Abstract
Cotylenin A, a fungal metabolite originally described as a cytokinin-like bioactive substance against plants shows differentiation-inducing and anti-tumor activity in certain human cancers. Here, we present the crystal structure of cotylenin A acting on a 14-3-3 regulatory protein complex. By comparison with the closely related, but non-anticancer agent fusicoccin A, a rationale for the activity of cotylenin A in human cancers is presented. This class of fusicoccane diterpenoids are possible general modulators of 14-3-3 protein-protein interactions. In this regard, specificities for individual 14-3-3/target protein complexes might be achieved by varying the substituent pattern of the diterpene ring system. As the different activities of fusicoccin A and cotylenin A in human cancers suggest, hydroxylation of C12 might be a sufficient determinant of structural specificity.

Fig. 1. Overall structure of dimeric tobacco 14-3-3 complexed to cotylenin A and the H^+-ATPase phosphopeptide QSYpTV. (a) Structure of cotylenin A. (b) Ribbon plot of the 14-3-3 dimer (monomers colored sand and brown) binding two molecules of the H^+-ATPase phosphopeptide (light blue sticks) and cotylenin A (yellow sticks). Each monomer of the anti-parallel 14-3-3 dimer comprises an amphipathic groove that accommodates the phosphopeptide as well as the cotylenin A molecule.

Fig. 2. Binding of the H^+-ATPase phosphopeptide QSYpTV and cotylenin A to the amphipathic groove of 14-3-3. (a) Cotylenin A (yellow, sticks and semi-transparent surface) and the H^+-ATPase phosphopeptide QSYpTV (light blue, sticks and semi-transparent surface) are occupying the entire length of the amphipathic groove of 14-3-3 (sand surface), the extreme C-terminal Val956 of the peptide displays a hydrophobic contact to the tricarbon cycle of the cotylenin molecule. (b) Stereo view of the electron density for cotylenin A bound to 14-3-3 and the C-terminal tail of the H^+-ATPase peptide (QSYpTV-COOH). The peptide and cotylenin A are drawn in ball-and-stick mode, 14-3-3 is displayed as a ribbon (color coding as in a). An omit electron density map of cotylenin A (contoured at 3 σ) is shown in black. (c) Stereo view of a structural overlay of the position of the diterpene molecules and the H^+-ATPase phosphopeptide in the 14-3-3 complex structure with fusicoccin A (blue and magenta, respectively, PDB code 1O9F) and with cotylenin A (yellow and cyan, respectively).
