Abstract
Proteins containing phosphorylated Ser/Thr-Pro motifs play key roles in numerous regulatory processes in the cell. The peptidyl prolyl cis/trans isomerase Pin1 specifically catalyzes the conformational transition of phosphorylated Ser/Thr-Pro motifs. Here we report the direct analysis of the thermodynamic properties of the interaction of the PPIase Pin1 with its substrate-analogue inhibitor Ac-Phe-D-Thr(PO3H2)-Pip-Nal-Gln-NH2 specifically targeted to the PPIase active site based on the combination of isothermal titration calorimetry and studies on inhibition of enzymatic activity of wt Pin1 and active site variants. Determination of the thermodynamic parameters revealed an enthalpically and entropically favored interaction characterized by binding enthalpy deltaH(ITC) of -6.3 +/- 0.1 kcal mol(-1) and a TdeltaS(ITC) of 4.1 +/- 0.1 kcal mol(-1). The resulting dissociation constant KD for binding of the peptidic inhibitor with 1.8 x 10(-8) M resembles the dissociation constant of a Pin1 substrate in the transition state, suggesting a transition state analogue conformation of the bound inhibitor. The strongly decreased affinity of Pin1 for ligand at increasing ionic strength implicates that the potential of bidentate binding of a substrate protein by the PPIase and the WW domain of Pin1 may be required to deploy improved efficiency and specificity of Pin1 under conditions of physiological ionic strength.
