Disease[EGLN1_HUMAN] Defects in EGLN1 are the cause of familial erythrocytosis type 3 (ECYT3) [MIM:609820]. ECYT3 is an autosomal dominant disorder characterized by increased serum red blood cell mass, elevated serum hemoglobin and hematocrit, and normal serum erythropoietin levels.[1] [2] Function[EGLN1_HUMAN] Cellular oxygen sensor that catalyzes, under normoxic conditions, the post-translational formation of 4-hydroxyproline in hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF) alpha proteins. Hydroxylates a specific proline found in each of the oxygen-dependent degradation (ODD) domains (N-terminal, NODD, and C-terminal, CODD) of HIF1A. Also hydroxylates HIF2A. Has a preference for the CODD site for both HIF1A and HIF1B. Hydroxylated HIFs are then targeted for proteasomal degradation via the von Hippel-Lindau ubiquitination complex. Under hypoxic conditions, the hydroxylation reaction is attenuated allowing HIFs to escape degradation resulting in their translocation to the nucleus, heterodimerization with HIF1B, and increased expression of hypoxy-inducible genes. EGLN1 is the most important isozyme under normoxia and, through regulating the stability of HIF1, involved in various hypoxia-influenced processes such as angiogenesis in retinal and cardiac functionality.[3] [4] [5] [6] [7] Publication Abstract from PubMedA combination of structure-based drug design and medicinal chemistry efforts led us from benzimidazole-2-carboxamide with modestly active hypoxia-inducible factor prolyl hydroxylase 2 inhibition to certain benzimidazole-2-pyrazole carboxylic acids that were more potent as well as orally efficacious stimulators of erythropoietin secretion in our in vivo mouse model. To better understand the structure-activity relationship, it was necessary to account for (i) the complexation of the ligand with the active site Fe(2+), (ii) the strain incurred by the ligand upon binding, and (iii) certain key water interactions identified by a crystal structure analysis. With this more complete computational model, we arrived at an overarching paradigm that accounted for the potency differences between benzimidazole-2-carboxamide and benzimidazole-2-pyrazole carboxylic acid enzyme inhibitors. Moreover, the computational paradigm allowed us to anticipate that the bioisostere replacement strategy (amide --> pyrazole), which had shown success in the benzimidazole series, was not generally applicable to other series. This illustrates that to fully reconcile the important ligand-active site interactions for certain targets, one often needs to move beyond traditional structure-based drug design (such as crystallographic analysis, docking, etc.) and appeal to a higher level of computational theory.
