Ligands: , Gene: Ctsk (LK3 transgenic mice) Activity: Cathepsin K, with EC number 3.4.22.38 Resources: FirstGlance, OCA, PDBe, RCSB, PDBsum, ProSAT Function [CATK_MOUSE] Closely involved in osteoclastic bone resorption and may participate partially in the disorder of bone remodeling. Displays potent endoprotease activity against fibrinogen at acid pH. May play an important role in extracellular matrix degradation (By similarity). Publication Abstract from PubMed Cathepsin K (CatK) is the predominant mammalian bone-degrading protease and thus an ideal target for anti-osteoporotic drug development. Rodent models of osteoporosis are preferred due to their close reflection of the human disease and their ease of handling, genetic manipulation, and economic affordability. However, large differences in the potency of CatK inhibitors for the mouse/rat versus the human protease orthologues have made it impossible to use rodent models. This is even more of a problem considering that the most advanced CatK inhibitors including odanacatib and balicatib failed in human clinical trials due to side effects and rodent models are not available to investigate the mechanism of these failures. Here, we elucidated the structural elements of the potency differences between mouse and human CatK using odanacatib (ODN). We determined and compared the structures of inhibitor-free mouse CatK (mCatK), human CatK (hCatK) and ODN bound to hCatK. Two structural differences were identified and investigated by mutational analysis. Humanizing subsite 2 in mCatK led to a 5-fold improvement of ODN binding whereas the replacement of Tyr61 in mCatK with Asp resulted in an hCatK with comparable ODN potency. Combining both sites further improved the inhibition of the mCatK variant. Similar results were obtained for balicatib. These findings will allow the generation of transgenic CatK mice that will facilitate the evaluation of CatK inhibitor adverse effects and to explore routes to avoid them.
