英文摘要
Many extracellular and secreted proteins are post-translationally modified with glycans,
including N-acetylgalactosamine (GalNAc)-type O-linked glycans. This common form of protein
glycosylation is initiated by addition of GalNAc to oxygen atoms of serine or threonine residues.
GalNAc-type O-linked glycosylation plays functional roles in diverse biological processes
including mucin assembly, developmental signaling, human genetic disorders, cell-cell adhesion
events, and cancer progression. Despite playing essential roles, mechanistic understanding of
the functions of GalNAc-type O-linked glycosylation is incomplete, due in part to the inadequacy
of tools available to probe and control this modification. To meet this challenge, we will carry
out a high-throughput screening (HTS) campaign to discover small molecules that inhibit the
polypeptide GalNAc-transferase (ppGalNAcT) family of enzymes, responsible for adding GalNAc
residues to proteins to initiate GalNAc-type O-linked glycan biosynthesis. Our primary HTS
assay is a mass spectrometry-based assay using purified ppGalNAcT1 enzyme and a mucin-
derived peptide as a glycosylation substrate. We will screen the 330,000-compound collection
from the UT Southwestern HTS core facility, including commercial compounds and natural
product fractions. Compounds that show potent and dose-dependent inhibition of ppGalNAcTs
in vitro will be evaluated for ppGalNAcT inhibition in cells. We will also use a plate-based assay
to test whether hit molecules inhibit mucin secretion from respiratory epithelial cells, a process
that depends on GalNAc-type O-linked glycans. Candidate inhibitors that display cell-based
activity will be further analyzed by a cascade of assays aimed at testing the mechanism of action
and selectivity of inhibition. Structure-activity relationship (SAR) analysis will be performed on
top compounds. A handful of high-performing inhibitors will be subjected to a full molecular
characterization including analysis of kinetic mechanism, profiling of induced transcriptional
and glycosylation changes, measuring affinity of ppGalNAcT binding, structural characterization
of the inhibitor-ppGalNAcT complex, and a proof-of-concept experiment testing effects on the
migratory behavior of lung cancer cells. At the end of the granting period, we aim to identify one
or more pharmacophores that provide potent and selective inhibition of the ppGalNAcT family
in vitro and in cells. In addition to their utility as chemical probes for academic research, these
compounds may have the potential to serve as lead molecules for new therapeutic approaches to
treat cancers, such as pancreatic cancer and non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), and
respiratory disease, including asthma, that are characterized by mucus overproduction.
