Co-crystal structure of KRIT1 with a 1-hydroxy 2-naphthaldehyde derivative (6-(furan-2-yl)-2-hydroxy-1-naphthaldehyde).
Structural highlights
FunctionRAP1B_HUMAN GTP-binding protein that possesses intrinsic GTPase activity. Contributes to the polarizing activity of KRIT1 and CDH5 in the establishment and maintenance of correct endothelial cell polarity and vascular lumen. Required for the localization of phosphorylated PRKCZ, PARD3 and TIAM1 to the cell junction.[1] [2] Publication Abstract from PubMedThe covalent reversible modification of proteins is a validated strategy for the development of probes and candidate therapeutics. However, the covalent reversible targeting of noncatalytic lysines is particularly challenging. Herein, we characterize the 2-hydroxy-1-naphthaldehyde (HNA) fragment as a targeted covalent reversible ligand of a noncatalytic lysine (Lys(720)) of the Krev interaction trapped 1 (KRIT1) protein. We show that the interaction of HNA with KRIT1 is highly specific, results in prolonged residence time of >8 h, and inhibits the Heart of glass 1 (HEG1)-KRIT1 protein-protein interaction (PPI). Screening of HNA derivatives identified analogs exhibiting similar binding modes as the parent fragment but faster target engagement and stronger inhibition activity. These results demonstrate that HNA is an efficient site-directing fragment with promise in developing HEG1-KRIT1 PPI inhibitors. Further, the aldimine chemistry, when coupled with templating effects that promote proximity, can produce a long-lasting reversible covalent modification of noncatalytic lysines.
