SGC-AAK1-1N

AAK1 (adaptor protein 2-associated kinase) and BMP2K/BIKE (BMP-2 inducible kinase) comprise half of the numb-associated kinase (NAK) family, which also includes cyclin G associated kinase (GAK) and STK16/MPSK1 (serine/threonine kinase 16/myristoylated and palmitoylated serine/threonine kinase 1).1

AAK1 is a 104 kDa serine/threonine kinase with broad tissue expression. Within the cell AAK1 localizes to the cell membrane and cytoplasm.2 AAK1 is involved in clathrin-mediated endocytosis (CME), both by direct binding to clathrin and by phosphorylation of the medium subunit of AP-2 (adaptor protein 2).3-5 In this manner, AAK1 has been identified as a negative regulator of Wnt signaling via mediation of LRP6 internalization. Studies have implicated multiple roles for AAK1 in influencing Notch signaling, including priming and redistribution of Numb as well as Notch activation.6-7

Relatively less is known about the highly understudied kinase BIKE. BIKE is broadly expressed, and in the cell, it localizes to nuclear speckles.2 BIKE was originally identified as its expression was observed to increase upon bone morphogenic protein (BMP-2)-induced differentiation of a prechondroblastic cell line.8 The same study provided evidence for BIKE having an important regulatory role in attenuating the program of osteoblast differentiation. Proteomic studies identified BIKE as a clathrin vesicle-associated protein and have also identified interaction between BIKE and Numb.9-10

SGC-AAK1-1 is a chemical probe for AAK1 and BIKE that potently targets the ATP-binding site (AAK1 Ki =  9.1 nM; BIKE Ki = 17 nM). Regarding kinase selectivity, only three kinases were observed to bind SGC-AAK1-1 within 30-fold of the KD of AAK1 in a KINOMEscan assay (DiscoverX) at 1 μM followed by KD determinations: RIOK1 (KD = 72 nM), RIOK3 (KD = 290 nM), and PIP5K1C (KD = 260 nM). In a live cell NanoBRET assay (Promega) SGC-AAK1-1 has potency for ectopically expressed full-length AAK1- and BIKE-Nluc fusion proteins (AAK1 IC50 = 230 nM; BIKE IC50 = 1.5 μM).

A chemically related negative control compound, SGC-AAK1-1N, is provided.

SGC-GAK-1

 

SGC-GAK-1N

Cyclin G associated kinase (GAK) is a 160 kDa serine/threonine kinase originally identified and so named as a direct association partner with cyclin G.1 GAK is a member of the numb-associated kinase (NAK) family, which includes AAK1 (adaptor protein 2-associated kinase), STK16/MPSK1 (serine/threonine kinase 16/myristoylated and palmitoylated serine/threonine kinase 1), and BMP2K/BIKE (BMP-2 inducible kinase).2 In addition to its kinase domain, the C-terminus of GAK protein bears high homology to a domain found in auxilin and tensin.3 GAK has ubiquitous tissue expression and within the cell localizes to the Golgi complex, cytoplasm, and nucleus.

NAK family domain structures

Location of GAK on kinome tree

Multiple biological roles for GAK and disease associations have been made despite it being a relatively understudied kinase. GAK is involved in membrane trafficking and sorting of proteins, including as an essential cofactor for HSC70-dependent uncoating of clathrin coated vesicles in the cytoplasm.6-7 GAK is required for maintenance of centrosome maturation and progression through mitosis.8 GAK is over-expressed in osteosarcoma cell lines and tissues where it contributes to proliferation and survival.9 Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified single nucleotide polymorphisms in the GAK gene associated with susceptibility to Parkinson’s disease.10 Emerging evidence suggests that GAK may be a therapeutic target in prostate cancer (PCa): GAK expression levels increase upon prolonged androgen treatment and during the progression of cells to hormone independence, and analysis of patient-derived tissue samples demonstrated that GAK expression levels positively correlated with the Gleason score, a quantitative scale of PCa aggressiveness.11 GAK interacts directly with the androgen receptor (AR) and potentiates its transcriptional activity.12 Further elucidation of the role of GAK in these and other biological processes would be facilitated by access to a potent and selective inhibitor of the kinase.

SGC-GAK-1 is a chemical probe for GAK that potently targets the ATP-binding site (KD = 1.9 nM). Regarding kinase selectivity, no kinases were observed to bind SGC-GAK-1 within 30-fold of the KD of GAK in a KINOMEscan assay (DiscoverX) at 1 μM followed by KD determinations. In a live cell NanoBRET assay (Promega) SGC-GAK-1 had an IC50 of 110 nM against ectopically expressed full-length GAK-Nluc fusion.

A chemically related negative control compound, SGC-GAK-1N, is provided.

Despite weakly binding RIPK2 in weakly binding RIPK2 in vitro (DiscoverX RIPK2 KD = 110 nM; 58-fold of GAK KD), SGC-GAK-1 potently engaged RIPK2 in a live cell NanoBRET assay (RIPK2 IC50 = 360 nM); accordingly, we have identified a control compound that is a highly cell-potent RIPK2 ligand, HY-19764, (IC50 = 2.2 nM) that lacks GAK affinity (IC50 > 10 µM).

