Molecular docking simulations for in silico virtual design of a
small molecule PPI inhibitor
Molecular docking simulations were conducted using the Glide
module in Maestro 9.8 (Schrodinger Inc., Cambridge, MA, USA)
under ligand-flexible mode [33]. The starting structure of IPS-
02001 was prepared from the Builder module in Maestro software. The co-crystal structure of integrin and the RGD peptide
ligand was obtained from the Protein Data Bank (PDB id 1L5G). The
initial receptor structure was prepared by deleting the authentic
cyclic RGD-peptide ligand. The molecular grid was defined for
integrin using the Receptor Grid Generation tool in Glide with the
25 Å cubic box. Molecular docking was conducted under the extra
precision XP mode with the Glide XP 5.0 scoring function to obtain
accurate binding mode and affinity data. In this docking mode, a
0.5 kcal/mol energy window and distance-dependent dielectric
constant ( 3¼ 1) were applied to the sampling process. The 10 most
docked poses were recorded throughout the docking process.
2.2. ProteoChip-based integrin avb3eOPN interaction assay
Recombinant integrin avb3 (100 mg/ml in 10 mM octyl-b-D-glucopyranoside, 1 mM CaCl2, 1 mM MgCl2, and 30% glycerol in PBS as
buffer) was immobilized onto the ProteoChip for 16 h at 4 C as a
capture protein. After washing twice with 0.05% PBST for 10 min
and drying under N2 gas, the ProteoChip was blocked with 3% BSA
for 1 h at room temperature. The ProteoChip was washed three
times with PBST and dried. Next, fluorescent dye (Cy5)-labeled OPN
was applied to the ProteoChip at concentrations ranging from 0 to
10 mg/ml in PBS containing 10 mM octyl-b-D-glucopyranoside,
1 mM CaCl2, 1 mM MgCl2, and 30% glycerol and then incubated for
1 h at 37 C. To assess inhibitor screening, Cy5-labeled OPN (0.8 mg/
ml in 10 mM octyl-b-D-glucopyranoside, 1 mM CaCl2, 1 mM MgCl2,
and 30% glycerol in PBS) and the compounds obtained from in silico
virtual screening were applied to the ProteoChip and incubated for
1 h at 37 C. The ProteoChip was washed with PBST and distilled
water, and dried under N2 gas. Next, the compounds were dissolved
in 100% DMSO and diluted to the desired concentrations in 10 mM
octyl-b-D-glucopyranoside, 1 mM CaCl2, 1 mM MgCl2, and 30%
glycerol in PBS. The diluted compounds and OPN were further
diluted to 100 mM with 10 mM octyl-b-D-glucopyranoside, 1 mM
CaCl2, 1 mM MgCl2, and 30% glycerol in PBS and spotted onto the
integrin avb3 array of the ProteoChip. The inhibitor concentrations
