Engineering a Protein Binder Specific for p38α with Interface Expansion.

Abstract:

:Protein binding specificities can be manipulated by redesigning contacts that already exist at an interface or by expanding the interface to allow interactions with residues adjacent to the original binding site. Previously, we developed a strategy, called AnchorDesign, for expanding interfaces around linear binding epitopes. The epitope is embedded in a loop of a scaffold protein, in our case a monobody, and then surrounding residues on the monobody are optimized for binding using directed evolution or computational design. Using this strategy, we have increased binding affinities by >100-fold, but we have not tested whether it can be used to control protein binding specificities. Here, we test whether AnchorDesign can be used to engineer a monobody that binds specifically to the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) p38α but not to the related MAPKs ERK2 and JNK. To anchor the binding interaction, we used a small (D) docking motif from the mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase (MAP2K) MKK6 that interacts with similar affinity with p38α and ERK2. Our hypothesis was that by embedding the motif in a larger protein that we could expand the interface and create contacts with residues that are not conserved between p38α and ERK2. Molecular modeling was used to inform insertion of the D motif into the monobody, and a combination of phage and yeast display were used to optimize the interface. Binding experiments demonstrate that the engineered monobody binds to the target surface on p38α and does not exhibit detectable binding to ERK2 or JNK.
