title: Control of protein-protein interactions: structure-based discovery of low molecular weight inhibitors of the interactions between Pin1 WW domain and phosphopeptides.
abstract: Interactions involving phosphorylated Ser/Thr-Pro motifs in proteins play a key role in numerous regulatory processes in the cell. Here, we investigate potential ligands of the WW binding domain of Pin1 in order to inhibit protein-protein interactions between Pin1 and phosphopeptides. Our structure-based strategy implies the synthesis of analogues of the Ac-Thr(PO(3)H(2))-Pro-NH(2) dipeptide and relies on high resolution NMR spectroscopy to accurately measure the affinity constants even in the high micromolar range.
