Proprotein convertase substilisin-like/kexin type 9 (PCSK9) is a serine protease involved in a protein-protein interaction with the low-density lipoprotein (LDL) receptor that has both human genetic and clinical validation. Blocking this protein-protein interaction prevents LDL receptor degradation and thereby decreases LDL cholesterol levels. Our pursuit of small-molecule direct binders for this difficult to drug PPI target utilized affinity selection/mass spectrometry, which identified one confirmed hit compound. An X-ray crystal structure revealed that this compound was binding in an unprecedented allosteric pocket located between the catalytic and C-terminal domain. Optimization of this initial hit, using two distinct strategies, led to compounds with high binding affinity to PCSK9. Direct target engagement was demonstrated in the cell lysate with a cellular thermal shift assay. Finally, ligand-induced protein degradation was shown with a proteasome recruiting tag attached to the high-affinity allosteric ligand for PCSK9.

从筛选到目标降解:发现和优化PCSK9小分子配体的策略。

前蛋白转化酶类促肾上腺素样/ kexin型9(PCSK9)是一种丝氨酸蛋白酶,参与蛋白质与低密度脂蛋白(LDL)受体的相互作用,具有人类遗传和临床验证。阻止这种蛋白质-蛋白质相互作用可防止LDL受体降解,从而降低LDL胆固醇水平。我们针对这种难以药物化的PPI目标的小分子直接结合剂的追求利用了亲和力选择/质谱法,该方法鉴定了一种已确认的命中化合物。X射线晶体结构表明该化合物结合在位于催化和C-末端结构域之间的空前的变构口袋中。使用两种截然不同的策略对这一初始命中值进行优化,可得到对PCSK9具有高结合亲和力的化合物。通过细胞热位移测定法证明了细胞裂解物中的直接靶标参与。最后,用蛋白酶体募集标签显示了配体诱导的蛋白质降解,该标签附着在PCSK9的高亲和力变构配体上。
