IDHC_HUMAN Defects in IDH1 are involved in the development of glioma (GLM) [MIM:137800. Gliomas are central nervous system neoplasms derived from glial cells and comprise astrocytomas, glioblastoma multiforme, oligodendrogliomas, and ependymomas. Note=Mutations affecting Arg-132 are tissue-specific, and suggest that this residue plays a unique role in the development of high-grade gliomas. Mutations of Arg-132 to Cys, His, Leu or Ser abolish magnesium binding and abolish the conversion of isocitrate to alpha-ketoglutarate. Instead, alpha-ketoglutarate is converted to R(-)-2-hydroxyglutarate. Elevated levels of R(-)-2-hydroxyglutarate are correlated with an elevated risk of malignant brain tumors.

Publication Abstract from PubMed
We report bio-structural, bio-chemical and bio-physical evidence demonstrating how small molecules can bind to both wild-type and mutant IDH1, but only inhibit the enzymatic activity of the mutant isoform. Enabled through x-ray crystallography, we characterized a series of small molecule inhibitors that bound to mutant IDH1 differently than the marketed inhibitor Ivosidenib, for which we have determined the x-ray crystal structure. Across the industry several mutant IDH1 inhibitor chemotypes bind to this allosteric IDH1 pocket and selectively inhibit the mutant enzyme. Detailed characterization by a variety of biophysical techniques and NMR studies led us to propose how compounds binding in the allosteric IDH1 R132H pocket inhibit the production of 2-Hydroxy glutarate.
