The Wee1 nuclear tyrosine kinase functions in this process by regulating the cdc2/cyclinB protein complex. Specifically, Wee1 mediates inhibitory phosphorylation of cdc2, leading to delayed mitosis and cell cycle arrest in cells with DNA damage so that DNA repair and replication can occur. Wee1 activity is inhibited during mitosis by its phosphorylation and ubiquitination by E3 ligases, and its subsequent degradation by the proteasome. Studies showing that Wee1 expression is reduced in colon carcinoma cells and that Wee1 overexpression can block cell division, suggest that Wee1 may act as a tumor suppressor. Thus, the identification of probes that selectively increase levels of Wee1 may provide useful insights into the roles of Wee1 in cell cycle control and tumor pathogenesis. The Scripps Research Institute Molecular Screening Center (SRIMSC), part of the Molecular Libraries Probe Production Centers Network (MLPCN), utilized a chemical biology approach to uncover kinases controlling Wee1 proteolysis by identifying small molecule inhibitors stabilizing a reporter of Wee1 degradation, K328M-Wee1-luciferase. High-throughput screening followed by medicinal chemistry optimization driven by secondary assays yielded a selective stabilizing probe, ML177, which is 200 times more potent than our previously described probe, ML118. ML177 exhibits a Wee1 stabilization EC50 value of 40 nM. The probe has been tested against several cell-cycle related targets and anti-targets, including Wee1, cyclin B, p21, p27, and ability to induce HeLa (cancer) cell apoptosis. The identified probe exhibited significantly improved selectivity and potency in these assays compared to the previous probe. These results, combined with additional kinase profiling by the assay provider, confirm the value of this probe and its usefulness in biologically relevant, cell-based assays." /><meta name="og:title" content="Identification of Small Molecule Inhibitors of Wee1 Degradation and Mitotic Entry" /><meta name="og:type" content="book" /><meta name="og:description" content="Cell cycle progression and entry into mitosis are regulated by a highly conserved cellular process known as checkpoint signaling.

Specifically, Wee1 mediates inhibitory phosphorylation of cdc2, leading to delayed mitosis and cell cycle arrest in cells with DNA damage so that DNA repair and replication can occur. Wee1 activity is inhibited during mitosis by its phosphorylation and ubiquitination by E3 ligases, and its subsequent degradation by the proteasome. Studies showing that Wee1 expression is reduced in colon carcinoma cells and that Wee1 overexpression can block cell division, suggest that Wee1 may act as a tumor suppressor. Thus, the identification of probes that selectively increase levels of Wee1 may provide useful insights into the roles of Wee1 in cell cycle control and tumor pathogenesis. The Scripps Research Institute Molecular Screening Center (SRIMSC), part of the Molecular Libraries Probe Production Centers Network (MLPCN), utilized a chemical biology approach to uncover kinases controlling Wee1 proteolysis by identifying small molecule inhibitors stabilizing a reporter of Wee1 degradation, K328M-Wee1-luciferase. High-throughput screening followed by medicinal chemistry optimization driven by secondary assays yielded a selective stabilizing probe, <a href="/pcsubstance/?term=ML177[synonym]" ref="pagearea=abstract&amp;targetsite=entrez&amp;targetcat=term&amp;targettype=pubchem">ML177</a>, which is 200 times more potent than our previously described probe, <a href="/pcsubstance/?term=ML118[synonym]" ref="pagearea=abstract&amp;targetsite=entrez&amp;targetcat=term&amp;targettype=pubchem">ML118</a>. <a href="/pcsubstance/?term=ML177[synonym]" ref="pagearea=abstract&amp;targetsite=entrez&amp;targetcat=term&amp;targettype=pubchem">ML177</a> exhibits a Wee1 stabilization EC50 value of 40 nM. The probe has been tested against several cell-cycle related targets and anti-targets, including Wee1, cyclin B, p21, p27, and ability to induce HeLa (cancer) cell apoptosis. The identified probe exhibited significantly improved selectivity and potency in these assays compared to the previous probe. These results, combined with additional kinase profiling by the assay provider, confirm the value of this probe and its usefulness in biologically relevant, cell-based assays.