Crystal structure of YTHDF2 with compound YLI_DF_042
Structural highlights
FunctionYTHD2_HUMAN Specifically recognizes and binds N6-methyladenosine (m6A)-containing RNAs. M6A is a modification present at internal sites of mRNAs and some non-coding RNAs and plays a role in the efficiency of mRNA splicing, processing and stability. Acts as a regulator of mRNA stability: binding to m6A-containing mRNAs results in the localization of to mRNA decay sites, such as processing bodies (P-bodies), leading to mRNA degradation.[1] [2] Publication Abstract from PubMedWe report 17 small-molecule ligands that compete with N6-methyladenosine (m(6)A) for binding to the m(6)A-reader domain of YTHDF2 (YT521-B homology domain family 2). We determined their binding mode at high resolution by X-ray crystallography and quantified their affinity by a fluorescence-based binding assay. 6-Cyclopropyluracil and a pyrazolopyrimidine derivative have favorable ligand efficiencies of 0.47 and 0.38 kcal mol(-1) per non-hydrogen atom, respectively. They represent useful starting points for hit optimization.
