Structural highlights
FunctionMK06_HUMAN Atypical MAPK protein. Phosphorylates microtubule-associated protein 2 (MAP2) and MAPKAPK5. The precise role of the complex formed with MAPKAPK5 is still unclear, but the complex follows a complex set of phosphorylation events: upon interaction with atypical MAPKAPK5, ERK3/MAPK6 is phosphorylated at Ser-189 and then mediates phosphorylation and activation of MAPKAPK5, which in turn phosphorylates ERK3/MAPK6. May promote entry in the cell cycle (By similarity). Publication Abstract from PubMedTriazolo[4,5-d]pyrimidin-5-amines were identified from kinase selectivity screening as novel ERK3 inhibitors with sub-100 nanomolar potencies in a biochemical assay using MK5 as substrate and with an attractive kinase selectivity profile. ERK3 crystal structures clarified the inhibitor binding mode in the ATP pocket with impact on A-loop, GC-loop and alphaC-helix conformations suggesting a potential structural link towards MK5 interaction via the FHIEDE motif. The inhibitors also showed sub-100 nM potencies in a cellular ERK3 NanoBRET assay and with excellent correlation to the biochemical IC50s. This novel series provides valuable tool compounds to further investigate the biological function and activation mechanism of ERK3.
