Protein kinase CK2 is an emerging target for therapeutic intervention in human diseases, particularly in cancer. Inhibitors of this enzyme are currently in clinical trials, indicating the druggability of human CK2. By virtual screening of the ZINC database, we found that the natural compound bikaverin can fit well in the ATP binding site of the target enzyme CK2. By further in vitro evaluation using CK2 holoenzyme, bikaverin turned to be a potent inhibitor with an IC50 value of 1.24 µM. In this work, the cell permeability of bikaverin was determined using a Caco-2 cell permeability assay as a prerequisite for cellular evaluation and the compound turned out to be cell permeable with a Papp- value of 4.46 × 10−6 cm/s. Bikaverin was tested for its effect on cell viability using a MTT assay and cell proliferation using an EdU assay in different cancer cell lines (MCF7, A427 and A431 cells). Cell viability and cell proliferation were reduced dramatically after treatment with 10 µM bikaverin for 24 h. Additionally the IncuCyte® live-cell imaging system was applied for monitoring the cytotoxicity of bikaverin in the three tested cancer cell lines. Finally, molecular dynamic studies were performed to clarify the ligand binding mode of bikaverin at the ATP binding site of CK2 and to identify the amino acids involved.

AbstractA polypeptide band with an apparent molecular weight of 55,000 was phosphorylated in vitro in whole-cell lysates ofTrypanosoma equiperdum. This band corresponds to tubulin as demonstrated by immunoprecipitation of the phosphorylated polypeptide fromT. equiperdumextracts when anti-α and anti-β tubulin monoclonal antibodies were employed. A parasite protein kinase CK2 was in charge of modifying tubulin given that common mammalian CK2 inhibitors such as emodin and GTP, hindered the phosphorylation of tubulin and exogenously added casein. Interestingly, a divalent cation-dependent translocation of theT. equiperdumtubulin and the CK2 responsible for its phosphorylation was noticed, suggesting a direct interaction between these two proteins. Additionally, this fraction of tubulin and its kinase coeluted using separations based on parameters as different as charge (DEAE-Sepharose anion-exchange chromatography) and size (Sephacryl S-300 gel filtration chromatography). Analyses by non-denaturing polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and immunoblot of the purified and radioactively labeled fraction containing both tubulin and the CK2 enzyme, established the phosphorylation of a single band that was recognized by anti-CK2 α-subunit and anti-tubulin antibodies. All these findings revealed a physical association between a pool of tubulin and a CK2 inT. equiperdum.

Incubation of Jurkat cells with 4,5,6,7-tetrabromobenzotriazole (TBB), a specific inhibitor of protein kinase CK2, induces dose-and time-dependent apoptosis as judged by several criteria. TBB-promoted apoptosis is preceded by inhibition of Ser/Thr phosphorylation of haematopoietic lineage cell-specific protein 1 (HS1) and is accompanied by caspase-dependent fragmentation of the same protein. Both effects are also observable if apoptosis is promoted by anti-Fas antibodies and by etoposide. Moreover, in vitro experiments show that HS1, once phosphorylated by CK2, becomes refractory to cleavage by caspase-3. These findings, in conjunction with similar data in the literature concerning two other CK2 protein substrates, Bid and Max, suggest that CK2 may play a general anti-apoptotic role through the generation of phosphorylated sites conferring resistance to caspase cleavage.
