Structural Effects of Fusicoccin upon Upregulation of 14-3-3-Phospholigand Interaction and Cytotoxic Activity.
Chemistry : a European Journal 2018 October 27
Fusicoccins (FCs) exhibit various cellular activities in mammalian cells, but details of the mechanism of action are not fully understood. In this study, we synthesized two pairs of model derivatives of FCs differing only in the presence and absence of a 12-hydroxyl group and evaluated their binding to a 14-3-3 protein together with various mode 1 and mode 3 phosphopeptide ligands. Our results demonstrate that the 12-hydroxyl group hampers binding to 14-3-3 with mode 1 phospholigands, presumably due to steric repulsion with the i+2 residue. Furthermore, cell-based evaluations showed that only non-substituted FCs exhibit significant cytotoxicity and all 12-hydroxyl derivatives were inactive, demonstrating a clear correlation with their ability to form ternary complexes with 14-3-3 and a mode 1 ligand. These results suggest that binding to 14-3-3 and a partner protein(s) possessing a mode 1 sequence plays a role in the mechanism of action of 12-non-substituted FCs.