BI01372674

Biology of SLC13A5

SLC13A5 (NaCT, INDY) is a sodium-citrate co-transporter that is highly expressed in the liver.  It is a member of the SLC13 family of which there are 4 other members. SLC13A5 transports citrate from the circulatory system into hepatocytes where it is used in the synthesis of sterols and fatty acids.  SLC13A5 was first identified in Drosophila where the name I’m Not Dead Yet or INDY was coined. A study in 2000(1) showed that lower expression of SLC13A5 in Drosophila led to increased lifespan.  Mouse models have demonstrated the potential of this protein as a target for obesity and diabetes with knockout mice protected from adiposity (2), reduced lipid concentrations in a siRNA study (3) and a substrate analogue used to lower blood glucose levels (4).  More recently mutations in SLC13A5 have been linked to early-infantile epileptic encephalopathy (5) while silencing of the SLC13A5 gene inhibits proliferation of human hepatocarcinoma cells (6).

BI1383298 is a potent inhibitor of SLC13A5 which unlike previously published inhibitors (4,7) has no structural homology to the substrate (citrate).  It is selective over other family members and other transporters.  A chemically related negative control (BI01372674) is also provided.

 

BI01383298: a chemical probe for SLC13A5

In addition to the chemical probe (BI01383298) we also include a negative control (BI01372674) which is chemically analogous to the probe molecule.

The probe molecule (BI01383298) and control (BI01372674) are soluble, after visual inspection, at 10 µM and 200µM in the presence of 0.1% DMSO in media and assay buffer.

Aliquots of stock Solutions were prepared as follows: 10mM BI01383298 in DMSO (Stored -20oC), 5mM BI01383298 in DMSO (Stored -20oC, need agitation upon thaw and gentle warming to 30oC).

Potency against SLC13A5 in cellular assays

BI01383298 is a potent inhibitor of SLC13A5 with an apparent IC50 value of 56nM in HEK cells overexpressing SLC13A5 and 24nM in HepG2 cell expressing endogenous SLC13A5. BI01383298 was not found to inhibit citrate transport in HEK cells over-expressing mouse SLC13A5 and thus we do not recommend this compound for use in mouse models. BI01372674 was not found to inhibit citrate uptake in a  HEPG2 model expressing endogenous levels of SLC13A5 or in HEK cellular models over-expressing human SLC13A5, mouse SLC13A5 or GLYT2.

L-Moses A chemical probe for PCAF and GCN5 Bromodomains

This probe (dihydrochloride) is available from Tocris and Cayman Chemical

overview
Probe Negative control

 

L-Moses

 

D-Moses

p300/CBP-associated factor (PCAF/KAT2B) and general control non-derepressible 5 (GCN5/KAT2A) are members of subfamily 1 of the bromodomain phylogenetic tree. These multi-domain proteins that have been implicated in retroviral infection, inflammation pathways and cancer development. However, outside of viral replication, little is known about the dependence of these effects on the C-terminal bromodomain.  L-Moses is as a chemical probe for the PCAF/GCN5 bromodomain and D-Moses is the enantiomeric negative control. Rational inhibitor design and biophysical characterization led to the discovery of L-Moses. The probe was optimized from the non-selective pan-bromodomain inhibitor, bromosporine to generate a potent, selective (>4500-fold selective over BRD4), permeable and cell-active PCAF/GCN5 bromodomain chemical probe.

Potency

PCAF Ki 47 nM in a HTRF binding competition assay using PCAF bromodomain and a biotin tagged bromodomain ligand.

PCAF KD 48 nM in a BROMOscan assay run at DiscoverX.
GCN5 KD 220 nM in a BROMOscan assay run at DiscoverX.

PCAF KD 126 nM (ITC) using PCAF bromodomain.
GCN5 KD 600 nM (ITC) using GCN5 bromodomain.

Non-family targets

GPCR/Eurofins Panel: In an panel of 130 potential off targets, L-Moses showed no binding (>60% at 10 μM) to all targets except the opioid receptors (mu 100 nM, OPRL1 840 nM, kappa 1,100 nM,) and the 5-HT transporter (220 nM).

Cellular Potency

PCAF:  IC50 220 nM in Promega NanoBRET assay, measuring displacement of NanoLuc-tagged truncated bromodomain PCAF from Halo-tagged histone H3.3 in HEK293 cells.
IC50 1.2 μM in NanoBRET assay, measuring displacement of NanoLuc-tagged full-length PCAF from Halo-tagged histone H3.3 in HEK293 cells.

IC50 660 nM for competing pull-down of full-length PCAF from cell lysates using immobilized L-Moses

GCN5: IC50 220 nM for competing pull-down of full-length PCAF from cell lysates using immobilized L-Moses.

Cytoxicity assay:

Toxicity of D-Moses and L-Moses was assessed on peripheral blood mononuclear cells  (PBMC) obtained   from   5   healthy   donors.   PBMC   were   cultured   either   with D-Moses or L-Moses at concentrations of 0.1, 1 and 10 μM or with a control (DMSO) for 24 hours. Viability of PBMC were then checked using LIVE/DEAD Fixable Aqua Dead Cell Stain Kit (ThermoFisher Scientific). No observed cytotoxicity was observed at any concentration.
