ERBB receptors contain an extracellular domain (ECD), a transmembrane domain (TMD), an intracellular region that consists of a juxtamembrane domain (JMD), a kinase domain (KD) and a carboxy terminal tail domain (CTD) (Kovacs et al., 2015). The ECD is comprised of four subdomains (I-IV). In the absence of ligand, the ECD adopts an auto-inhibited tethered (closed) conformation that involves domain II and IV. Upon ligand binding between domains I and III, the dimerization arm in domain II is untethered, leading to receptor homo or heterodimerization, allosteric kinase activation, CTD phosphorylation and downstream signaling (Kovacs et al., 2015).

HER2 is an atypical member of the ERBB family, as its ECD adopts an untethered conformation constitutively (Roskoski, 2014). Unlike the other ERBB family members, HER2 does not have a ligand. HER2 preferentially heterodimerizes with ligand bound untethered (open) HER3 or EGFR to initiate cellular signaling, although HER2 homodimers capable of signaling have been reported in HER2 overexpressing cells (Brennan et al., 2000; Roskoski, 2014).

TMD possesses an amphiphilic quality resulting from a stretch of polar residues along one face of the N-terminus of the TMD helix (S649, T652, S653, S656. The most frequent mutations identified in patient data set (V659E and G660D/R) extend this polar strip. This observation implies the polar character of these mutations amplifies intrinsic properties of the native TMD which may be an essential feature leading to the activating effect of these mutations on HER2.

Proper positioning of the S656-xxx-G660 motif for productive TMD dimer formation is highly dependent on the orientation and geometry of the monomeric TMD helices, defined by basic residues near the interfacial regions between the cytoplasm and head group region of the bilayer (Gleason et al., 2013; Hristova and Wimley, 2011; Kim et al., 2011). Activating HER2 mutations such as R678Q might have a significant effect on the TMD geometry and dimerization. This was tested by performing all-atom 100 ns MD simulations for wild-type (WT) and the WT/R678Q HER2 TMD dimers in a phospholipid bilayer. The coordinates of the HER2 TM dimer in the putative activated conformation determined by NMR (PDB ID: 2JWA) were used as the starting positions in the simulations. The conformation of the WT HER2 TMD homodimer (WT/WT) remains stable over the course of the simulation. In the WT/R678Q TMD heterodimer, the S656-xxx-G660 motif remained engaged for the duration of the simulation, albeit through different interactions. However, the R678Q containing region of the C-termini separated by several angstroms compared to the WT homodimer (Figure 4). Despite these differences, in both WT/WT and WT/R678Q dimers, the conformations observed in the final state are consistent with a geometry proposed to support an activated, asymmetric configuration of the cytoplasmic kinase domains, and suggests that the enhanced activity of the mutant may be the result of its stabilizing effect on the specific heterodimeric configuration required for signaling.

A second possibility is that oncogenic mutations are able to stabilize an alternate activated dimeric TMD conformation. It is well known that polar interactions strongly support helix association both in conformations that cooperate with small Sm-xxx-Sm motif dimerization or in entirely unique geometries (Brooks et al., 2014; Goldberg et al., 2010; Gordeliy et al., 2002). To see the effect of a polar mutation on HER2 TMD dimers the G660D mutant was simulated. MD simulations demonstrated that the introduction of the protonated aspartate disrupts the native dimeric configuration (Figure 4). In five independent 100 ns simulations, the TMD dimer configuration gradually drifted away from the starting configuration sampled for WT/WT HER2 and without achieving a common final state. On a 100 ns time scale it was not possible, however, to predict with certainty the final geometry of a HER2 TMD dimer in the presence of the G660D/R mutations, but these results suggest that polar mutations at position 660 alter the WT HER2 TMD geometry.

To understand the activating effect of the juxtamembrane latch mutant, Q709L, the interface between the juxtamembrane latch and the C-lobe of the activator kinase was analysed in a model of the HER2 homodimer constructed using the crystal structure of the EGFR/HER3 heterodimer (PDB ID: 4RIW) in which HER3 in the activator position was replaced with the HER2 kinase domain (PDB ID: 3PP0), and the juxtamembrane latch sequence of EGFR in the receiver position was replaced with that of HER2 (Figure 5). From this model it was observed that Q709 does not optimally participate in the dimer interface. Calculation of the HER2 C-lobe electrostatic surface reveals a hydrophobic pocket in the vicinity of the large polar side chain of Q709 likely suboptimal for hydrophobic packing between the C-lobe and the juxtamembrane latch. In contrast, the presence of a hydrophobic side chain such as leucine appears to be more optimal for favorable interactions with such a hydrophobic pocket, and is predicted to stabilize the dimerization interface essential for the allosteric activation of HER receptor kinase activity.
