Molecular Dynamics Study of Conformational Changes of Tankyrase 2 Binding Subsites upon Ligand Binding

Hirano, Yoshinori, Okimoto, Noriaki, Fujita, Shigeo, Taiji, Makoto·2021·ACS Omega

Abstract

The interactions between proteins and ligands are involved in various biological functions. While experimental structures provide key static structural information of ligand-unbound and ligand-bound proteins, dynamic information is often insufficient for understanding the detailed mechanism of protein–ligand binding. Here, we studied the conformational changes of the tankyrase 2 binding pocket upon ligand binding using molecular dynamics simulations of the ligand-unbound and ligand-bound proteins. The ligand-binding pocket has two subsites: the nicotinamide and adenosine subsite. Comparative analysis of these molecular dynamics trajectories revealed that the conformational change of the ligand-binding pocket was characterized by four distinct conformations of the ligand-binding pocket. Two of the four conformations were observed only in molecular dynamics simulations. We found that the pocket conformational change on ligand binding was based on the connection between the nicotinamide and adenosine subsites that are located adjacently in the pocket. From the analysis, we proposed the protein–ligand binding mechanism of tankyrase 2. Finally, we discussed the computational prediction of the ligand binding pose using the tankyrase 2 structures obtained from the molecular dynamics simulations.

Figure 1 X-ray crystallographic structures of the pocket conformation of tankyrase2-olaparib (TNKS2–OLA) complex, tankyrase2-XAV939 (TNKS2–XAV) complex, and unbound-tankyrase2 (apo-TNKS2). The X-ray crystallographic structures of pocket conformations of the TNKS2–OLA complex, the TNKS2–XAV complex, and apo-TNKS2 are shown in left, center, and right panels, respectively. Top figures show the conformations of the ligand binding pockets. Several key residues (Gly1032, Phe1035, His1048, Tyr1050, Tyr1060, Ser1068, and Tyr1071) are shown using a green stick model. The α3 helix, D-loop, and G-loop regions are shown in magenta. The bound ligands are shown using a ball-and-stick model in cyan. The black dotted lines indicate the distance between the geometric center of the Tyr1050 phenyl ring and that of the Tyr1070 (the ring distance of Tyr1050–Tyr1071) (Å) and the minimum distances between Phe1035 and His1048 (the minimum distance of Phe1035–His1048) (Å). The middle figures show the ligand binding pockets depicted using a molecular surface representation. The hydrophilic and lipophilic regions are drawn in purple and green, respectively. The bottom figures illustrate the structural formula of each ligand. The black dotted lines with numerals represent the distances of hydrogen bonds between the ligand and the amino acids in the binding pocket. AD, adenosine subsite; NI, nicotinamide subsite.

Figure 2 Representative conformation of apo-TNKS2 during the last 550 ns (250–800 ns) of MD trajectory. (Left) The ligand binding pocket is depicted using a ribbon model. Several key residues (Gly1032, Phe1035, His1048, Tyr1050, Tyr1060, Ser1068, and Tyr1071) are shown using a green stick model. The α3 helix, D-loop, and G-loop regions are shown in magenta.

This conformation shows that the NI-closed/AD-closed formed because the AD subsite remained in the closed conformation and the NI subsites became narrow compared to those observed in the experimental structure of apo-TNKS2 (Figure 1 and Table S1).

Figure 3 PCA of pocket conformation using MD trajectories of apo-TNKS2, TNKS2–XAV complex, and TNKS2–OLA complex. For the PCA, the first 250 ns of the MD trajectory of apo-TNKS2 and 800 ns trajectories of the TNKS2–XAV complex and the TNKS2–OLA complex were used. The left panel shows the MD trajectories projected onto the plane of the first two components (PC1 and PC2). The contribution ratios of PC1 and PC2 were 44 and 7%, respectively. The black circles represent the projections of the representative conformations of the ligand binding pocket. (A–F) were determined based on the PC1 value histogram shown in Figure 5, and these correspond to conformations of (A–F) of Figure 6. The black circles of 3KR7, 3KR8, and 3U9Y correspond to the ligand-binding pockets of X-ray crystallographic structures of apo-TNKS2, the TNKS2–XAV complex, and the TNKS2–OLA complex. The right panel shows the motions corresponding to the two eigenvectors, respectively. The red regions indicate the position of the 21 amino acid residues used for PCA (see the Methods section). The blue and green arrows represent the motions of PC1 and PC2, respectively.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
