Prostate cancer is hormone-dependent and the androgen receptor (AR) is involved in its development. AR is a transcription factor that is activated by ligand binding, result in its translocation into the nucleus, where it initiates gene transcription. In an inactive state in cytoplasm AR exists as a complex with heat shock protein 90 (HSP90) and some other proteins. When the agonist binds, a conformational change in AR occurs, resulting in HSP90 and other chaperones dissociating. Recently it has been shown that for the dissociation of the HSP90-AR complex and the translocation of the latter into the nucleus, phosphorylation of the Thr-90 residue of the N-terminal domain of HSP90 is necessary. In this work, the effect of the HSP90 inhibitor, heldanamycin, interacting with the ATP-binding site, on the Thr90 phosphorylation site was investigated by molecular modeling methods. It has been shown that inhibitor binding slightly affects the size and mobility of cavity around Thr90. It is suggested that inhibitor binding to HSP90 does not result in changing the protein structure and does not influence on protein phosphorylation, and partially explains low effectiveness of such type of drugs in the therapy of prostate cancer.

We have used crystal structures and molecular modeling to evaluate inhibitor binding modes and design a series of compounds to take advantage of a new, cryptic, hydrophobic sub-pocket. This is a classical SBDD approach to improving enzyme/inhibitor interactions.

<p>We contribute to the emerging topic of development of the family of prospective covalent inhibitors of the “undraggable” KRAS protein. Recent experimental studies on the x-ray [Nature 2013; Cell, 2016], <i>in vivo</i> [Cancer Discov., 2016] and <i>in vitro</i> [Nat. Struct. Mol. Biol., 2018] kinetics reached the top of possible detalization of the process. Although many questions on the reaction mechanism still arise. Herein we utilize a set of supercomputer molecular modeling tools and our original strategy on kinetic analysis to evaluate the reaction mechanism of protein-inhibitor interactions to clarify them. Moreover we suggest original strategy to bridge the microscopic calculated parameters with the macroscopic observed ones and compare them.</p>
