Btk SH2-kinase interface is critical for allosteric kinase activation and its targeting inhibits B-cell neoplasms

Matteo Dal Peraro, Florence Pojer, Sandrine Madeleine Suzanne Georgeon, Maria Josefina Marcaida Lopez, Oliver Hantschel, Allan Joaquim Lamontanara, Tim Kükenshöner, Daniel Pereira Duarte, Grégory La Sala

Bruton's tyrosine kinase (Btk) is critical for B-cell maturation and activation. Btk loss-of-function mutations cause human X-linked agammaglobulinemia (XLA). In contrast, Btk signaling sustains growth of several B-cell neoplasms which may be treated with ...

Allosteric Inhibition of Bcr-Abl Kinase by High Affinity Monobody Inhibitors Directed to the Src Homology 2 (SH2)-Kinase Interface

Oliver Hantschel, Allan Joaquim Lamontanara, Barbara Gerig

Bcr-Abl is a constitutively active kinase that causes chronic myelogenous leukemia. We have shown that a tandem fusion of two designed binding proteins, termed monobodies, directed to the interaction interface between the Src homology 2 (SH2) and kinase do ...

Allosteric regulation and targeting of Abl SH2-kinase interface and other cytoplasmic tyrosine kinases

Allan Joaquim Lamontanara

Due to their central role in normal cellular physiology, the activity of protein kinases is tightly regulated and their aberrant activation can lead to cancer. Chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) is a blood cancer characterized by unregulated growth of myel ...

The SH2 domain of Abl kinases regulates kinase autophosphorylation by controlling activation loop accessibility

Oliver Hantschel, Sandrine Madeleine Suzanne Georgeon, Allan Joaquim Lamontanara

The activity of protein kinases is regulated by multiple molecular mechanisms, and their disruption is a common driver of oncogenesis. A central and almost universal control element of protein kinase activity is the activation loop that utilizes both confo ...

Mechanisms of resistance to BCR-ABL and other kinase inhibitors

Oliver Hantschel, Allan Joaquim Lamontanara, Emel Basak Gencer Akçok, Orest Kuzyk

In this article, we are reviewing the molecular mechanisms that lead to kinase inhibitor resistance. As the oncogenic BCR-ABL kinase is the target of the first approved small-molecule kinase inhibitor imatinib, we will first focus on the structural and mec ...
