��5c-selective compounds require hydrophobic residues like Leu or less structurally demanding amino acids in P1 and bulky hydrophobic side chains in P3. In contrast, inhibitors specific for subunit ��5i need large hydrophobic groups such as Trp or Phe in P1 (Toes et?al., 2001) and small polar residues in P3. The phenyl side chain of PR-957 perfectly fits into the spacious S1 pocket of ��5i but not into the smaller one of ��5c, which explains the subunit specificity of this inhibitor. The forces necessary [http://www.selleckchem.com/products/ch5424802.html CH5424802] to enlarge the S1 pocket of ��5c by pushing Met45 aside are mirrored in the almost 15 times higher IC50 value of PR-957 for ��5c. Similarly, engineered derivatives of omuralide and salinosporamide A, with a phenyl moiety in P1, have been demonstrated to exert significantly reduced inhibitory potency toward the ChTL activity of yCP and cCP compared to the natural products (Corey and Li, 1999?and?Nett et?al., 2009). Because salinosporamide A (marizomib) is tested in clinical phase studies (Potts et?al., 2011), it would be interesting to characterize the selectivity of these derivatives for the iCP. Besides PR-957, our structural data provide an explanation for the selectivity of well-characterized proteasome inhibitors (Figure?S4A): As carfilzomib, currently in clinical phase 3 trials (Khan and Stewart, 2011), and PR-825 harbor Leu side chains in P1 and hydrophobic residues in P3, they both favor subunit ��5c over ��5i. Whereas the tripeptidic inhibitor PR-825 is >10-fold more [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ribonucleotide_reductase Ribonucleotide reductase] selective for ��5c, the tetrapeptide carfilzomib displays only slight specificity for ��5c ([http://www.selleckchem.com/products/VX-770.html VX-770 molecular weight] (Demo et?al., 2007). Superposition of the murine CPs with the yCP:bortezomib X-ray structure (Groll et?al., 2006a) reveals that the N-terminal pyrazole ring of bortezomib can occupy the S3 pocket of both ��5c and ��5i by interacting with Thr21, Ala22, and Ala27/Ser27 of ��5c/i as well as Asp114 of ��6 (Figure?S4B). Based on our crystal structures and with respect to a sequence identity of more than 90% between murine and human proteasomal subunits, the selectivity of bortezomib could now be improved for either iCP or cCP. In conclusion, the presented crystal structures of cCP and iCP from the same species enable molecular modeling studies with both mammalian proteasome classes for the first time. Using the outline above, it is now possible to undertake the structure-guided design of inhibitors that target single proteasomal subunits in order to modulate signaling processes such as antigen presentation or cytokine production, both of which play pivotal roles in various diseases.
