Definitions
- the present invention relates to novel substituted acrylic acids, to methods for their preparation, to compositions containing them, to their use for treatment of human and animal disorders, to their use for purification of proteins or glycoproteins, and to their use in diagnosis.
- the invention relates to modulation of the activity of molecules with phospho-tyrosine recognition units, including protein tyrosine phosphatases (PTPases) and proteins with Src-homology-2 domains, in in vitro systems, microorganisms, eukaryotic cells, whole animals and human beings.
- PTPases protein tyrosine phosphatases
- PTKs protein tyrosine kinases
- PTPases protein tyrosine phosphatases
- the protein phosphatases are composed of at least two separate and distinct families (Hunter, T., Cell 58: 1013-1016 (1989)) the protein serine/threonine phosphatases and the PTPases.
- the PTPases are a family of enzymes that can be classified into two groups: a) intracellular or nontransmembrane PTPases and b) receptor-type or transmembrane PTPases.
- Intracellular PTPases All known intracellular type PTPases contain a single conserved catalytic phosphatase domain consisting of 220-240 amino acid residues. The regions outside the PTPase domains are believed to play important roles in localizing the intracellular PTPases subcellularly (Mauro, L.J. and Dixon, J.E. T/J3S 19: 151 -155 (1994)). The first intracellular PTPase to be purified and characterized was PTP1B which was isolated from human placenta (Tonks et al., J. Biol. Chem. 263: 6722-6730 (1988)).
- PTP1 B was cloned (Charbonneau et at., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 86: 5252-5256 (1989); Chernoff et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 87: 2735-2789 (1989)).
- Other examples of intracellular PTPases include (1 ) T-cell PTPase (Cool et al. Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 86: 5257-5261 (1989)), (2) rat brain PTPase (Guan et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci.
- LMW-PTPase Low molecular weight phosphotyrosine-protein phosphatase shows very little sequence identity to the intracellular PTPases described above.
- this enzyme belongs to the PTPase family due to the following characteristics: (i) it possesses the PTPase active site motif: Cys-Xxx-Xxx-Xxx-Xxx-Xxx-Arg (Cirri et al., Eur. J. Biochem. 214: 647-657 (1993)); (ii) this Cys residue forms a phospho- intermediate during the catalytic reaction similar to the situation with 'classical' PTPases (Cirri et al., supra; Chiarugi et al., FEBS Lett.
- Receptor-type PTPases consist of a) a putative ligand-binding extracellular domain, b) a transmembrane segment, and c) an intracellular catalytic region.
- the structures and sizes of the putative ligand-binding extracellular domains of receptor-type PTPases are quite divergent.
- the intracellular catalytic regions of receptor-type PTPases are very homologous to each other and to the intracellular PTPases.
- Most receptor-type PTPases have two tandemly duplicated catalytic PTPase domains.
- the first receptor-type PTPases to be identified were (1) CD45/LCA (Ralph, S.J., EMBO J. 6: 1251-1257 (1987)) and (2) LAR (Streuli et al., J. Exp. Med. 168: 1523- 1530 (1988)) that were recognized to belong to this class of enzymes based on homology to PTP1 B (Charbonneau et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 86: 5252-5256 (1989)).
- CD45 is a family of high molecular weight glycoproteins and is one of the most abundant leukocyte cell surface glycoproteins and appears to be exclusively expressed upon cells of the hematopoietic system (Trowbridge and Thomas, Ann. Rev. Immunol. 12: 85-116 (1994)).
- PTP-U2/GLEPP1 (Seimiya et ai, Oncogene 10: 1731-1738 (1995); (Thomas et ai, J. Biol. Chem. 269: 19953-19962 (1994)), and (14) DEP-1; (IV) PTP ⁇ ,_PTP ⁇ . All receptor-type PTPases except Type IV contain two PTPase domains. Novel PTPases are continously identified, and it is anticipated that more than 500 different species will be found in the human genome, i.e. close to the predicted size of the protein tyrosine kinase superfamily (Hanks and Hunter, FASEB J. 9: 576-596 (1995)).
- PTPases are the biological counterparts to protein tyrosine kinases (PTKs). Therefore, one important function of PTPases is to control, down-regulate, the activity of PTKs.
