CMKLR1 与 chemerin 及 α-NETA 复合体结构预测

CMKLR1 with Chemerin or α-NETA Complex Structure Predict

  • 摘要: 他扎罗替尼诱导基因 2(tazarotene-induced gene 2, TIG2)的产物 chemerin 是孤儿 G 蛋白耦联受体趋化因子样受体 1(chemokine-like receptor 1, CMKLR1)的内源性配体。chemerin/CMKLR1 信号系统在体内多组织器官发挥着重要的功能和作用。chemerin 的 C 端在体内被蛋白酶切后形成多种亚型, 该文通过 Alphafold2 对 chemerin 的 6 种亚型进行结构预测与建模, 并将其中有活性的 3 种形式与 CMKLR1 进行复合体建模, 对复合体进行结合位点分析后, 阐明不同活性形式的差异结合位点。此外, 将 CMKLR1 的小分子拮抗剂 2-(α-萘甲酰基)乙基三甲基碘化铵(2-(α-naphthoyl) ethyltrimethylammonium iodide, α-NETA)与 CMKLR1 进行对接, 确定二者的相互结合位置。实验结果从蛋白质分子结构层面解释了两点:(1)具有活性的 chemerin 与 CMKLR1 的互作方式;(2)小分子拮抗剂 α-NETA 与 CMKLR1 的互作方式。研究内容将为 CMKLR1 的靶向药物设计提供理论依据和实验基础。

     

    Abstract: Chemerin, derived from tazarotenib-induced gene 2 (TIG2), is an endogenous ligand for the orphan G protein-coupled receptor chemokine-like receptor 1 (CMKLR1). Chemerin/CMKLR1 signaling system plays an important role in multiple tissues and organs, and there are multiple chemerin isoforms in vivo due to the C-terminal proteolysis by several proteases. This paper predicted and modeled the structure of six isoforms of chemerin by Alphafold2, and modeled three active isoforms in complex with CMKLR1, to elucidate the different binding sites of different isoforms. Additionally, the known small molecule antagonist of CMKLR1, 2-(α-naphthoyl) ethyltrimethylammonium iodide (α-NETA), was also modeled to dock with CMKLR1, and the binding sites of α-NETA with CMKLR1 were analyzed. From the protein molecular structure level, our results provide: (1) The mode of interaction between active chemerin and CMKLR1;(2) The mode of interaction between α-NETA and CMKLR1. This study provides theoretical basis and experimental basis for the design of targeted drugs for CMKLR1.
