The fact that we observe a single conformational selection event during binding does not necessarily mean that only a single conformational selection event takes place, even though this is the common assumption. Here we suggest that conformational selection takes place not once in a given binding/allosteric event, but at every step along the allosteric pathway. This view generalizes conformational selection and makes it applicable also to other allosteric events, such as post-translational modifications (PTMs) and photon absorption. Similar to binding, at each step along a propagation pathway, conformational selection is coupled with induced fit which optimizes the interactions. Thus, as in binding, the allosteric effects induced by PTMs and light relate not only to population shift; but to conformational selection as well. Conformational selection and population shift take place conjointly. (c) 2013 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

The mechanism of activation of MEK1 by B-Raf and KSR1

Ryan C. Maloney, Mingzhen Zhang, Yonglan Liu, Hyunbum Jang, Ruth Nussinov

Summary: Interactions between MEK1, B-Raf, and KSR1 are crucial for Ras/Raf/MEK/ERK signaling. Molecular dynamics simulations reveal that the proline-rich loop of MEK1 is essential for the phosphorylation of MEK1 activation loop. In the inactive B-Raf/MEK1 complex, the collapsed A-loop of B-Raf interacts with the P-rich loop and A-loop of MEK1, preventing phosphorylation. In the active B-Raf/MEK1 complex, the P-rich loop moves with the extended A-loop of B-Raf, leading to increased A-loop fluctuation and phosphorylation. KSR1/MEK1 complex has fewer interactions between KSR1 alpha G-helix and MEK1 A-loop, resulting in a more flexible A-loop.

Allostery: Allosteric Cancer Drivers and Innovative Allosteric Drugs

Ruth Nussinov, Mingzhen Zhang, Ryan Maloney, Yonglan Liu, Chung -Jung Tsai, Hyunbum Jang

Summary: This article discusses the principles and applications of allosteric activating mutations and drugs, using examples from the Ras signaling network. Specifically, it focuses on Abl kinase mutations that shift the conformation towards an active state, leading to competition between high affinity ATP and drug binding. Recent pharmacological innovation includes allosteric inhibitors and allosteric heterobifunctional degraders that can destroy targets. The design of chemical linkers in bifunctional degraders allows precise coordination between the target protein and the E3 ubiquitin ligase, enabling innovative drug discovery.

Neurodevelopmental disorders, immunity, and cancer are connected

Ruth Nussinov, Chung-Jung Tsai, Hyunbum Jang

Summary: Immunity plays a crucial role in both neurodevelopmental disorders and cancer, as the immune and nervous systems coevolve during embryonic development. Dysregulated signaling caused by germline or embryonic mutations can lead to changes in chromatin organization and gene accessibility, affecting the expression of essential genes in neurodevelopment. Similarly, dysregulated signaling resulting from somatic mutations contributes to cancer development. Both conditions involve small GTPases and their pathways, as well as dysregulation of TLRs, IL-1, GIT1, and FGFR signaling pathways. However, key differentiating factors are the timing and level of perturbation in specific cell types, indicating chromatin reorganization.

Higher-order interactions of Bcr-Abl can broaden chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) drug repertoire

Yonglan Liu, Mingzhen Zhang, Hyunbum Jang, Ruth Nussinov

Summary: Bcr-Abl, a nonreceptor tyrosine kinase, plays a crucial role in leukemias, particularly chronic myeloid leukemia (CML). The fusion of Bcr and Abl leads to constitutive activation of Bcr-Abl. Oligomerization of Bcr-Abl is critical for its membrane clustering, MAPK signaling, and cell proliferation. Understanding the structural basis of Bcr-Abl oligomerization can guide the development of novel drugs targeting this process.

Strategy toward Kinase-Selective Drug Discovery

Mingzhen Zhang, Yonglan Liu, Hyunbum Jang, Ruth Nussinov

Summary: Kinase drug selectivity is a challenge in cancer research. Researchers propose a protocol to identify unique geometric features in the drug pocket that can distinguish one kinase from others. They analyze the structural principles of kinase drug selectivity using experimental structures and artificial intelligence. The results show that there are binary units in the kinome that can distinguish kinases from each other.

Summary: Neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs) and cancer have similarities in terms of proteins, pathways, and mutations, but have different clinical symptoms. However, individuals with NDDs have a higher likelihood of developing cancer later on. This review explores how shared features can result in different medical conditions and why having an NDD first can increase the chances of malignancy.

Summary: Epidemiological studies show that individuals with neurodevelopmental disorders are more likely to develop certain types of cancer. While these disorders and cancer share proteins, pathways, and mutations, they differ in clinical outcomes. The key factor determining clinical outcome is signaling strength, with strong signaling promoting cell proliferation in cancer and moderate signaling affecting differentiation in neurodevelopmental disorders.

Osmotic stress studies of G-protein-coupled receptor rhodopsin activation

Andrey V. Struts, Alexander V. Barmasov, Steven D. E. Fried, Kushani S. K. Hewage, Suchithranga M. D. C. Perera, Michael F. Brown

Summary: This article summarizes and reviews the osmotic stress studies of G-protein-coupled receptor rhodopsin. It is found that water plays an important role in the activation of the receptor, with at least 80 water molecules entering the receptor in the transition to the active state. If water influx is prevented, the functional transition of the receptor is reversed. These findings reveal the phenomenon of solvent swelling in the activation mechanism of rhodopsin, with water acting as an allosteric modulator of function for rhodopsin-like receptors in lipid membranes.

Palmitoylation modifies transmembrane adaptor protein PAG for ordered lipid environment: A molecular dynamics simulation study

Maria Chiara Saija, Adela Melcrova, Wojciech Pajerski, Itay Schachter, Matti Javanainen, Marek Cebecauer, Lukasz Cwiklik

Summary: We used molecular dynamics simulations to investigate the effects of palmitoylation on a transmembrane peptide in different lipid environments. The study found that palmitoylation reduces the peptide's impact on membrane thickness, particularly in lipid-ordered and boundary environments. The hydrophobic palmitoyl chains on the peptide did not significantly affect membrane hydration. Interestingly, the boundary membrane environment was found to be highly compatible with the palmitoylated peptide. These findings have important implications for understanding cell signaling, membrane organization, and optimizing lipid membrane-based drug delivery systems.
