Structural highlights
FunctionRIPK1_HUMAN Serine-threonine kinase which transduces inflammatory and cell-death signals (programmed necrosis) following death receptors ligation, activation of pathogen recognition receptors (PRRs), and DNA damage. Upon activation of TNFR1 by the TNF-alpha family cytokines, TRADD and TRAF2 are recruited to the receptor. Ubiquitination by TRAF2 via 'Lys-63'-link chains acts as a critical enhancer of communication with downstream signal transducers in the mitogen-activated protein kinase pathway and the NF-kappa-B pathway, which in turn mediate downstream events including the activation of genes encoding inflammatory molecules. Polyubiquitinated protein binds to IKBKG/NEMO, the regulatory subunit of the IKK complex, a critical event for NF-kappa-B activation. Interaction with other cellular RHIM-containing adapters initiates gene activation and cell death. RIPK1 and RIPK3 association, in particular, forms a necrosis-inducing complex.[1] [2] [3] Publication Abstract from PubMedThe retrieval of hit/lead compounds with novel scaffolds during early drug development is an important but challenging task. Various generative models have been proposed to create drug-like molecules. However, the capacity of these generative models to design wet-lab-validated and target-specific molecules with novel scaffolds has hardly been verified. We herein propose a generative deep learning (GDL) model, a distribution-learning conditional recurrent neural network (cRNN), to generate tailor-made virtual compound libraries for given biological targets. The GDL model is then applied to RIPK1. Virtual screening against the generated tailor-made compound library and subsequent bioactivity evaluation lead to the discovery of a potent and selective RIPK1 inhibitor with a previously unreported scaffold, RI-962. This compound displays potent in vitro activity in protecting cells from necroptosis, and good in vivo efficacy in two inflammatory models. Collectively, the findings prove the capacity of our GDL model in generating hit/lead compounds with unreported scaffolds, highlighting a great potential of deep learning in drug discovery. Generative deep learning enables the discovery of a potent and selective RIPK1 inhibitor.,Li Y, Zhang L, Wang Y, Zou J, Yang R, Luo X, Wu C, Yang W, Tian C, Xu H, Wang F, Yang X, Li L, Yang S Nat Commun. 2022 Nov 12;13(1):6891. doi: 10.1038/s41467-022-34692-w.
