The protein-protein interaction between the KIX motif of the transcriptional coactivator CBP/p300 and the transcriptional activator Myb is a high-value target due to its established role in certain acute myeloid leukemias (AML) and potential contributions to other cancers. However, the CBP/p300 KIX domain has multiple binding sites, several structural homologues, many binding partners, and substantial conformational plasticity, making it challenging to specifically target using small-molecule inhibitors. Here, we report a picomolar dual-site inhibitor (MybLL-tide) of the Myb-CBP/p300 KIX interaction. MybLL-tide has higher affinity for CBP/p300 KIX than any previously reported compounds while also possessing 5600-fold selectivity for the CBP/p300 KIX domain over other coactivator domains. MybLL-tide blocks the association of CBP and p300 with Myb in the context of the proteome, leading to inhibition of key Myb·KIX-dependent genes in AML cells. These results show that MybLL-tide is an effective, modifiable tool to selectively target the KIX domain and assess transcriptional effects in AML cells and potentially other cancers featuring aberrant Myb behavior. Additionally, the dual-site design has applicability to the other challenging coactivators that bear multiple binding surfaces.

CBP/p300 is a master transcriptional coactivator that regulates gene activation by interacting with multiple transcriptional activators. Dysregulation of protein-protein interactions (PPIs) between the CBP/p300 KIX domain and its activators is implicated in a number of cancers, including breast, leukemia, and colorectal cancer. However, KIX is typically considered "undruggable" because of its shallow binding surfaces lacking both significant topology and promiscuous binding profiles.

Natural products are often uniquely suited to modulate protein-protein interactions (PPIs) due to their architectural and functional group complexity relative to synthetic molecules. Here we demonstrate that the natural product garcinolic acid allosterically blocks the CBP/p300 KIX PPI network and displays excellent selectivity over related GACKIX motifs. It does so via a strong interaction (K 1 μM) with a non-canonical binding site containing a structurally dynamic loop in CBP/p300 KIX.

The E-protein transcription factors guide immune cell differentiation, with E12 and E47 (hereafter called E2A) being essential for B-cell specification and maturation. E2A and the oncogenic chimera E2A-PBX1 contain three transactivation domains (ADs), with AD1 and AD2 having redundant, independent, and cooperative functions in a cell-dependent manner. AD1 and AD2 both mediate their functions by binding to the KIX domain of the histone acetyltransferase paralogues CREB-binding protein (CBP) and E1A-binding protein P300 (p300).

Incorporation of F into proteins allows for the study of their molecular interactions via NMR. The study of F labeled aromatic amino acids has largely focused on 4-,5-, or 6-fluorotryptophan, 4-fluorophenylalanine, (4,5, or 6FW) or 3-fluorotyrosine (3FY), whereas 2-fluorotyrosine (2FY) has remained largely understudied. Here we report a comparative analysis with different fluorinated amino acids.
