The crystal structure of PDE6D in complex to inhibitor-4
Structural highlights
FunctionPDE6D_HUMAN Acts as a GTP specific dissociation inhibitor (GDI). Increases the affinity of ARL3 for GTP by several orders of magnitude and does so by decreasing the nucleotide dissociation rate. Stabilizes Arl3-GTP by decreasing the nucleotide dissociation (By similarity). Publication Abstract from PubMedSmall-molecule inhibition of the interaction between the KRas oncoprotein and the chaperone PDE6delta impairs KRas spatial organization and signaling in cells. However, despite potent binding in vitro (KD <10 nm), interference with Ras signaling and growth inhibition require 5-20 mum compound concentrations. We demonstrate that these findings can be explained by fast release of high-affinity inhibitors from PDE6delta by the release factor Arl2. This limitation is overcome by novel highly selective inhibitors that bind to PDE6delta with up to 7 hydrogen bonds, resulting in picomolar affinity. Their release by Arl2 is greatly decreased, and representative compounds selectively inhibit growth of KRas mutated and -dependent cells with the highest activity recorded yet. Our findings indicate that very potent inhibitors of the KRas-PDE6delta interaction may impair the growth of tumors driven by oncogenic KRas.
