    Abstract FUBP-interacting repressor (FIR) is a suppressor of transcription of the proto-oncogene MYC. FIR binds to the far upstream element (FUSE) of the MYC promoter. Competition of FIR with FUSE-binding protein 1 (FUBP1) is a key mechanism of MYC transcriptional regulation. To gain insights into the structural mechanisms regulating FIR DNA interaction, we determined the crystal structure of two FIR RRM domains (RRM1-2) with single-stranded FUSE DNA sequences. These structures revealed an ability of the RRM domain to recognize diverse FUSE regions through distinct intermolecular interactions and binding modes. Comparative structural analyses against available RRM-ssDNA/RNA complexes showed that the nucleotide configurations in FIR were similar to those in other RRMs that harbour a tyrosine at the conserved aromatic position in the RNP2 motif (Y-type RRM), but not those with a phenylalanine (F-type RRM). Site-directed mutagenesis experiments demonstrated that a single substitution, Y115F, altered the binding affinities of oligonucleotides to FIR RRM, suggesting an important role of this conserved aromatic residue in ssDNA/RNA interactions. Our study provides the structural basis for further mechanistic studies on this important protein-DNA interaction.

    Abstract Multi-subunit ATPase-dependent chromatin remodelling complexes SWI/SNF (switch/sucrose non-fermentable) are fundamental epigenetic regulators of gene transcription. Functional genomic studies revealed a remarkable mutation prevalence of SWI/SNF-encoding genes in 20-25% of all human cancers, frequently driving oncogenic programmes. Some SWI/SNF-mutant cancers are hypersensitive to perturbations in other SWI/SNF subunits, regulatory proteins and distinct biological pathways, often resulting in sustained anticancer effects and synthetic lethal interactions. Exploiting these vulnerabilities is a promising therapeutic strategy. Here, we review the importance of SWI/SNF chromatin remodellers in gene regulation as well as mechanisms leading to assembly defects and their role in cancer development. We will focus in particular on emerging strategies for the targeted therapy of SWI/SNF-deficient cancers using chemical probes, including proteolysis targeting chimeras, to induce synthetic lethality.

    Abstract Mammalian STE20-like (MST) kinases 1-4 play key roles in regulating the Hippo and autophagy pathways, and their dysregulation has been implicated in cancer development. In contrast to the well-studied MST1/2, the roles of MST3/4 are less clear, in part due to the lack of potent and selective inhibitors. Here, we re-evaluated literature compounds, and used structure-guided design to optimize the p21-activated kinase (PAK) inhibitor G-5555 (

    Abstract Bromodomain and extra-terminal domain (BET) proteins and histone deacetylases (HDACs) are prime targets in cancer therapy. Recent research has particularly focused on the development of dual BET/HDAC inhibitors for hard-to-treat tumors, such as pancreatic cancer. Here, we developed a new series of potent dual BET/HDAC inhibitors by choosing starting scaffolds that enabled us to optimally merge the two functionalities into a single compound. Systematic structure-guided modification of both warheads then led to optimized binders that were superior in potency to both parent compounds, with the best molecules of this series binding to both BRD4 bromodomains as well as HDAC1/2 with EC

    Abstract MST1, MST2, MST3, MST4, and YSK1 are conserved members of the mammalian sterile 20-like serine/threonine (MST) family that regulate cellular functions such as proliferation and migration. The MST3 isozyme plays a role in regulating cell growth and apoptosis, and its dysregulation has been linked to high-grade tumors. To date, there are no isoform-selective inhibitors that could be used for validating the role of MST3 in tumorigenesis. We designed a series of 3-aminopyrazole-based macrocycles based on the structure of a promiscuous inhibitor. By varying the moieties targeting the solvent-exposed region and optimizing the linker, macrocycle JA310 (

    Abstract PDZ domains constitute a large family of modular domains that are well-known for binding C-terminal motifs of target proteins. Some of them also bind to internal PDZ binding motifs (PDZbms), but this aspect of the PDZ interactome is poorly studied. Here we explored internal PDZbm-mediated interactions using the PDZ domain of Shank1 as a model. We identified a series of human Shank1 ligands with C-terminal or internal PDZbms using proteomic peptide-phage display, and established that while the consensus sequence of C-terminal ligands is x-T-x-(L/F)-COOH, the consensus of internal PDZbm is exclusively x-T-x-F-x, where x is any amino acid. We found that the affinities of PDZbm interactions are in the low micromolar range. The crystal structure of the complex between Shank1 PDZ and an internal PDZbm revealed that the binding mode of internal PDZbms was similar to that of C-terminal ligands. Pull-down experiments confirmed that both C-terminal and internal PDZbm interactions can occur in the context of full-length proteins. Our study expands the interactome of Shank1 and hints at a largely unexplored interaction space of PDZ domains.

    Abstract Inactivation of the transcription factor p53, through either direct mutation or aberrations in one of its many regulatory pathways, is a hallmark of virtually every tumor. In recent years, screening for p53 activators and a better understanding of the molecular mechanisms of oncogenic perturbations of p53 function have opened up a host of novel avenues for therapeutic intervention in cancer: from the structure-guided design of chemical chaperones to restore the function of conformationally unstable p53 cancer mutants, to the development of potent antagonists of the negative regulators MDM2 and MDMX and other modulators of the p53 pathway for the treatment of cancers with wild-type p53. Some of these compounds have now moved from proof-of-concept studies into clinical trials, with prospects for further, personalized anticancer medicines. We trace the structural evolution of the p53 pathway, from germ-line surveillance in simple multicellular organisms to its pluripotential role in humans.
