein kinases that are regulated by Pin1 and whose Pin1 binding sites have been identified. Our analyses reveal that Pin1 target sites in kinases do not fall exclusively within the intrinsically disordered regions of these enzymes. Rather, they fall into three groups based on their location: (i) within the catalytic kinase domain, (ii) in the C-terminal kinase region, and (iii) in regulatory domains. Some of the kinases downregulated by Pin1 activity are tumor-suppressing, and all kinases upregulated by Pin1 activity are functionally pro-oncogenic. These findings further reinforce the rationale for developing Pin1-specific inhibitors as attractive pharmaceuticals for cancer therapy.

Abstract
Proteins are intrinsically dynamic and change conformations over a wide range of time scales. While the conformational dynamics have been realized to be important for protein functions, e.g., in activity-stability trade-offs, how they play a role during enzyme catalysis has been of debate over decades. By studying Pin1 peptidyl-prolyl isomerase using extensive molecular dynamics simulations, here we discuss how the slow intrinsic dynamics of Pin1 observed in the NMR relaxation dispersion experiment occur and couple to isomerization reactions in molecular detail. In particular, we analyze the angular correlation functions of the backbone N-H bonds and find that slow conformational transitions occur at about the 310 helix in the apo state. These events at the helical region further affect the residues at about the ligand binding site. Unfolding of this helix leads to a tight hydrogen bond between the helical region and the ligand binding loop, thus forming a stable coiled structure. The helical and coiled structures are found to be characteristic of the Pin1-ligand complex with the ligand in the trans and cis states, respectively. These results indicate that the changes in the slow dynamics of Pin1 by the isomerization reaction occur via the shift in populations of the helical and coiled states, where the balance is dependent on the ligand isomerization states.

Abstract
Protein allostery is a biological process facilitated by spatially long-range intra-protein communication, whereby ligand binding or amino acid change at a distant site affects the active site remotely. Molecular dynamics (MD) simulation provides a powerful computational approach to probe the allosteric effect. However, current MD simulations cannot reach the time scales of whole allosteric processes. The advent of deep learning made it possible to evaluate both spatially short and long-range communications for understanding allostery. For this purpose, we applied a neural relational inference model based on a graph neural network, which adopts an encoder-decoder architecture to simultaneously infer latent interactions for probing protein allosteric processes as dynamic networks of interacting residues. From the MD trajectories, this model successfully learned the long-range interactions and pathways that can mediate the allosteric communications between distant sites in the Pin1, SOD1, and MEK1 systems. Furthermore, the model can discover allostery-related interactions earlier in the MD simulation trajectories and predict relative free energy changes upon mutations more accurately than other methods.

Abstract
Parvulins are ubiquitous peptidyl-prolyl isomerases (PPIases) required for protein folding and regulation. Among parvulin members, Arabidopsis PIN1At, human PIN1, and yeast ESS1 share a conserved cysteine residue but differ by the presence of an N-terminal WW domain, absent in PIN1At. In this study, we have explored whether the cysteine residue of Arabidopsis PIN1At is involved in catalysis and subject to oxidative modifications. From the functional complementation of yeast ess1 mutant, we concluded that the cysteine at position 69 is mandatory for PIN1At function in vivo, unless being replaced by an Asp which is found in a few parvulin members. This result correlates with a decrease of the in vitro PPIase activity of non-functional PIN1At cysteinic variants. A decrease of PIN1At activity was observed upon H2O2 treatment. The in vitro oxidation of cysteine 69, which has an acidic pKa value of 4.9, leads to the formation of covalent dimers that are reduced by thioredoxins, or to sulfinic or sulfonic acid forms at higher H2O2 excess. These investigations highlight the importance of the sole cysteine residue of PIN1At for activity. The reversible formation of an intermolecular disulfide bond might constitute a protective or regulatory mechanism under oxidizing conditions.

Abstract
Proteins composed of multiple domains allow for structural heterogeneity and interdomain dynamics that may be vital for function. Intradomain structures and dynamics can influence interdomain conformations and vice versa. However, no established structure determination method is currently available that can probe the coupling of these motions. The protein Pin1 contains separate regulatory and catalytic domains that sample "extended" and "compact" states, and ligand binding changes this equilibrium. Ligand binding and interdomain distance have been shown to impact the activity of Pin1, suggesting interdomain allostery. In order to characterize the conformational equilibrium of Pin1, we describe a novel method to model the coupling between intra- and interdomain dynamics at atomic resolution using multistate ensembles. The method uses time-averaged nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) restraints and double electron-electron resonance (DEER) data that resolve distance distributions. While the intradomain calculation is primarily driven by exact nuclear Overhauser enhancements (eNOEs), J couplings, and residual dipolar couplings (RDCs), the relative domain distribution is driven by paramagnetic relaxation enhancement (PREs), RDCs, interdomain NOEs, and DEER. Our data support a 70:30 population of the compact and extended states in apo Pin1. A multistate ensemble describes these conformations simultaneously, with distinct conformational differences located in the interdomain interface stabilizing the compact or extended states. We also describe correlated conformations between the catalytic site and interdomain interface that may explain allostery driven by interdomain contact.

