Article Abstract

Microtubule is a key component of cytoskeleton and has been considered as an important target for the treatment of cancer. In particular, the tubulin taxane-site inhibitors such as taxol analogs and epothilones have achieved great success in clinical trials. However, the structural basis of many taxane-site inhibitors is still lacking in exploring their mechanism of action. We here reported crystal complex structures for three taxane-site inhibitors, Ixabepilone, Epothilone B, and Epothilone D, which were determined to 2.4 Å, 2.4 Å, and 2.85 Å, respectively. The crystal structures revealed that these taxane-site inhibitors possess similar binding modes to that of Epothilone A at the taxane site, e.g. making critical hydrogen-bonding interactions with multiple residues on the M-loop, which facilitating the tubulin polymerization. Furthermore, we summarized the binding modes of almost all taxane-site inhibitors and identified novel taxane-site ligands with simpler chemical structures through virtual screening. On this basis, new derivatives with higher binding affinity to tubulin were designed and developed, which can form additional hydrogen bond interactions with tubulin. Overall, this work determined the mechanism of action of epothilones and provided a structural basis to design reasonably novel taxane-site inhibitors with simpler structure and improved pharmacokinetic properties.

Disruption of the dynamic equilibrium of microtubules can induce cell cycle arrest in G2/M phase and apoptosis. Hence, discovery of novel tubulin polymerization inhibitors is very necessary and an important task in drug research and development for treatment of various tumors. In this investigation, 50 compounds were screened as microtubule stabilizers targeting the taxane site by combination of molecular docking methods.

Disrupting the dynamics and structures of microtubules can perturb mitotic spindle formation, cause cell cycle arrest in G2/M phase, and subsequently lead to cellular death via apoptosis. In this investigation, the structure-based virtual screening methods, including molecular docking and rescoring, and similarity analysis of interaction molecular fingerprints, were developed to discover novel tubulin inhibitors from ChemDiv database with 1,601,806 compounds. The screened compounds were further filtered by PAINS, ADME/T, Toxscore, SAscore, and Drug-likeness analysis.

Crystal Structure of the Cyclostreptin-Tubulin Adduct: Implications for Tubulin Activation by Taxane-Site Ligands.

Int J Mol Sci

Structural and Chemical Biology Department. Centro de Investigaciones Biológicas, CSIC, Ramiro de Maeztu 9, 28040 Madrid, Spain.

It has been proposed that one of the mechanisms of taxane-site ligand-mediated tubulin activation is modulation of the structure of a switch element (the M-loop) from a disordered form in dimeric tubulin to a folded helical structure in microtubules. Here, we used covalent taxane-site ligands, including cyclostreptin, to gain further insight into this mechanism. The crystal structure of cyclostreptin-bound tubulin reveals covalent binding to βHis229, but no stabilization of the M-loop.
