Abstract
Proteins from hyperthermophiles often contain a large number of ionic interactions. Close examination of the previously determined crystal structure of the ATPase domain of MutL from a hyperthermophile, Aquifex aeolicus, revealed that the domain contains a continuous ion-pair/hydrogen-bond network consisting of 11 charged amino acid residues on a β-sheet. Mutations were introduced to disrupt the network, showing that the more extensively the network was disrupted, the greater the thermostability of the protein was decreased. Based on urea denaturation analysis, a thermodynamic parameter, energy for the conformational stability, was evaluated, which indicated that amino acid residues in the network contributed additively to the protein stability. A continuous network rather than a cluster of isolated interactions would pay less entropic penalty upon fixing the side chains to make the same number of ion pairs/hydrogen bonds, which might contribute more favorably to the structural formation of thermostable proteins.

Du S, Lu XH, Li WY, Li LP, Ma YC, Zhou L, Wu JW, Ma Y, Wang RL. Exploring the dynamic mechanism of allosteric drug SHP099 inhibiting SHP2 E69K. Mol Divers 2021; 25:1873-1887. [PMID: 33392964 DOI: 10.1007/s11030-020-10179-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/01/2020] [Accepted: 12/17/2020] [Indexed: 10/22/2022]
Abstract
The E69K mutation is one of the most frequent protein tyrosine phosphatase-2 (SHP2) mutations in leukemia, and it can cause the increase in the protein activity. Recent studies have shown that the E69K mutation was fairly sensitive to the allosteric inhibitor of SHP2 (SHP099). However, the molecular mechanism of the allosteric drug SHP099 inhibiting SHP2E69K remains unclear. Thus, the molecular dynamic simulations and the post-dynamics analyses (RMSF, PCA, DCCM, RIN and the binding free energies) for SHP2WT, SHP2WT-SHP099, SHP2E69K and SHP2E69K-SHP099 were carried out, respectively. Owing to the strong binding affinity of SHP099 to residues Thr219 and Arg220, the flexibility of linker region (residues Val209-Arg231) was reduced. Moreover, the presence of SHP099 kept the autoinhibition state of the SHP2 protein through enhancing the interactions between the linker region and Q loop in PTP domain, such as Thr219/Val490, Thr219/Asn491, Arg220/Ile488 and Leu254/Asn491. In addition, it was found that the residues (Thr219, Arg220, Leu254 and Asn491) might be the key residues responsible for the conformational changes of protein. Overall, this study may provide an important basis for understanding how the SHP099 effectively inhibited the SHP2E69K activity at the molecular level.
