Targe&ng the plas&city of Abl and cSrc tyrosine kinases through mutagenesis and atomically detailed large-‐scale molecular dynamics simula&ons Ludovico Sutto! Computational Biophysics Group! Structural Biology and Biocomputing Programme! 1st July 2010 III RES user’s conference -‐ Zaragoza Abl, cSRC members of a large family Protein Kinases are key regulators of cell func&on (signal transduc&on, cellular growth/development/death..) Abl – cSRC sequence iden&ty 46% Protein Kinase func&on ac&vated Protein Kinase + protein + ATP CATALIZE THE PHOSPHORILATION OF phosphorilated protein A PROTEIN SUBSTRATE • same reac&on -‐> same ac&ve conforma&on • family members differ in inac&ve conforma&on and ac&va&on mechanism • wrong ac&va&on may lead to cancer ADP Inac&ve states of ABL and cSRC featuring DFG flip Ima+nib binds to DFG-‐Asp out conformaCons -‐> potent anC-‐cancer drug Affinity for cSRC >2000x lower (from nM to µM) cSRC exists also in DFG-‐Asp out inac&ve conforma&on cSRC inacCve state ABL-‐like DFG-‐Asp out , Aloop closed Ima-nib binds to c-‐SRC with the same orienta&on and interac&ons as in Abl. Nevertheless the affinity is much lower. Seeliger M.A. et al.