Abstract
Pin1 enzyme protein recognizes specifically phosphorylated serine/threonine (pSer/pThr) and catalyzes the slow interconversion of the peptidyl-prolyl bond between cis and trans forms. Structural dynamics between the cis and trans forms are essential to reveal the underlying molecular mechanism of the catalysis. In this study, we apply the weighted ensemble (WE) simulation method to obtain comprehensive path ensembles for the Pin1-catalyzed isomerization process. Associated rate constants for both cis-to-trans and trans-to-cis isomerization are calculated to be submicroseconds time scales, which are in good agreement with the calculated free energy landscape where the cis form is slightly less favorable. The committor-like analysis indicates the shift of the transition state toward trans form (at the isomerization angle ω ∼ 110°) compared to the intrinsic position for the isolated substrate (ω ∼ 90°). The calculated structural ensemble clarifies a role of both the dual-histidine motif, His59/His157, and the basic residues, Lys63/Arg68/Arg69, to anchor both sides of the peptidyl-prolyl bond, the aromatic ring in Pro, and the phosphate in pSer, respectively. The rotation of the torsion angle is found to be facilitated by relaying the hydrogen-bond partner of the main-chain oxygen in pSer from Cys113 in the cis form to Arg68 in the trans form, through Ser154 at the transition state, which is really the cause of the shift in the transition state. The role of Ser154 as a driving force of the isomerization is confirmed by additional WE and free energy calculations for S154A mutant where the isomerization takes place slightly slower and the free energy barrier increases through the mutation. The present study shows the usefulness of the WE simulation for substantial path samplings between the reactant and product states, unraveling the molecular mechanism of the enzyme catalysis.

Abstract
Free energy surfaces have played a central role in studying protein conformational changes and enzymatic reactions over decades. Yet, free energy barriers and kinetics are highly dependent on the coordinates chosen to define the surface, and furthermore, the dynamics during the reactions are often overlooked. Our recent study on the Pin1-catalyzed isomerization reaction has indicated that the isomerization transition events remarkably deviate from the free energy path, highlighting the need to understand the reaction dynamics in more detail. To this end, here we investigate the reaction coordinates that describe the transition states of the free energy and transition pathways by minimizing the cross-entropy function. We show that the isomerization transition events can be expressed by the concerted changes in the improper torsion angle ζ and nearby backbone torsional angles of the ligand, whereas the transition state of the free energy surface involves changes in a broad range of coordinates including multiple protein-ligand interactions. The current result supports the previous finding that the isomerization transitions occur quickly from the conformational excited states, which is in sharp contrast to the slow and collective changes suggested from the free energy path. Our results further indicate that the coordinates derived from the transition trajectories are not sufficient for finding the transition states on the free energy surfaces due to the lack of information from conformational excited states.

Abstract
Pin1 is a peptidyl-prolyl isomerase responsible for isomerizing phosphorylated S/T-P motifs. Pin1 has two domains that each have a distinct ligand binding site, but only its PPIase domain has catalytic activity. Vast evidence supports interdomain allostery of Pin1, with binding of a ligand to its regulatory WW domain impacting activity in the PPIase domain. Many diverse studies have made mutations in Pin1 in order to elucidate interactions that are responsible for ligand binding, isomerase activity, and interdomain allostery. Here, we summarize these mutations and their impact on Pin1′s structure and function.