</p></div><div class="h2"></div><p><b>Assigned Assay Grant #:</b> 1R21NS056991-01</p><p><b>Screening Center Name &#x00026; PI:</b> Scripps Research Institute Molecular Screening Center (SRIMSC), Hugh Rosen</p><p><b>Chemistry Center Name &#x00026; PI:</b> SRIMSC, Hugh Rosen</p><p><b>Assay Submitter &#x00026; Institution:</b> Nagi Ayad, The Scripps Research Institute (TSRI), University of Miami</p><p><b>Summary Bioassay Identifier (AID):</b>

Recommendations for Scientific Use of the Probe</h2><div id="ml177.s3"><h3>What limitations in current state of the art is the probe addressing?</h3><p>Although selective inhibitors of Wee1 kinase activity have been reported, none have been shown to inhibit Wee1 turnover [<a class="bk_pop" href="#ml177.r1">1</a>&#x02013;<a class="bk_pop" href="#ml177.r2">2</a>]. For example, inhibition of Wee1 kinase activity by compounds that abrogate the G2/M checkpoint improve the cytotoxic effects of DNA damaging agents on p53-negative cells [<a class="bk_pop" href="#ml177.r3">3</a>&#x02013;<a class="bk_pop" href="#ml177.r6">6</a>]. However, these compounds are dual Src/Wee1 kinase inhibitors (i.e. they are not inhibitors of Wee1 degradation). In addition, the assay provider screened LOPAC and other libraries that contain Src inhibitors and identified no hits; thus, Src activity is unrelated to inhibition of Wee1 degradation. As a result, the current state of the art lacks potent inhibitors that selectively inhibit degradation of Wee1. <i>Non-selective</i> inhibitors of protein degradation exist but these compounds are not useful for elucidating the specific roles of Wee1 in cell cycle progression, cancer development, and other cellular events. For example, MG132 is not selective as it inhibits general protein degradation via proteasome inhibition, as measured by similar EC50 values (~5 &#x003bc;M) in Wee1 and cyclin B assays.</p><p>One other small molecule has been reported in the literature to stabilize Wee1 in HeLa cells: the dihydropteridinone BI 2536 [<a class="bk_pop" href="#ml177.r2">2</a>]. The mechanism by which BI 2536 leads to Wee1 stabilization is unknown. BI 2536 is an inhibitor of Plk-1, which phosphorylates many proteins associated with cell cycle progression and mitotic entry. A sample of BI 2536 was obtained from commercial sources [Selleck Chemicals, catalog number S1109] and was determined by the assay provider to be inactive in the Wee1 degradation inhibition assay. Thus, dissecting the role of BI 2536 on Wee1 biology relative to its multiple other cellular roles is an exceedingly challenging process. A second commercially available Plk-1 inhibitor, [5-(5,6-dimethoxybenzimidazol-1-yl)-3-(4-methanesulfonyl-benzyloxy)-thiophene-2-carboxamide, purchased from EMD Chemicals, catalog number 528282-5MG] was determined by the assay provider to be inactive in the Wee1 degradation inhibition assay. Moreover, probe compound <a href="https://pubchem.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/substance/4243143" ref="pagearea=body&amp;targetsite=entrez&amp;targetcat=link&amp;targettype=pubchem">SID 4243143</a>/CID 3237904/powder <a href="https://pubchem.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/substance/87235992" ref="pagearea=body&amp;targetsite=entrez&amp;targetcat=link&amp;targettype=pubchem">SID 87235992</a> does not inhibit Plk-1, so its mechanism of action for Wee1 stabilization is distinct from that of BI 2536.