Dissecting the neuroprotective interaction between the BH4 domain of BCL-w and the IP3 receptor
BCL-w is a BCL-2 family protein that promotes cell survival in tissue- and disease-specific contexts. The canonical anti-apoptotic functionality of BCL-w is mediated by a surface groove that traps the BCL-2 homology 3 (BH3) α-helices of pro-apoptotic members, blocking cell death. A distinct N-terminal portion of BCL-w, termed the BCL-2 homology 4 (BH4) domain, selectively protects axons from paclitaxel-induced degeneration by modulating IP3 receptors, a noncanonical BCL-2 family target. Given the potential of BCL-w BH4 mimetics to prevent or mitigate chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy, we sought to characterize the interaction between BCL-w BH4 and the IP3 receptor, combining “staple” and alanine scanning approaches with molecular dynamics simulations. We generated and identified stapled BCL-w BH4 peptides with optimized IP3 receptor binding and neuroprotective activities. Point mutagenesis further revealed the sequence determinants for BCL-w BH4 specificity, providing a blueprint for therapeutic targeting of IP3 receptors to achieve neuroprotection.

期刊介绍:
Cell Chemical Biology, a Cell Press journal established in 1994 as Chemistry & Biology, focuses on publishing crucial advances in chemical biology research with broad appeal to our diverse community, spanning basic scientists to clinicians. Pioneering investigations at the chemistry-biology interface, the journal fosters collaboration between these disciplines. We encourage submissions providing significant conceptual advancements of broad interest across chemical, biological, clinical, and related fields. Particularly sought are articles utilizing chemical tools to perturb, visualize, and measure biological systems, offering unique insights into molecular mechanisms, disease biology, and therapeutics.
