Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) is a clonal myeloproliferative disorder arising from chromosomal translocation producing a chimeric BCR-ABL protein with unregulated tyrosine kinase (TK) activity. Targeting of the BCR-ABL activity by the TK inhibitors (TKIs) is a frontline in treatment of the CML. While majority of the CML patients positively respond to the TKIs, their use does not cure the disease. The facts that the CML patients often acquire BCR-ABL mutations causing resistance to TKIs, that slowly proliferating cancer stem cells are poorly targeted with TKIs, and that other oncogenic pathways cooperate with the BCR-ABL in the CML development are all responsible for disease relapse. Main goal of the proposed project is to characterise the BCR-ABL interactome comprising of stably and transiently associated proteins in different clinical stages of CML along with identification of protein-protein interactions responsible for survival of the BCR-ABL positive cells. The results are to identify novel treatment strategies in CML.

Chronická myeloidní leukémie (CML) je klonální myeloproliferativní onemocnění vznikající v důsledku chromosomální translokace, jež vede k produkci chimerického BCR-ABL proteinu s neregulovanou tyrosin kinázovou (TK) aktivitou. Inhibice BCR-ABL aktivity pomocí TK inhibitorů (TKI) představuje standard v léčbě CML. Ačkoliv většina pacientů pozitivně reaguje na administraci TKI, jejich použití nevede k eradikaci choroby. Skutečnost, že: i) pacienti s CML vyvinou resistenci vůči TKI v důsledku mutací v BCR-ABL, ii) TKI jsou neefektivní pro pomalu proliferující rakovinné kmenové buňky, a iii) řada dalších onkogenických signálních drah se spolupodílí na propagaci CML, vede k relapsu onemocnění. Hlavním cílem tohoto projektu je charakterizace interaktomu BCR-ABL zahrnujícího stabilně a transientně asociované proteiny v různých klinických fázích CML a identifikace protein-proteinových interakcí zodpovědných za přežívání buněk pozitivních na BCR-ABL. Výsledky tohoto projektu umožní identifikaci nových přístupů k léčbě CML.

Many patients with chronic myeloid leukemia in deep remission experience return of clinical disease after withdrawal of tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs). This suggests signaling of inactive BCR-ABL, which allows the survival of cancer cells, and relapse. We show that TKI treatment inhibits catalytic activity of BCR-ABL, but does not dissolve BCR-ABL core signaling complex, consisting of CRKL, SHC1, GRB2, SOS1, cCBL, p85a-PI3K, STS1 and SHIP2. Peptide microarray and co-immunoprecipitation results demonstrate that CRKL binds to proline-rich regions located in C-terminal, intrinsically disordered region of BCR-ABL, that SHC1 requires pleckstrin homology, src homology and tyrosine kinase domains of BCR-ABL for binding, and that BCR-ABL sequence motif located in disordered region around phosphorylated tyrosine 177 mediates binding of three core complex members, i.e., GRB2, SOS1, and cCBL. Further, SHIP2 binds to the src homology and tyrosine kinase domains of BCR-ABL and its inositol phosphatase activity contributes to BCR-ABL-mediated phosphorylation of SHC1. Together, this study characterizes protein-protein interactions within the BCR-ABL core complex and determines the contribution of particular BCR-ABL domains to downstream signaling. Understanding the structure and dynamics of BCR-ABL interactome is critical for the development of drugs targeting integrity of the BCR-ABL core complex.

Dishevelled (DVL) is the key component of the Wnt signaling pathway. Currently, DVL conformational dynamics under native conditions is unknown. To overcome this limitation, we develop the Fluorescein Arsenical Hairpin Binder- (FlAsH-) based FRET in vivo approach to study DVL conformation in living cells. Using this single-cell FRET approach, we demonstrate that (i) Wnt ligands induce open DVL conformation, (ii) DVL variants that are predominantly open, show more even subcellular localization and more efficient membrane recruitment by Frizzled (FZD) and (iii) Casein kinase 1 ɛ (CK1ɛ) has a key regulatory function in DVL conformational dynamics. In silico modeling and in vitro biophysical methods explain how CK1ɛ-specific phosphorylation events control DVL conformations via modulation of the PDZ domain and its interaction with DVL C-terminus. In summary, our study describes an experimental tool for DVL conformational sampling in living cells and elucidates the essential regulatory role of CK1ɛ in DVL conformational dynamics.

