Abstract EN
Mismatch repair proteins modulate the cytotoxicity of several chemotherapeutic agents.
We have recently proposed a “death conformation” of the MutS homologous proteins that is distinguishable from their “repair conformation.” This conformation can be induced by a small molecule, reserpine, leading to DNA-independent cell death.
We investigated the parameters for a small reserpine-like molecule that are required to interact with MSH2/MSH6 to induce MSH2/MSH6-dependent cytotoxic response.
A multidisciplinary approach involving structural modeling, chemical synthesis, and cell biology analyzed reserpine analogs and modifications.
We demonstrate that the parameters controlling the induction of MSH2/MSH6-dependent cytotoxicity for reserpine-analogous molecules reside in the specific requirements for methoxy groups, the size of the molecule, and the orientation of molecules within the protein-binding pocket.
Reserpine analog rescinnamine showed improved MSH2-dependent cytotoxicity.
These results have important implications for the identification of compounds that require functional MMR proteins to exhibit their full cytotoxicity, which will avoid resistance in MMR-deficient cells.
