Abstract
Protein kinases require strict inactivation to prevent spurious cellular signaling; overactivity can cause cancer or other diseases and necessitates selective inhibition for therapy. Rho-kinase is involved in such processes as tumor invasion, cell adhesion, smooth muscle contraction, and formation of focal adhesion fibers, as revealed using inhibitor Y-27632. Another Rho-kinase inhibitor, HA-1077 or Fasudil, is currently used in the treatment of cerebral vasospasm; the related nanomolar inhibitor H-1152P improves on its selectivity and potency. We have determined the crystal structures of HA-1077, H-1152P, and Y-27632 in complexes with protein kinase A (PKA) as a surrogate kinase to analyze Rho-kinase inhibitor binding properties. Features conserved between PKA and Rho-kinase are involved in the key binding interactions, while a combination of residues at the ATP binding pocket that are unique to Rho-kinase may explain the inhibitors' Rho-kinase selectivity. Further, a second H-1152P binding site potentially points toward PKA regulatory domain interaction modulators.
Figure 6.
Figure 6. Comparison of HA-1077 and H-1152POverlay of HA-1077 and H-1152P demonstrates the colocalization of the isoquinoline atoms with respect to the surrounding residues. Both inhibitor molecules form an H bond to the backbone amide of Val123 in the hinge region. The position of the homopiperazine rings, however, diverge by ca. 1.5 Å. Consequently, H bonds between the homopiperazine nitrogen and Glu127 and Glu170 are formed only in the PKA-1077 complex. The contact between C10 and Thr183, which prevents as a steric clash a HA-1077-like positioning of the H-1152P homopiperazine ring, is shown as a red double arrow.