- PTKs protein tyrosine kinases
- Several studies have shown that some PTPases may actually act as positive mediators of cellular signaling. As an example, the SH2 domain-containing PTP1 D seems to act as a positive mediator in insulin-stimulated Ras activation (Noguchi etal., Mol. Cell. Biol. 14: 6674-6682 (1994)) and of growth factor-induced mitogenic signal transduction (Xiao et ai, J. Biol. Chem.
- PTPases as positive regulators has been provided by studies designed to define the activation of the Src-family of tyrosine kinases. In particular, several lines of evidence indicate that CD45 is positively regulating the activation of hematopoietic cells, possibly through dephosphorylation of the C-terminal tyrosine of Fyn and Lck (Chan et al., Annu. Rev. Immunol. 12: 555-592 (1994)).
- Dual specificity protein tyrosine phosphatases define a subclass within the PTPases family that can hydrolyze phosphate from phosphortyrosine as well as from phosphor-serine/threonine.
- dsPTPases contain the signature sequence of PTPases: His-Cys-Xxx-Xxx-Gly-Xxx-Xxx-Arg. At least three dsPTPases have been shown to dephosphorylate and inactivate extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERKs)/mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK): MAPK phosphatase (CL100, 3CH134) (Charles et al., Proc. Natl.
- dsPTPases Transcription of dsPTPases are induced by different stimuli, e.g. oxidative stress or heat shock (Ishibashi et ai, J. Biol. Chem. 269: 29897-29902 (1994); Keyse and Emslie, Nature 359: 644-647 (1992)).
- stimuli e.g. oxidative stress or heat shock (Ishibashi et ai, J. Biol. Chem. 269: 29897-29902 (1994); Keyse and Emslie, Nature 359: 644-647 (1992)).
- cdc25 Millar and Russell, Cell 68: 407-410 (1992)
- KAP Hannon ef ai, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 91: 1731-1735 (1994)
- tyrosine dephosphorylation of cdc2 by a dual specific phosphatase, cdc25 is required for induction of mitosis in yeast (review by Walton and Dixon, Annu. Rev. Biochem. 62: 101-120 (1993)).
- Hormones, growth factors, cytokines, antigens, extracellular matrix components as well as molecules positioned at the cell surface induce signal transduction by binding to specific cell surface structures or receptors on target cells (reviewed in Pawson, Nature 373: 573-580 (1995)).
- the resulting cellular signal is often mediated through a series of phosphorylation and dephosphorylation reactions on tyrosine residues of signaling molecules.
- pTyr phosphotyrosine
- SH2 domains and PTB domains primarily act as docking molecules with little or no catalytic activity.
- tyrosine phosphorylated proteins have the capacity to bind other proteins containing SH2 domains or PTB domains thereby controlling the subcellular location of signaling molecules.
- SH2 domains from the Src kinase family bind the peptide pTyr-Glu-Glu-lle in a relatively selective manner, whereas the PTPD1 seems to recognize at least five, primarily hydrophobic residues C-terminal to the pTyr (Pawson, supra).
- Inhibition of signal transduction processes could, in principle, be achieved by using non-hydrolyzable pTyr-containing peptides with preferential affinity for specific PTPases, SH2 domains or PTB domains.
- pTyr-containing peptides with preferential affinity for specific PTPases, SH2 domains or PTB domains.
- Such selective compounds can either initiate, increase or decrease defined signal transduction processes.
- Vanadate was found to inhibit protein-tyrosine phosphatases in mammalian cells with a concomitant increase in the level of phosphotyrosine in cellular proteins leading to transformation (Klarlund, Cell 41: 707-717 (1985)).
- Vanadium-based phosphatase inhibitors are relatively unspecific. Therefore, to assess the importance of specific structures on PTPase activity more selective inhibitors are needed.
- One possibility for obtaining selective PTPase inhibitors would be through design of different ancillary ligands for peroxovanadium-based compounds (Posner et al., J. Biol. Chem. 269: 4596-4604 (1994)).
