Fibroblast Growth Factor Receptor/Ponatinib (4uxq)

by Julie Boshar, Emily Boyle, Nicole Kirby, Cory Thomas, Connor Walsh

Student Projects for UMass Chemistry 423 Spring 2016

Introduction

•Plays a role in a variety of cancers

•Ponatinib is a drug prescribed to patients with chronic myeloid leukemia and Philadelphia-chromosome positive active lymphoblastic leukemia. Although, it has recently shown side effects causing blood clots and narrowing blood vessels.

•FGFR plays a role in the signaling system with FGF by initiating signaling cascades that control development and tissue repair. The disruption of this signaling system is involved in tumor growth [3]

•While most inhibitors are selective for FGFR1-3 and show a reduced binding to FGFR4, Ponatinib binds to FGFR4 [3]

•Ponatinib is a Bcr-Abl tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) [3]

Overall Structure

•Ligands: SO4, 0LI [C29 H27 F3 N6 O]

•Identical amino acid sequence to cI44 with the exception of 1 residue. [1]

Binding Interactions

•Ponatinib binds to the "DFG-out" conformation of Bcr-Abl, where the Phe (F) is out of its hydrophobic pocket [3]

•To bind there must be a a conformational rearrangement of the conserved Asp630-Phe631-Gly632 (DFG) tripeptide motif at the proximal end of the activation loop [3]

Additional Features

• FGFR-4 is abundantly present in human prostate cancer

•Variant of FGFR-4 with (Arg(388)) replacing (Gly(388)) is associated with increased human prostate cancer. This causes increased receptor stability and activation. [2]
