14-3-3 in complex with Pyrin pS208
Structural highlights
Function1433S_HUMAN Adapter protein implicated in the regulation of a large spectrum of both general and specialized signaling pathways. Binds to a large number of partners, usually by recognition of a phosphoserine or phosphothreonine motif. Binding generally results in the modulation of the activity of the binding partner. When bound to KRT17, regulates protein synthesis and epithelial cell growth by stimulating Akt/mTOR pathway (By similarity). p53-regulated inhibitor of G2/M progression. Publication Abstract from PubMedOveractivation of Pyrin is the cause of the inflammatory diseases Mediterranean Fever and Pyrin-associated autoinflammation with neutrophilic dermatosis (PAAND). Binding of 14-3-3 proteins reduces the pro-inflammatory activity of Pyrin, hence small molecules that stabilize the Pyrin/14-3-3 complex could convey an anti-inflammatory effect. We have solved the atomic resolution crystal structures of phosphorylated peptides derived from PyrinpS208 and PyrinpS242 - the two principle 14-3-3 binding sites in Pyrin - in complex with 14-3-3 and analyzed the ligandability of these protein-peptide interfaces by crystal-based fragment soaking. The complex between 14-3-3 and PyrinpS242 appears to be much more amenable for small-molecule binding than that of 14-3-3/PyrinpS208. Consequently, only for the 14-3-3/PyrinpS242 complex could we find an interface-binding fragment, validating protein crystallography and fragment soaking as a method to evaluate the ligandability of protein surfaces.