- PTPases the insulin receptor signaling pathway/diabetes
- Insulin is an important regulator of different metabolic processes and plays a key role in the control of blood glucose. Defects related to its synthesis or signaling lead to diabetes mellitus. Binding of insulin to its receptor causes rapid (auto)phosphorylation of several tyrosine residues in the intracellular part of the ⁇ -subunit. Three closely positioned tyrosine residues (the tyrosine-1150 domain) must all be phosphorylated to obtain full activity of the insulin receptor tyrosine kinase (IRTK) which transmits the signal further downstream by tyrosine phosphorylation of other cellular substrates, including insulin receptor substrate-1 (IRS-1) (Wilden ef ai, J. Biol. Chem. 267:
- IRTK appears to be tightly regulated by PTP-mediated dephosphorylation in vivo (Khan et al., J. Biol. Chem. 264: 12931-12940 (1989); Faure et al., J. Biol. Chem. 267: 11215-11221 (1992); Rothenberg et al., J. Biol. Chem. 266: 8302-8311 (1991 )).
- PTPases have distinct structural features that determine their subcellular localization and thereby their access to defined cellular substrates (Frangione et al., Cell 68: 545-560 (1992); Faure and Posner, Glia 9: 311-314 (1993)). Therefore, the lack of activity of PTP1 B and TC- PTP towards the IRTK may, at least in part, be explained by the fact that they do not co-localize with the activated insulin receptor. In support of this view, PTP1 B and TC- PTP have been excluded as candidates for the IR-associated PTPases in hepatocytes based on subcellular localization studies (Faure et al., J. Biol. Chem.
- the transmembrane PTPase CD45 which is believed to be hematopoietic cell-specific, was in a recent study found to negatively regulate the insulin receptor tyrosine kinase in the human multiple myeloma cell line U266 (Kulas et al , J Biol Chem 271 755-760 (1996))
- Somatostatin inhibits several biological functions including cellular proliferation (Lamberts ef al , Molec Endocnnol 8 1289-1297 (1994)) While part of the antiproliferative activities of somatostatin are secondary to its inhibition of hormone and growth factor secretion (e g growth hormone and epidermal growth factor), other antiproliferative effects of somatostatin are due to a direct effect on the target cells
- somatostatin analogs inhibit the growth of pancreatic cancer presumably via stimulation of a single PTPase, or a subset of PTPases, rather than a general activation of PTPase levels in the cells (Liebow et al , Proc Natl Acad Sci USA 86 2003-2007 (1989), Colas et al, Eur J Biochem 207 1017-1024 (1992))
- somatostatin stimulation of somatostatin receptors SSTR1 but not SSTR2, stably expressed
- CD45 a lymphocyte-specific member of the Src family protein-tyrosine kinase (Mustelin ef ai, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 86: 6302- 6306 (1989); Ostergaard et al, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 86: 8959-8963 (1989)).
- Fyn another member of the Src family protein-tyrosine kinases, Fyn, seems to be a selective substrate for CD45 compared to Lck and Syk (Katagiri et ai, J. Biol. Chem. 270: 27987-27990 (1995)).
- HePTP a hematopoietic cell specific PTPase
- PTPase a hematopoietic cell specific PTPase
- CD45 CD45
- HePTP and PTP1 C selective PTPase inhibitors may be attractive drug candidates both as immunosuppressors and as immunostimulants.
- PTPases cell-cell interactions/cancer
- Focal adhesion plaques an in vitro phenomenon in which specific contact points are formed when fibroblasts grow on appropriate substrates, seem to mimic, at least in part, cells and their natural surroundings.
- Several focal adhesion proteins are phosphorylated on tyrosine residues when fibroblasts adhere to and spread on extracellular matrix (Gumbiner, Neuron 11, 551-564 (1993)).
- Aberrant tyrosine phosphorylation of these proteins can lead to cellular transformation.
- the intimate association between PTPases and focal adhesions is supported by the finding of several intracellular PTPases with ezrin-like N-terminal domains, e.g. PTPMEG1 (Gu et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci.
- PTPH1 Yang and Tonks, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 88: 5949-5953 (1991 )
- PTPD1 Yang and Tonks, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 88: 5949-5953 (1991 )
- PTPD1 M ⁇ ller et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 91: 7477-7481 (1994)
- the ezrin-like domain show similarity to several proteins that are believed to act as links between the cell membrane and the cytoskeleton.
- PTPD1 was found to be phosphorylated by and associated with c-src in vitro and is hypothesized to be involved in the regulation of phosphorylation of focal adhesions (M ⁇ ller et al., supra).
- PTPases may oppose the action of tyrosine kinases, including those responsible for phosphorylation of focal adhesion proteins, and may therefore function as natural inhibitors of transformation.
