Abstract:
:Many membrane-associated proteins are involved in various signaling pathways, including the phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) pathway, which has key roles in diverse cellular processes. Disruption of the activities of these proteins is involved in the development of disease in humans, making these proteins promising targets for drug development. In most cases, the catalytic domain is targeted; however, it is also possible to target membrane associations in order to regulate protein activity. In this study, we established a novel method to study protein-lipid interactions and screened for flavonoid-derived antagonists of PtdIns(3,4,5)P3 binding with the phosphoinositide-dependent kinase 1 (PDK1) pleckstrin homology (PH) domain. Using an enhanced green fluorescent protein (eGFP)-tagged PDK1 PH domain and 50% sucrose-loaded liposomes, the protein-lipid interaction could be efficiently evaluated using liposome pull-down assays coupled with fluorescence spectrophotometry, and a total of 32 flavonoids were screened as antagonists for PtdIns(3,4,5)P3 binding with the PDK1 PH domain. From this analysis, we found that two adjunct hydroxyl groups in the C ring were responsible for the inhibitory effects of the flavonoids. Because the flavonoids shared structural similarities, the results were then subjected to quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) analysis. The results were then further confirmed by in silico docking experiments. Taken together, our strategy presented herein to screen antagonists targeting lipid-protein interactions could be an alternative method for identification and characterization of drug candidates.
