    RNA is an emerging target of next-generation drug development. Recently, new small molecules targeting RNAs were discovered by several pharmaceutical companies. Methods have been reported to identify small molecules targeting a specific RNA sequence and structural motif, however, because of diverse sequence and structural motifs potentially present in the druggable functional RNAs, large sets of structure-activity relationships (SARs) information of small molecule - RNA interactions will be required for the acceleration and efficient startup of the discovery programs toward unprecedented RNA targets. Here we describe our iterative RNA selection and compounds screening to accumulate rich information about small molecules - RNA interaction. The RNAs that selectively bind to the initial molecular target, compound 1 from our in-house chemical library (JT-library), was isolated using in vitro selection technique from a hairpin-structured RNA library mimicking precursor microRNA (pre-miRNA). Then, we engineered pre-let-7f-2 to create its mutant that can bind to compound 1 by embedding the in vitro selected RNA motif for compound 1 in the hairpin loop region. The obtained mutant pre-let-7f-2-loop-mt was used as a target for screening 316 analogs of compound 1. A surface plasmon resonance (SPR) -based screening was performed against pre-let-7f-2-loop-mt-immobilized sensor surface and we obtained four compounds that can bind to the RNA. Among these four compounds, three compounds showed higher affinity to pre-let-7f-2-loop-mt than the parental compound 1, which suggests the feasibility of our strategy for gathering the SAR information on small molecule - RNA interactions. We demonstrated only one cycle of RNA selection and compounds screening in the present study, but can continue this cycle with the selected molecule to gain new RNAs and even new RNA motifs and gather much SAR information with improved accuracy.

    The trinucleotide repeat expansion disorders (TREDs) constitute of a group of >40 hereditary neurodegenerative human diseases associated with abnormal expansion of repeated sequences, such as CAG repeats. The pathogenic factor is a transcribed RNA or protein whose function in the cell is compromised. The disorders are progressive and incurable. Consequently, many ongoing studies are oriented at developing therapies. We have analyzed crystal structures of RNA containing CAG repeats in complex with synthetic cyclic mismatch-binding ligands (CMBLs). The models show well-defined interactions between the molecules in which the CMBLs mimic nucleobases as they form pseudo-canonical base pairs with adenosine residues and engage in extensive stacking interactions with neighboring nucleotides. The binding of ligands is associated with major structural changes of the CAG repeats, which is consistent with results of biochemical studies. The results constitute an early characterization of the first lead compounds in the search for therapy against TREDs. The crystallographic data indicate how the compounds could be further refined in future biomedical studies.

    Determination of the molecular targets of natural products has had profound impacts on studies of complex cellular machinery. Natural products are often coevolved with proteins targets and thereby likely to exhibit high selectivity to the human counterparts of those targets. Here we report isolation of a selective protein target of aurilide, a potent cytotoxic marine natural product. The ability of aurilide at low concentrations to induce apoptosis in human cancer cells has encouraged a range of biological analyses. Nonetheless, its mechanism of action has remained unknown. To identify the target of this potent cytotoxic molecule, we biochemically isolated a selective aurilide -binding protein, prohibitin 1 (PHB1). Our mechanistic analyses indicate that the interaction of aurilide with PHB1 in mitochondria activates the proteolytic processing of optic atrophy 1 (OPA1), leading to mitochondrial fragmentation and apoptosis.

  • 低分子化合物-RNA相互作用の迅速スクリーニング法とAIを活用した相互作用予測モデル構築

    2021.7 - 2023.6

    九州大学(日本) 

      More details

    Authorship:Principal investigator 

    RNAが次世代の創薬標的として注目されている。しかし、RNAを標的とした低分子創薬研究はほとんど進んでいない。これは、低分子とそれが結合するRNA、すなわち「低分子化合物-RNAぺア」の少なさに起因して、RNAを標的とする低分子の分子設計指針が未整備であるためである。本事業では、これを解決する技術として、技術A:「低分子化合物−RNAペア」データ収集のための迅速スクリーニング法、および、技術B:RNA標的低分子デザインのための「低分子化合物−RNAペア」予測法を開発する。

  • 低分子化合物-RNAペアの網羅的探索手法の確立と獲得ビッグデータの情報科学解析

    2021.4 - 2025.3

    九州大学(日本) 

      More details

    Authorship:Principal investigator 

    RNAが次世代の創薬標的として注目を集めている。RNAの働きが細胞の機能維持調節や疾患などに関わることが分かってきたことが背景にある。しかし、RNAを標的とした低分子創薬研究にはボトルネックがある。1) 低分子化合物-RNAペアの具体例が極めて少なく、2) RNAに結合する 低分子化合物の設計指針が不足していることである。この課題を解決し、RNA標的低分子創薬研究を加速するために、本研究では「酵素Dicerに よるRNA切断反応と次世代シーケンサーを利用した低分子化合物-RNAペアの網羅的探索手法」を確立、低分子化合物-RNAペアのビッグデータ獲 得とデータ科学・情報科学的解析を行う。

    Authorship:Principal investigator 

    本研究は、低分子で誘起される新奇RNA立体構造の実証を目的とする。本研究の目的達成のために、低分子NAと標的RNAとの結合評価、および、種々の構造解析手法を用いたNA-標的RNA複合体の立体構造解析を行う。さらに、低分子NAで誘起される新奇RNA立体構造のRNA編集反応における反応活性制御への応用を検討する。

    Authorship:Principal investigator 

    RNAの機能不全が種々の疾患に関わることが分かっており、RNAは次世代の創薬標的として注目されている。しかしRNAを標的とした低分子創薬はほとんど進んでいない。その理由として、RNAに結合する低分子と分子設計指針の少なさが挙げられる。本研究では、低分子-RNAペア(低分子とそれが結合するRNA)の網羅的探索法を開発し、低分子-RNAペアのビックデータ解析により、RNA標的薬の設計指針を獲得する。

Educational Activities

  • Nucleic acids play a crucial role as vital biomolecules for storing and transmitting genetic information. Among them, RNA has gained significant attention as a promising target for drug discovery, given its diverse functions, roles, and involvement in various diseases. We focus on imparting knowledge and expertise in chemical biology, chemistry, and life sciences, with a specific emphasis on nucleic acids. Through in-depth analysis on small molecules targeting nucleic acids and their interactions, we aim to foster a comprehensive understanding of these biomolecules. By incorporating a chemical perspective into the realm of life sciences, we can effectively unravel the functions of biomolecules and their cellular roles. Ultimately, we strives to cultivate researchers capable of conducting interdisciplinary studies and pioneering novel fields of research.