- TC-PTP and especially the truncated form of this enzyme (Cool ef at, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 87: 7280-7284 (1990)), can inhibit the transforming activity of v-erb and v-fms (Lammers ef ai, J. Biol. Chem. 268: 22456- 22462 (1993); Zander ef ai, Oncogene 8: 1175-1182 (1993)).
- PTP1 B The expression level of PTP1 B was found to be increased in a mammary cell line transformed with neu (Zhay ef ai, Cancer Res. 53: 2272-2278 (1993)).
- the intimate relationship between tyrosine kinases and PTPases in the development of cancer is further evidenced by the recent finding that PTP ⁇ is highly expressed in murine mammary tumors in transgenic mice over-expressing c-netv and v-Ha-ras, but not c- myc or int-2 (Elson and Leder, J. Biol. Chem. 270: 26116-26122 (1995)).
- PTPases appear to be involved in controlling the growth of fibroblasts.
- Swiss 3T3 cells harvested at high density contain a membrane-associated PTPase whose activity on an average is 8-fold higher than that of cells harvested at low or medium density (Pallen and Tong, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 88: 6996-7000 (1991)). It was hypothesized by the authors that density-dependent inhibition of cell growth involves the regulated elevation of the activity of the PTPase(s) in question.
- PTPK and PTP ⁇ Two closely related receptor-type PTPases, PTPK and PTP ⁇ , can mediate homophilic cell-cell interaction when expressed in non-adherent insect cells, suggesting that these PTPases might have a normal physiological function in cell-to-cell signaling (Gebbink ef at, J. Biol. Chem. 268: 16101-16104 (1993); Brady-Kalnay ef ai, J. Cell Biol. 122: 961-972 (1993); Sap et al., Mol. Cell. Biol. 14: 1-9 (1994)).
- PTPK and PTP ⁇ do not interact with each other, despite their structural similarity (Zondag et ai, J. Biol. Chem.
- PTPases may play an important role in regulating normal cell growth.
- PTPases may also function as positive mediators of intracellular signaling and thereby induce or enhance mitogenic responses. Increased activity of certain PTPases might therefore result in cellular transformation and tumor formation.
- over- expression of PTP ⁇ was found to lead to transformation of rat embryo fibroblasts (Zheng, supra).
- SAP-1 a novel PTP, SAP-1, was found to be highly expressed in pancreatic and colorectal cancer cells.
- SAP-1 is mapped to chromosome 19 region q13.4 and might be related to carcinoembryonic antigen mapped to 19q13.2 (Uchida ef ai, J. Biol. Chem. 269: 12220-12228 (1994)). Further, the dsPTPase, cdc25, dephosphorylates cdc2 at Thr14 Tyr-15 and thereby functions as positive regulator of mitosis (reviewed by Hunter, Cell 80: 225-236 (1995)). Inhibitors of specific PTPases are therefore likely to be of significant therapeutic value in the treatment of certain forms of cancer.
- PTPases platelet aggregation
- PTPases are centrally involved in platelet aggregation.
- Agonist-induced platelet activation results in calpain-catalyzed cleavage of PTP1 B with a concomitant 2-fold stimulation of PTPase activity (Frangioni ef ai, EMBO J. 12: 4843 ⁇ 1856 (1993)).
- the cleavage of PTP1 B leads to subcellular relocation of the enzyme and correlates with the transition from reversible to irreversible platelet aggregation in platelet-rich plasma.
- the rate of bone formation is determined by the number and the activity of osteoblasts, which in term are determined by the rate of proliferation and differentiation of osteoblas progenitor cells, respectively. Histomorphometric studies indicate that the osteoblast number is the primary determinant of the rate of bone formation in humans (Gruber et ai, Mineral Electrolyte Metab. 12: 246-254 (1987); reviewed in Lau et al., Biochem. J. 257: 23-36 (1989)). Acid phosphatases/PTPases may be involved in negative regulation of osteoblast proliferation. Thus, fluoride, which has phosphatase inhibitory activity, has been found to increase spinal bone density in osteoporotics by increasing osteoblast proliferation (Lau ef ai, supra).
- an osteoblastic acid phosphatase with PTPase activity was found to be highly sensitive to mitogenic concentrations of fluoride (Lau et ai, J. Biol. Chem. 260: 4653-4660 (1985); Lau et al., J. Biol. Chem. 262: 1389-1397 (1987); Lau et al., Adv. Protein Phosphatases 4: 165-198 (1987)).
