TEAD2 with a covalent inhibitor
Structural highlights
FunctionTEAD2_HUMAN Transcription factor which plays a key role in the Hippo signaling pathway, a pathway involved in organ size control and tumor suppression by restricting proliferation and promoting apoptosis. The core of this pathway is composed of a kinase cascade wherein MST1/MST2, in complex with its regulatory protein SAV1, phosphorylates and activates LATS1/2 in complex with its regulatory protein MOB1, which in turn phosphorylates and inactivates YAP1 oncoprotein and WWTR1/TAZ. Acts by mediating gene expression of YAP1 and WWTR1/TAZ, thereby regulating cell proliferation, migration and epithelial mesenchymal transition (EMT) induction. Binds to the SPH and GT-IIC 'enhansons' (5'-GTGGAATGT-3'). May be involved in the gene regulation of neural development. Binds to the M-CAT motif.[1] [2] Publication Abstract from PubMedThe transcription factor YAP-TEAD is the downstream effector of the Hippo pathway which controls cell proliferation, apoptosis, tissue repair, and organ growth. Dysregulation of the Hippo pathway has been correlated with carcinogenic processes. A co-crystal structure of TEAD with its endogenous ligand palmitic acid (PA) as well as with flufenamic acid (FA) has been disclosed. Here we report the development of HC-258, which derives from FA and possesses an oxopentyl chain that mimics a molecule of PA as well as an acrylamide that reacts covalently with TEAD's cysteine. HC-258 reduces the CTGF, CYR61, AXL, and NF2 transcript levels and inhibits the migration of MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cells. Co-crystallization with hTEAD2 confirmed that HC-258 binds within TEAD's PA pocket, where it forms a covalent bond with its cysteine.