Vertebrate primary cilium is a Hedgehog signaling center but the extent of its involvement in other signaling systems is less well understood. This report delineates a mechanism by which fibroblast growth factor (FGF) controls primary cilia. Employing proteomic approaches to characterize proteins associated with the FGF-receptor, FGFR3, we identified the serine/threonine kinase intestinal cell kinase (ICK) as an FGFR interactor. ICK is involved in ciliogenesis and participates in control of ciliary length. FGF signaling partially abolished ICK's kinase activity, through FGFR-mediated ICK phosphorylation at conserved residue Tyr15, which interfered with optimal ATP binding. Activation of the FGF signaling pathway affected both primary cilia length and function in a manner consistent with cilia effects caused by inhibition of ICK activity. Moreover, knockdown and knockout of ICK rescued the FGF-mediated effect on cilia. We provide conclusive evidence that FGF signaling controls cilia via interaction with ICK.

Receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs) form multiprotein complexes that initiate and propagate intracellular signals and determine the RTK-specific signalling patterns. Unravelling the full complexity of protein interactions within the RTK-associated complexes is essential for understanding of RTK functions, yet it remains an understudied area of cell biology. We describe a comprehensive approach to characterize RTK interactome. A single tag immunoprecipitation and phosphotyrosine protein isolation followed by mass-spectrometry was used to identify proteins interacting with fibroblast growth factor receptor 3 (FGFR3). A total of 32 experiments were carried out in two different cell types and identified 66 proteins out of which only 20 (30.3%) proteins were already known FGFR interactors. Using co-immunoprecipitations, we validated FGFR3 interaction with adapter protein STAM1, transcriptional regulator SHOX2, translation elongation factor eEF1A1, serine/threonine kinases ICK, MAK and CCRK, and inositol phosphatase SHIP2. We show that unappreciated signalling mediators exist for well-studied RTKs, such as FGFR3, and may be identified via proteomic approaches described here. These approaches are easily adaptable to other RTKs, enabling identification of novel signalling mediators for majority of the known human RTKs.

Studies have suggested a role for the mammalian (or mechanistic) target of rapamycin (mTOR) in skeletal development and homeostasis, yet there is no evidence connecting mTOR with the key signaling pathways that regulate skeletogenesis. We identified a parathyroid hormone (PTH)/PTH-related peptide (PTHrP)-salt-inducible kinase 3 (SIK3)-mTOR signaling cascade essential for skeletogenesis. While investigating a new skeletal dysplasia caused by a homozygous mutation in the catalytic domain of SIK3, we observed decreased activity of mTOR complex 1 (mTORC1) and mTORC2 due to accumulation of DEPTOR, a negative regulator of both mTOR complexes. This SIK3 syndrome shared skeletal features with Jansen metaphyseal chondrodysplasia (JMC), a disorder caused by constitutive activation of the PTH/PTHrP receptor. JMC-derived chondrocytes showed reduced SIK3 activity, elevated DEPTOR, and decreased mTORC1 and mTORC2 activity, indicating a common mechanism of disease. The data demonstrate that SIK3 is an essential positive regulator of mTOR signaling that functions by triggering DEPTOR degradation in response to PTH/PTHrP signaling during skeletogenesis.