</p><p>Recent improvements have been made to the field, as demonstrated by a previous <a href="/books/n/mlprobe/ml118/">probe report</a> submitted by the SRIMSC and assay provider Dr. Nagi Ayad. In this prior <a href="/books/n/mlprobe/ml118/">report</a>, the authors describe the identification of a first generation selective inhibitor of Wee1 degradation [<a class="bk_pop" href="#ml177.r7">7</a>]. This prior probe, (CID 3237904/<a href="https://pubchem.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/substance/4243143" ref="pagearea=body&amp;targetsite=entrez&amp;targetcat=link&amp;targettype=pubchem">SID 4243143</a>/powder <a href="https://pubchem.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/substance/87235992" ref="pagearea=body&amp;targetsite=entrez&amp;targetcat=link&amp;targettype=pubchem">SID 87235992</a>/<a href="/pcsubstance/?term=ML118[synonym]" ref="pagearea=body&amp;targetsite=entrez&amp;targetcat=term&amp;targettype=pubchem">ML118</a>) exhibits a Wee1 EC50 value of ~8 &#x003bc;M and a Cyclin B EC50 of &#x0003e;50 &#x003bc;M, demonstrating a &#x0003e;6.3-fold selectivity towards Wee1 over cyclin B.</p><p>In an effort to improve upon this current art by improving the potency and selectivity for Wee1, the SRIMSC and Dr. Ayad extended their chemistry and biology efforts, resulting in a more potent and selective probe (CID 45100431/<a href="https://pubchem.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/substance/92092801" ref="pagearea=body&amp;targetsite=entrez&amp;targetcat=link&amp;targettype=pubchem">SID 92092801</a>/<a href="/pcsubstance/?term=ML177[synonym]" ref="pagearea=body&amp;targetsite=entrez&amp;targetcat=term&amp;targettype=pubchem">ML177</a>). <b>This new probe exhibits a Wee1 stabilization EC50 of 40nM</b>, and thus is clearly an improvement over the prior art compounds. It exhibits an 8-fold selectivity for Wee1 over cyclin B. In summary, this new probe <a href="/pcsubstance/?term=ML177[synonym]" ref="pagearea=body&amp;targetsite=entrez&amp;targetcat=term&amp;targettype=pubchem">ML177</a>/CID 45100431 addresses the limitations of the current art by specifically inhibiting turnover of Wee1 with a <b>greater potency and selectivity</b> than other available chemical tools such as the prior probe and the prior art compound MG132, without acting as a general proteasome inhibitor. <b>Thus, the new probe <a href="/pcsubstance/?term=ML177[synonym]" ref="pagearea=body&amp;targetsite=entrez&amp;targetcat=term&amp;targettype=pubchem">ML177</a>/CID 45100431 represents a 200-fold improvement in potency over prior probe <a href="/pcsubstance/?term=ML118[synonym]" ref="pagearea=body&amp;targetsite=entrez&amp;targetcat=term&amp;targettype=pubchem">ML118</a>.</b></p></div><div id="ml177.s4"><h3>What will the probe be used for?</h3><p>The probe can be used to elucidate the specific role of Wee1 in cell cycle-related tumorigenesis and other cellular events. The importance of this probe is underscored by recent reports suggesting that Wee1 is shuttled from the nucleus to the cytoplasm, and thus there may be different pools of Wee1 that are located in different intracellular compartments and turned over via distinct mechanisms [<a class="bk_pop" href="#ml177.r8">8</a>]. In this regard, the probe can also be used to elucidate Wee1 turnover in different intracellular compartments. This is not possible with siRNA mediated knockdown of intracellular components that generally inhibit turnover of all proteins since such treatments are often toxic and nonspecific.</p></div><div id="ml177.s5"><h3>Who in the research community will use the probe?</h3><p>The probe can be used by academic researchers studying cell biology, molecular biology, and tumor biology. In addition, this probe was recently applied to studies of central nervous system neurogenesis. Thus it is conceivable that scientists in diverse fields will be able to apply this powerful chemical probe to elucidate the role of Wee1 in disease pathways.