Abstract
|
 |
|
Laulimalide and peloruside A are microtubule-stabilizing agents (MSAs), the
mechanism of action on microtubules of which is poorly defined. Here, using
X-ray crystallography it is shown that laulimalide and peloruside A bind to a
unique non-taxane site on β-tubulin and use their respective macrolide core
structures to interact with a second tubulin dimer across protofilaments. At the
same time, they allosterically stabilize the taxane-site M-loop that establishes
lateral tubulin contacts in microtubules. Structures of ternary complexes of
tubulin with laulimalide/peloruside A and epothilone A are also solved, and
a crosstalk between the laulimalide/peloruside and taxane sites via the M-loop
of β-tubulin is found. Together, the data define the mechanism of action of
laulimalide and peloruside A on tubulin and microtubules. The data further
provide a structural framework for understanding the synergy observed between
two classes of MSAs in tubulin assembly and the inhibition of cancer cell growth.
