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

Florence Pojer, Matteo Dal Peraro, Oliver Hantschel, Sandrine Madeleine Suzanne Georgeon, Allan Joaquim Lamontanara, Tim Kükenshöner, Maria Josefina Marcaida Lopez, 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 ...

Selective inhibition of STAT3 signaling using monobodies targeting the coiled-coil and N-terminal domains

Florence Pojer, Oliver Hantschel, Tim Kükenshöner, Grégory La Sala, Kelvin Ka Ching Lau

The transcription factor STAT3 is frequently activated in human solid and hematological malignancies and remains a challenging therapeutic target with no approved drugs to date. Here, we develop synthetic antibody mimetics, termed monobodies, to interfere ...

Selective Targeting of SH2 Domain–Phosphotyrosine Interactions of Src Family Tyrosine Kinases with Monobodies

Florence Pojer, Oliver Hantschel, Tim Kükenshöner, Nadine Eliane Schmit

The binding of Src-homology 2 (SH2) domains to phosphotyrosine (pY) sites is critical for the autoinhibition and substrate recognition of the eight Src family kinases (SFKs). The high sequence conservation of the 120 human SH2 domains poses a significant c ...

Unpaired extracellular cysteine mutations of CSF3R mediate gain or loss of function

Oliver Hantschel, Tim Kükenshöner

Exclusive of membrane-proximal mutations seen commonly in chronic neutrophilic leukemia (e.g. T618I), functionally defective mutations in the extracellular domain of the granulocyte colony-stimulating factor receptor (CSF3R) have been reported only in seve ...

Structural and functional dissection of the DH and PH domains of oncogenic Bcr-Abl tyrosine kinase

Florence Pojer, Oliver Hantschel, Sandrine Madeleine Suzanne Georgeon, Delphine Maude Tardivon, Sina Maren Reckel, Barbara Gerig, Tim Kükenshöner, Sara Raquel Pereira Pinho, Charlotte Julie Caroline Gehin

The two isoforms of the Bcr-Abl tyrosine kinase, p210 and p190, are associated with different leukemias and have a dramatically different signaling network, despite similar kinase activity. To provide a molecular rationale for these observations, we study ...