</p></div><div id="ml177.s6"><h3>What is the relevant biology to which the probe can be applied?</h3><p>Cell cycle progression and entry into mitosis are regulated by a highly conserved cellular process known as checkpoint signaling [<a class="bk_pop" href="#ml177.r8">8</a>&#x02013;<a class="bk_pop" href="#ml177.r9">9</a>]. The Wee1 nuclear tyrosine kinase functions in this process by regulating the cdc2/cyclin B protein complex. Specifically, Wee1 mediates inhibitory phosphorylation of cdc2, leading to delayed mitosis and cell cycle arrest in cells with DNA damage so that DNA repair and replication can occur [<a class="bk_pop" href="#ml177.r3">3</a>, <a class="bk_pop" href="#ml177.r8">8</a>&#x02013;<a class="bk_pop" href="#ml177.r9">9</a>]. Wee1 activity is inhibited during mitosis by its phosphorylation and ubiquitination by E3 ligases, and its subsequent degradation by the proteasome [<a class="bk_pop" href="#ml177.r4">4</a>, <a class="bk_pop" href="#ml177.r6">6</a>]. Studies showing that Wee1 expression is reduced in colon carcinoma cells suggest that Wee1 may act as a tumor suppressor [<a class="bk_pop" href="#ml177.r10">10</a>]. Thus, the identification of probes that selectively increase levels of Wee1 may provide useful insights into the roles of Wee1 in cell cycle control and tumor pathogenesis. The assay provider hypothesizes that compounds that inhibit Wee1 degradation will provide information about the role of Wee1 in mitotic entry and cell cycle progression. As a result, the current probe can be applied to the characterization of Wee1 in cellular events, and may also be useful in identifying proteins that bind to, and/or modify the post-translational state of Wee1.</p></div></div><div id="ml177.s7"><h2 id="_ml177_s7_">2. Materials and Methods</h2><p>Following a successful HTS campaign, which resulted in the identification of a Wee1 degradation inhibitor probe (CID 3237904/<a href="https://pubchem.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/substance/4243143" ref="pagearea=body&amp;targetsite=entrez&amp;targetcat=link&amp;targettype=pubchem">SID 4243143</a>/powder <a href="https://pubchem.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/substance/87235992" ref="pagearea=body&amp;targetsite=entrez&amp;targetcat=link&amp;targettype=pubchem">SID 87235992</a>/<a href="/pcsubstance/?term=ML118[synonym]" ref="pagearea=body&amp;targetsite=entrez&amp;targetcat=term&amp;targettype=pubchem">ML118</a>), a Center-based initiative was implemented to further characterize the mechanisms of Wee1 stabilization and its role in cell cycle regulation. <b>The approach taken was to uncover kinases controlling Wee1 proteolysis by identifying small molecule kinase inhibitors stabilizing a reporter of Wee1 degradation, K328M-Wee1-luciferase</b>. We screened a proprietary 16,000 compound kinase inhibitor library at Scripps Florida with K328M-Wee1-luciferase expressing cells and identified several structurally related members of a purine scaffold that increased the steady-state levels of K328M-Wee1-luciferase. In order to further examine the specific kinases involved the assay provider tested several leads against fms-related tyrosine kinase 3 (FLT3) and casein kinase 1 delta (CK1d). Furthermore, since Wee1, p21, and p27 are targeted by the same class of ubiquitin ligases (the SCF ubiquitin ligases), the assay provider performed counter-screens against p21 and p27, which served to identify and eliminate non-selective inhibitors of SCF ligases (compounds active against p21 and p27 were not pursued). Counter-screening against cyclin B was also performed to eliminate non-selective inhibitors. Finally, to characterize the mechanism of action of probe candidates, studies were performed to determine the cytotoxicity of probe candidates against neuroblastoma and HeLa cancer cells. </p><div id="ml177.s8"><h3>2.1.

