    Conformational diversity and protein-protein interfaces in drug repurposing in ras signaling pathway
    (Nature Portfolio, 2024) Department of Computer Engineering;Department of Chemical and Biological Engineering; Sayın, Ahenk Zeynep; Abalı, Zeynep; Şenyüz, Simge; Cankara, Fatma; Gürsoy, Attila; Keskin, Özlem; Graduate School of Sciences and Engineering; College of Engineering
    We focus on drug repurposing in the Ras signaling pathway, considering structural similarities of protein-protein interfaces. The interfaces formed by physically interacting proteins are found from PDB if available and via PRISM (PRotein Interaction by Structural Matching) otherwise. The structural coverage of these interactions has been increased from 21 to 92% using PRISM. Multiple conformations of each protein are used to include protein dynamics and diversity. Next, we find FDA-approved drugs bound to structurally similar protein-protein interfaces. The results suggest that HIV protease inhibitors tipranavir, indinavir, and saquinavir may bind to EGFR and ERBB3/HER3 interface. Tipranavir and indinavir may also bind to EGFR and ERBB2/HER2 interface. Additionally, a drug used in Alzheimer's disease can bind to RAF1 and BRAF interface. Hence, we propose a methodology to find drugs to be potentially used for cancer using a dataset of structurally similar protein-protein interface clusters rather than pockets in a systematic way.

    Dynamically driven correlations in elastic net models reveal sequence of events and causality in proteins
    (John Wiley and Sons Inc, 2024) Erkip Albert; Department of Chemical and Biological Engineering; Erman, Burak; Department of Chemical and Biological Engineering; College of Engineering
    An explicit analytic solution is given for the Langevin equation applied to the Gauss-ian Network Model of a protein subjected to both a random and a deterministic peri-odic force. Synchronous and asynchronous components of time correlation functionsare derived and an expression for phase differences in the time correlations of resi-due pairs is obtained. The synchronous component enables the determination ofdynamic communities within the protein structure. The asynchronous componentreveals causality, where the time correlation function between residues i and j differsdepending on whether i is observed before j or vice versa, resulting in directionalinformation flow. Driver and driven residues in the allosteric process of cyclophilin Aand human NAD-dependent isocitrate dehydrogenase are determined by a perturba-tion-scanning technique. Factors affecting phase differences between fluctuations ofresidues, such as network topology, connectivity, and residue centrality, are identi-fied. Within the constraints of the isotropic Gaussian Network Model, our resultsshow that asynchronicity increases with viscosity and distance between residues,decreases with increasing connectivity, and decreases with increasing levels of eigen-vector centrality.