Abstract
Pin1 is a peptidyl-prolyl isomerase (PPIase) which catalyzes cis/trans isomerization of pS/pT-P bond. Its activity is related to various cellular functions including suppression of Alzheimer's disease. A cysteine residue C113 is known to be important for its PPIase activity; a mutation C113A reduced the activity by 130-fold. According to various nuclear magnetic resonance experiments for mutants of C113 and molecular dynamics (MD) simulation of wild-type Pin1, the protonation sate of Sγ of C113 regulates the hydrogen-bonding network of the dual-histidine motif (H59, H157) whose dynamics may affect substrate binding ability. However, it was still unclear why such local dynamic changes altered the PPIase activity of Pin1. In this study, we performed 500 ns of MD simulations of full-length wild-type Pin1 and C113A mutant in order to elucidate why the mutation C113A drastically reduced the PPIase activity of Pin1. The principal component analysis for both MD trajectories clearly elucidated that the mutation C113A suppressed the dynamics of Pin1 because it stabilized a hydrogen-bond between Nɛ of H59 and Oγ of S115. In the dynamics of wild-type protein, the phosphate binding loop (K63-S71) as well as the interdomain hinge showed the closed-open dynamics which correlated with the change of the hydrogen-bonding network of the dual-histidine motif. In contrast, in the dynamics of C113A mutant, the phosphate binding loop took only the closed conformation together with the interdomain hinge. Such closed-open dynamics must be essential for the PPIase activity of Pin1.

Abstract
Pin1 is a human peptidyl-prolyl cis-trans isomerase important for the regulation of phosphoproteins that are implicated in many diseases including cancer and Alzheimer's. Further biophysical study of Pin1 will elucidate the importance of the two-domain system to regulate its own activity. Here, we report near-complete backbone and side-chain 1H, 13C and 15N NMR chemical shift assignments of full-length, apo Pin1 for the purpose of studying interdomain allostery and dynamics.

Abstract
Conformational flexibility of protein is essential for enzyme catalysis. Yet, how protein's conformational rearrangements and dynamics contribute to catalysis remains highly controversial. To unravel protein's role in catalysis, it is inevitable to understand the static and dynamic mechanisms simultaneously. To this end, here the Pin1-catalyzed isomerization reaction is studied from the two perspectives. The static view indicates that the hydrogen bonds involving Pin1 rearrange in a tightly coupled manner with isomerization. In sharp contrast, the isomerization dynamics are found to be very rapid; protein's slow conformational rearrangements thus cannot occur simultaneously with isomerization, and the reaction proceeds in a nonequilibrium manner. The distinctive protein conformations necessary to stabilize the transition state are prepared a priori, i.e., as conformational excited states. The present result suggests that enzymatic reaction is not a simple thermal activation from equilibrium directly to the transition state, thus adding a novel perspective to Pauling's view.

Abstract
Pin1 is a two-domain human protein that catalyzes the cis-trans isomerization of phospho-Ser/Thr-Pro (pS/T-P) motifs in numerous cell-cycle regulatory proteins. These pS/T-P motifs bind to Pin1's peptidyl-prolyl isomerase (PPIase) domain in a catalytic pocket, between an extended catalytic loop and the PPIase domain core. Previous studies showed that post-translational phosphorylation of S71 in the catalytic loop decreases substrate binding affinity and isomerase activity. To define the origins for these effects, we investigated a phosphomimetic Pin1 mutant, S71E-Pin1, using solution NMR. We find that S71E perturbs not only its host loop but also the nearby PPIase core. The perturbations identify a local network of hydrogen bonds and salt bridges that is more extended than previously thought, and includes interactions between the catalytic loop and the α2/α3 turn in the PPIase core. Explicit-solvent molecular dynamics simulations and phylogenetic analysis suggest that these interactions act as conserved "latches" between the loop and PPIase core that enhance binding of phosphorylated substrates, as they are absent in PPIases lacking pS/T-P specificity. Our results suggest that S71 is a hub residue within an electrostatic network primed for phosphorylation, and may illustrate a common mechanism of phosphorylation-mediated allostery.

Abstract
Allosteric communication among domains in modular proteins consisting of flexibly linked domains with complimentary roles remains poorly understood. To understand how complementary domains communicate, we have studied human Pin1, a representative modular protein with two domains mutually tethered by a flexible linker: a WW domain for substrate recognition and a peptidyl-prolyl isomerase (PPIase) domain. Previous studies of Pin1 showed that physical contact between the domains causes dynamic allostery by reducing conformation dynamics in the catalytic domain, which compensates for the entropy costs of substrate binding to the catalytic site and thus increases catalytic activity. In this study, the S138A mutant PPIase domain, a mutation that mimics the structural impact of the interdomain contact, was demonstrated to display dynamic allostery by rigidification of the α2-α3 loop that harbors the key catalytic residue C113. The reduced dynamics of the α2-α3 loop stabilizes the C113-H59 hydrogen bond in the hydrogen-bonding network of the catalytic site. The stabilized hydrogen bond between C113 and H59 retards initiation of isomerization, which explains the reduced isomerization rate by ~20% caused by the S138A mutation. These results provide new insight into the interdomain allosteric communication of Pin1.

