In this work, we combined computational protein-protein docking with computational and experimental mutagenesis to predict the structure of the complex formed by monoclonal antibody 806 (mAb 806) and the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR). We docked mAb 806, an antitumor antibody, to its epitope of EGFR residues 287–302. Potential mAb 806-EGFR orientations were generated, and computational mutagenesis...
Heterochromatin protein-1 (HP1) plays an essential role in both the assembly of higher-order chromatin structure and epigenetic inheritance. The C-terminal chromo shadow domain (CSD) of HP1 is responsible for homodimerization and interaction with a number of chromatin-associated nonhistone proteins, including EMSY, which is a BRCA2-interacting protein that has been implicated in the development of...
The novel Ras effector mNore1, capable of inducing apoptosis, is a multidomain protein. It comprises a C1 domain homologous to PKC and an RA domain similar to the Ras effectors AF-6 and RalGDS. Here, we determine the affinity of these two domains to the active forms of Ras and Rap1 using isothermal calorimetric titration. The interaction of Ras/Rap1-GTP with the RA domain of mNore1 is weakened significantly...
ABCG2 is a multidrug efflux pump associated with resistance of cancer cells to a plethora of unrelated drugs. ABCG2 is a “half-transporter,” and previous studies have indicated that it forms homodimers and higher oligomeric species. In this manuscript, electron microscopic structural analysis directly addressed this issue. An N-terminal hexahistidine-tagged ABCG2 R482G isoform was expressed...
Similar binding sites often imply similar protein-protein interactions and similar functions; however, similar binding sites may also constitute traps for nonfunctional associations. How are similar sites distinguished to prevent misassociations? BRCT domains from breast cancer-susceptibility gene product BRCA1 and protein 53BP1 have similar structures yet different binding behaviors with p53 core...
Gankyrin is an oncoprotein commonly overexpressed in most hepatocellular carcinomas. Gankyrin interacts with S6 ATPase of the 19S regulatory particle of the 26S proteasome and enhances the degradation of the tumor suppressors pRb and p53. Here, we report the structure of gankyrin in complex with the C-terminal domain of S6 ATPase. Almost all of the seven ankyrin repeats of gankyrin interact, through...
The cancer drug imatinib inhibits the tyrosine kinases c-Abl, c-Kit, and the PDGF receptor. Imatinib is less effective against c-Src, which is difficult to understand because residues interacting with imatinib in crystal structures of Abl and c-Kit are conserved in c-Src. The crystal structure of the c-Src kinase domain in complex with imatinib closely resembles that of Abl•imatinib and c-Kit•imatinib,...
Specific and potent caspase inhibitors are indispensable for the dissection of the intricate pathways leading to apoptosis. We selected a designed ankyrin repeat protein (DARPin) from a combinatorial library that inhibits caspase-2 in vitro with a subnanomolar inhibition constant and, in contrast to the peptidic caspase inhibitors, with very high specificity for this particular caspase. The crystal...
ASPP1 and ASPP2 are activators of p53-dependent apoptosis, whereas iASPP is an inhibitor of p53. Binding assays showed differential binding for C-terminal domains of iASPP and ASPP2 to the core domains of p53 family members p53, p63, and p73. We also determined a high-resolution crystal structure for the C terminus of iASPP, comprised of four ankyrin repeats and an SH3 domain. The crystal lattice...
The ClpA chaperone combines with the ClpP peptidase to perform targeted proteolysis in the bacterial cytoplasm. ClpA monomer has an N-terminal substrate-binding domain and two AAA+ ATPase domains (D1 and D2). ClpA hexamers stack axially on ClpP heptamers to form the symmetry-mismatched protease. We used cryo-electron microscopy to visualize the ClpA-ATPγS hexamer, in the context of ClpAP complexes...
