Covalent Inhibition of the Peptidyl‐Prolyl Isomerase Pin1 by Sulfopin Results in a Broad Impact on the Phosphoproteome of Human Osteosarcoma U2‐OS Cells
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Peptidyl-prolyl isomerase, NIMA-interacting protein 1-(Pin1) catalyses the cis-trans interconversion of the inflexible bond between serine or threonine residues and proline at the +1 position (pSer/pThr-Pro). Although initially discovered as an essential regulator of cell division, Pin1 has since been identified as a regulator of many biological processes and is associated with numerous malignancies and neurodegenerative disorders. Pin1 has been shown to influence phosphorylation by modulating phosphatase accessibility. However, it can also indirectly regulate phosphorylation by isomerizing peptidyl-prolyl bonds on kinases, affecting their subcellular localization and/or substrate specificity. Here, SILAC-based mass spectrometry was employed to identify proteomic and phosphoproteomic changes in human osteosarcoma human osteosarcoma cell line (U2-OS) cells in response to treatment with the selective covalent Pin1 inhibitor Sulfopin. We confirmed that Sulfopin covalently binds Pin1 and profiled Pin1-dependent changes to the proteome and phosphoproteome, identifying 803 phosphosites that underwent significant Sulfopin-dependent changes. The identified phosphosites include substrates for a number of distinct kinases, including protein kinase B (AKT1), aurora kinase A (AURKA), cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK)1 and CK2. Overall, this study reveals the broad impact of Sulfopin on the phosphoproteome, improving our understanding of how Pin1 modulates complex regulatory kinase networks in living cells. SUMMARY: The peptidyl-prolyl isomerase (PPIase) Pin1 has emerged as a potential therapeutic target for numerous malignancies and neurodegenerative disorders based on its altered expression in several diseases. As the activity of Pin1 is phosphorylation-dependent, it is intimately involved with constituents of regulatory kinase networks within cells. To elucidate how Pin1 orchestrates regulatory signalling within cells, we performed quantitative proteomic and phosphoproteomic profiling of SILAC-labelled human osteosarcoma U2-OS cells treated with Sulfopin, a highly selective covalent Pin1 inhibitor. In addition to demonstrating that Pin1 inhibition alters the abundance and phosphorylation of proteins involved in a variety of fundamental cellular processes, these studies revealed that Pin1 inhibition modulates the phosphorylation of 803 phosphorylation sites, ultimately improving our understanding of how a PPIase regulates phosphorylation networks in complex biological systems.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