Sustained activation of extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) drives pathologies caused by mutations in fibroblast growth factor receptors (FGFRs). We previously identified the inositol phosphatase SHIP2 (also known as INPPL1) as an FGFR-interacting protein and a target of the tyrosine kinase activities of FGFR1, FGFR3, and FGFR4. We report that loss of SHIP2 converted FGF-mediated sustained ERK activation into a transient signal and rescued cell phenotypes triggered by pathologic FGFR-ERK signaling. Mutant forms of SHIP2 lacking phosphoinositide phosphatase activity still associated with FGFRs and did not prevent FGF-induced sustained ERK activation, demonstrating that the adaptor rather than the catalytic activity of SHIP2 was required. SHIP2 recruited Src family kinases to the FGFRs, which promoted FGFR-mediated phosphorylation and assembly of protein complexes that relayed signaling to ERK. SHIP2 interacted with FGFRs, was phosphorylated by active FGFRs, and promoted FGFR-ERK signaling at the level of phosphorylation of the adaptor FRS2 and recruitment of the tyrosine phosphatase PTPN11. Thus, SHIP2 is an essential component of canonical FGF-FGFR signal transduction and a potential therapeutic target in FGFR-related disorders.

The blocking of specific protein-protein interactions using nanoparticles is an emerging alternative to small molecule-based therapeutic interventions. However, the nanoparticles designed as "artificial proteins" generally require modification of their surface with (bio)organic molecules and/or polymers to ensure their selectivity and specificity of action. Here, we show that nanosized diamond crystals (nanodiamonds, NDs) without any synthetically installed (bio)organic interface enable the specific and efficient targeting of the family of extracellular signalling molecules known as fibroblast growth factors (FGFs). We found that low nanomolar solutions of detonation NDs with positive ζ-potential strongly associate with multiple FGF ligands present at sub-nanomolar concentrations and effectively neutralize the effects of FGF signalling in cells without interfering with other growth factor systems and serum proteins unrelated to FGFs. We identified an evolutionarily conserved FGF recognition motif, ∼17 amino acids long, that contributes to the selectivity of the ND-FGF interaction. In addition, we inserted this motif into a de novo constructed chimeric protein, which significantly improved its interaction with NDs. We demonstrated that the interaction of NDs, as purely inorganic nanoparticles, with proteins can mitigate pathological FGF signalling and promote the restoration of cartilage growth in a mouse limb explant model. Based on our observations, we foresee that NDs may potentially be applied as nanotherapeutics to neutralize disease-related activities of FGFs in vivo.

Cilia project from almost every cell integrating extracellular cues with signaling pathways. Constitutive activation of FGFR3 signaling produces the skeletal disorders achondroplasia (ACH) and thanatophoric dysplasia (TD), but many of the molecular mechanisms underlying these phenotypes remain unresolved. Here, we report in vivo evidence for significantly shortened primary cilia in ACH and TD cartilage growth plates. Using in vivo and in vitro methodologies, our data demonstrate that transient versus sustained activation of FGF signaling correlated with different cilia consequences. Transient FGF pathway activation elongated cilia, while sustained activity shortened cilia. FGF signaling extended primary cilia via ERK MAP kinase and mTORC2 signaling, but not through mTORC1. Employing a GFP-tagged IFT20 construct to measure intraflagellar (IFT) speed in cilia, we showed that FGF signaling affected IFT velocities, as well as modulating cilia-based Hedgehog signaling. Our data integrate primary cilia into canonical FGF signal transduction and uncover a FGF-cilia pathway that needs consideration when elucidating the mechanisms of physiological and pathological FGFR function, or in the development of FGFR therapeutics.

Many tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) have failed to reach human use due to insufficient activity in clinical trials. However, the failed TKIs may still benefit patients if their other kinase targets are identified by providing treatment focused on syndromes driven by these kinases. Here, we searched for novel targets of AZD1480, an inhibitor of JAK2 kinase that recently failed phase two cancer clinical trials due to a lack of activity. Twenty seven human receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs) and 153 of their disease-associated mutants were in-cell profiled for activity in the presence of AZD1480 using a newly developed RTK plasmid library. We demonstrate that AZD1480 inhibits ALK, LTK, FGFR1-3, RET and TRKA-C kinases and uncover a physical basis of this specificity. The RTK activity profiling described here facilitates inhibitor repurposing by enabling rapid and efficient identification of novel TKI targets in cells.
