Abstract:
Protein kinase CK2 has been considered as an attractive therapeutic target of cancer therapy. The tricyclic quinoline compound CX-4945 is the first representative of CK2 inhibitors used in human clinical trials. The binding of non-2,6-naphtyridine substituted compounds 27e (IC50 > 500 nM) and 27h (IC50 > 1000 nM) to CK2 is abolished. However, the unbinding mechanisms due to the key pharmacophore group replacement of compounds 27e and 27h are unveiled. In the present work, combined computational analysis was performed to investigate the underlying structural basis of the low-affinity of two systems. As indicated in the results, the loss of hydrogen bonds between the non-2,6-naphtyridine and the hinge region destroyed the proper recognition of the two complexes. Besides, the allosteric mechanisms between the deviated ligands and the changed regions (G-loop, C-loop and beta 4/beta 5 loop) are proposed. Furthermore, energetic analysis was evaluated by detailed energy calculation and residue-based energy decomposition. More importantly, the summary of known polar pharmacophore groups elucidates the pivotal roles of hinge region sub-pocket in the binding of CK2 inhibitors. These results provide rational clues to the fragment-based design of more potent CK2 inhibitors.
