Irisin is a clinically significant protein playing a valuable role in regulating various diseases. Irisin attenuates synaptic and memory dysfunction, highlighting its importance in Alzheimer's disease. On the other hand, Microtubule Affinity Regulating Kinase 4 (MARK4) is associated with various cancer types, uncontrolled neuronal migrations, and disrupted microtubule dynamics. In addition, MARK4 has been explored as a potential drug target for cancer and Alzheimer's disease therapy. Here, we studied the binding and subsequent inhibition of MARK4 by irisin. Irisin binds to MARK4 with an admirable affinity ( = 0.8 × 10 M), subsequently inhibiting its activity (IC = 2.71 µm). In vitro studies were further validated by docking and simulations. Molecular docking revealed several hydrogen bonds between irisin and MARK4, including critical residues, Lys38, Val40, and Ser134. Furthermore, the molecular dynamic simulation showed that the binding of irisin resulted in enhanced stability of MARK4. This study provides a rationale to use irisin as a therapeutic agent to treat MARK4-associated diseases.
鸢尾素是一种具有临床意义的蛋白质,在调节各种疾病方面发挥着重要作用。鸢尾素可减轻突触和记忆功能障碍,这凸显了其在阿尔茨海默病中的重要性。另一方面,微管亲和调节激酶 4(MARK4)与多种癌症类型、不受控制的神经元迁移和微管动力学紊乱有关。此外,MARK4 已被探索作为癌症和阿尔茨海默病治疗的潜在药物靶点。在这里,我们研究了鸢尾素与 MARK4 的结合及其随后的抑制作用。鸢尾素与 MARK4 具有令人钦佩的亲和力( = 0.8×10^-6 M),随后抑制其活性(IC = 2.71 µm)。体外研究进一步通过对接和模拟进行了验证。分子对接显示鸢尾素和 MARK4 之间存在几个氢键,包括关键残基 Lys38、Val40 和 Ser134。此外,分子动力学模拟表明,鸢尾素的结合导致 MARK4 的稳定性增强。这项研究为将鸢尾素用作治疗 MARK4 相关疾病的治疗剂提供了依据。