The assay uses HeLa cells transfected with a kinase negative mutant of WEE1 (WEE1K328M) fused to a luciferase reporter gene. As designed, compounds that increase WEE1K328M-luciferase stability and/or prevent its degradation will lead to increased well luminescence compared to untreated wells. Specifically, compounds that increase luminescence are considered WEE1 degradation inhibitors. Compounds were tested in quadruplicate at a final nominal concentration of 250 nM.</p><p>HeLa cells were routinely grown in T75 tissue culture flasks in growth media composed of Dulbecco&#x02019;s Modified Eagle&#x02019;s Media (DMEM) supplemented with 10% v/v fetal bovine serum (FBS) and 1% pen-strep-neo antibiotic mixture at 37 degrees C in an atmosphere of 10% CO2 and 95% relative humidity (RH).

Cells were then returned to the incubator for 48 hours. Next, the transfected cells were trypsinized and resuspended at a concentration of 850,000 cells per mL in growth media. Then, 50 &#x003bc;L of cells were added in quadruplicate to wells of a 96 well plate. Compounds were made in DMSO at 2,000 times the required concentration and diluted in media 1:1000. 50 &#x003bc;L of each concentration was added to 50 &#x003bc;L of cells in the appropriate wells resulting in a 1:1000 final dilution. The plates were incubated for 20 hours at 37 degrees Celsius (10% CO2, 95% RH). The assay was stopped by adding 100 &#x003bc;L of Brite-lite Reagent to each well and incubating at room temperature for 1 minute. Well luminescence was measured on the Perkin Elmer Envision Plate Reader. K328M-WEE1-luciferase levels (RLUs) were divided by luciferase only levels (RLU) for RJR159, analog, or DMSO.

progenitor) cell proliferation than FKL135. <sup>3</sup>H-thymidine incorporation of GCPs treated
with DMSO, FKL-135 (analog), or probe RJR-159 was measured after 24 hours. Well-established methods
for purifying GCPs were developed by the Hatten laboratory [<a class="bk_pop" href="#ml177.r16">16</a>]. In brief, to purify immature granule cells, cerebella from
postnatal mice are isolated and triturated, and a mixed cell suspension containing GCPs is applied
to a Percoll gradient (35%/65%), followed by three sequential panning steps to remove glia and fibroblasts from meninges and enrich GCPs. By electron microscopy (EM) and immunocytochemistry, the final suspension is 99% pure GCPs. 40 million GCPs or more are purified from a single litter of C57Bl6J mice. <sup>3</sup>H-thymidine uptake has been extensively utilized to measure GCP proliferation [<a class="bk_pop" href="#ml177.r16">16</a>]. The extent of <sup>3</sup>H-thymidine incorporation was normalized to DMSO control and plotted. Moreover, these cell-based studies support the solubility and stability of the probe.

Profiling Assays</h3><p>The probe has been tested against several cell-cycle related targets and anti-targets, including Wee1, cyclin B, p21, p27, and ability to induce HeLa (cancer) cell apoptosis. The objective is to identify a compound that could stabilize (inhibit the degradation of) Wee1, without acting as a general protein stabilizer. For this reason, the assay provider selected cyclin B stabilization as the counter-screen target. These studies employed a luciferase-fusion protein to monitor protein degradation. Further studies were performed using p21 (CDKN1A) and p27 (CDKN1B) fusion constructs. These latter assays were performed by the assay provider. The identified probe exhibited significantly improved selectivity and potency in these AIDs, compared to the previous probe. These results, combined with additional kinase profiling by the assay provider, confirm the value of this probe and its usefulness in biologically-relevant, cell-based assays. These results are available in PubChem as <a href="https://pubchem.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/bioassay/504930" ref="pagearea=body&amp;targetsite=entrez&amp;targetcat=link&amp;targettype=pubchem">AID 504930</a> and <a href="https://pubchem.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/bioassay/504930" ref="pagearea=body&amp;targetsite=entrez&amp;targetcat=link&amp;targettype=pubchem">AID 504930</a> (GCP).
