Specific inhibition of G proteins holds a great pharmacological promise to, e.g., target oncogenic G proteins and can be achieved by the two natural products FR900359 (FR) and YM-254890 (YM). Unfortunately, recent rational-design-based approaches to address G proteins other than G subtypes were not successful mainly due to the conformational complexity of these new modalities-like compounds. Here, we report the water-derived NMR structure of YM, which strongly differs from the conformation of G-bound YM as found in the crystal structure. Reanalysis of the crystal structure suggests that the water-derived NMR structure of YM also represents a valid solution of the electron density. Extensive molecular dynamic simulations unveiled much higher binding affinities of the water-derived NMR structure compared to the original YM conformation of pdb 3ah8 . Employing a in-silico-designed, fast activating G protein conformation molecular dynamics data ultimately show how the inhibitor impairs the domain motion of the G protein necessary to hinder nucleotide exchange.
特定的 G 蛋白抑制具有很大的药理学前景,例如,针对致癌 G 蛋白,并且可以通过两种天然产物 FR900359(FR)和 YM-254890(YM)来实现。不幸的是,最近基于理性设计的针对除 G 亚型以外的 G 蛋白的方法并不成功,主要是由于这些新型类似物的构象复杂性。在这里,我们报告了 YM 的水衍生 NMR 结构,它与晶体结构中发现的与 G 结合的 YM 的构象有很大的不同。对晶体结构的重新分析表明,YM 的水衍生 NMR 结构也代表了电子密度的有效解决方案。广泛的分子动力学模拟揭示了与原始 YM 构象相比,水衍生 NMR 结构的结合亲和力要高得多pdb 3ah8。利用计算机设计的快速激活 G 蛋白构象分子动力学数据最终表明抑制剂如何阻碍 G 蛋白的结构域运动,从而阻止核苷酸交换。