Abstract
The peptidyl prolyl isomerase Pin1 has two domains that are considered to be its binding (WW) and catalytic (PPIase) domains, both of which interact with phosphorylated Ser/Thr-Pro motifs. This shared specificity might influence substrate selection, as many known Pin1 substrates have multiple sequentially close phosphoSer/Thr-Pro motifs, including the protein interleukin-1 receptor-associated kinase-1 (IRAK1). The IRAK1 undefined domain (UD) contains two sets of such neighboring motifs (Ser131/Ser144 and Ser163/Ser173), suggesting possible bivalent interactions with Pin1. Using a series of NMR titrations with 15N-labeled full-length Pin1 (Pin1-FL), PPIase, or WW domain and phosphopeptides representing the Ser131/Ser144 and Ser163/Ser173 regions of IRAK1-UD, bivalent interactions were investigated. Binding studies using singly phosphorylated peptides showed that individual motifs displayed weak affinities (> 100 μm) for Pin1-FL and each isolated domain. Analysis of dually phosphorylated peptides binding to Pin1-FL showed that inclusion of bivalent states was necessary to fit the data. The resulting complex model and fitted parameters were applied to predict the impact of bivalent states at low micromolar concentrations, demonstrating significant affinity enhancement for both dually phosphorylated peptides (3.5 and 24 μm for peptides based on the Ser131/Ser144 and Ser163/Ser173 regions, respectively). The complementary technique biolayer interferometry confirmed the predicted affinity enhancement for a representative set of singly and dually phosphorylated Ser131/Ser144 peptides at low micromolar concentrations, validating model predictions. These studies provide novel insights regarding the complexity of interactions between Pin1 and activated IRAK1, and more broadly suggest that phosphorylation of neighboring Ser/Thr-Pro motifs in proteins might provide competitive advantage at cellular concentrations for engaging with Pin1.

Abstract
The last five years have witnessed major developments in the understanding of the allosteric phenomenon, broadly defined as coupling between remote molecular sites. Such advances have been driven not only by new theoretical models and pharmacological applications of allostery, but also by progress in the experimental approaches designed to map allosteric sites and transitions. Among these techniques, NMR spectroscopy has played a major role given its unique near-atomic resolution and sensitivity to the dynamics that underlie allosteric couplings. Here, we highlight recent progress in the NMR methods tailored to investigate allostery with the goal of offering an overview of which NMR approaches are best suited for which allosterically relevant questions. The picture of the allosteric "NMR toolbox" is provided starting from one of the simplest models of allostery (i.e., the four-state thermodynamic cycle) and continuing to more complex multistate mechanisms. We also review how such an "NMR toolbox" has assisted the elucidation of the allosteric molecular basis for disease-related mutations and the discovery of novel leads for allosteric drugs. From this overview, it is clear that NMR plays a central role not only in experimentally validating transformative theories of allostery, but also in tapping the full translational potential of allosteric systems.

Abstract
Intimate cooperativity among active site residues in enzymes is a key factor for regulating elaborate reactions that would otherwise not occur readily. Peptidyl-prolyl cis-trans isomerase NIMA-interacting 1 (Pin1) is the phosphorylation-dependent cis-trans peptidyl-prolyl isomerase (PPIase) that specifically targets phosphorylated Ser/Thr-Pro motifs. Residues C113, H59, H157, and T152 form a hydrogen bond network in the active site, as in the noted connection. Theoretical studies have shown that protonation to thiolate C113 leads to rearrangement of this hydrogen bond network, with switching of the tautomeric states of adjacent histidines (H59 and H157) [Barman, A., and Hamelberg, D. (2014) Biochemistry 53, 3839-3850]. This is called the "dual-histidine motif". Here, C113A and C113S Pin1 mutants were found to alter the protonation states of H59 according to the respective residue type replaced at C113, and the mutations resulted in disruption of the hydrogen bond within the dual-histidine motif. In the C113A mutant, H59 was observed to be in exchange between ε- and δ-tautomers, which widened the entrance of the active site cavity, as seen by an increase in the distance between residues A113 and S154. The C113S mutant caused H59 to exchange between the ε-tautomer and imidazolium while not changing the active site structure. Moreover, the imidazole ring orientations of H59 and H157 were changed in the C113S mutant. These results demonstrated that a mutation at C113 modulates the hydrogen bond network dynamics. Thus, C113 acts as a pivot to drive the concerted function among the residues in the hydrogen bond network, as theoretically predicted.
