This argued strongly that binding of 7 and 8 was specific in nature. The ELISA-based Plk1 inhibition data (Assisting Information Number S6 C S9) offered relative binding affinities that served to guide structural modifications. In order to quantitate the binding affinities of selected analogues, the assays were repeated using an expanded range of concentrations (Assisting Information Number S10). This allowed an estimation of IC50 ideals: 1 (20 M); 4b (0.43 M); 7 (0.04 M); 7* (0.20 M) and 7(S4A) (43 M) [where 7* indicates alternative of the pT residue with (2 em S /em ,3 em R /em )-2-amino-3-methyl-4-phosphonobutyric acid (Pmab) like a phosphatase-stable pT mimetic13]. Binding affinities were also identified individually using fluorescence polarization techniques, which measured the ability of peptides to compete with a 5-carboxyfluorescein-labeled variant of the peptide GPMQSpTPLNG-OH (9) (5-CF-9) for binding to purified Plk1 PBD protein (Table 1).14 With this second option assay, the WT 5-mer parent peptide 1 (40 2% inhibition at 2.56 M concentration) was slightly less potent than the control 10-mer peptide (9, IC50 = 1.12 0.26 M). The isomeric oximes 4b and 5b were approximately an order-of-magnitude more potent than 1 (IC50 = 0.122 0.024 M and 0.433 0.083 M, respectively). Consistent with the ELISA-based inhibition assay, the em trans /em -isomer bound with higher affinity than the em cis /em -isomer. Conversion of the oximes 4b and 5b to their related ether analogues was accompanied by another order-of-magnitude increase in affinity (7, IC50 = 0.014 0.001 M and 8, IC50 = 0.038 0.009 M, respectively), which represents an approximate two orders-of-magnitude enhancement relative to the WT parent peptide 1. The Pmab-containing versions of 7 and 8 bound with less affinity than their pThr-containing parents. This was observed for both 7 (7*, IC50 = 0.086 0.017 M; 6-fold less potent) and 8 (IC50 = 0.038 0.009 M as compared to 8*, IC50 = 0.114 0.003 M; 3-collapse less potent).

We launched onto 7 and selected variants, em N /em -terminal Cys residues tethered by em n /em -hexanoylamide chains and covalently conjugated the producing peptides to SulfoLink Coupling Gel. We then measured the relative abilities of these preparations to bind to Plk1, Plk2 or Plk3, when exposed to lysates of mitotic 293T cells made up of Flag-fused kinase dead LOR-253 forms of Plk1 (K82M), Flag-Plk2 (K108M) or Flag-Plk3 (K52R) (Physique 2b). While confirming our previous findings that 1 is usually highly specific for Plk1,10C15 a faint band corresponding to binding of peptide 7 to Plk2 was observed in addition to a very intense band associated with its binding to Plk1. A Plk2 band was not seen for the Pmab-containing analogue 7*, although more than 200-fold and approximately 6-fold reduced Plk1 PBD binding affinities of 1 1 and 7* relative to 7 could render binding of these peptides to Plk2 too faint for detection. In order to determine the molecular basis for the enhanced binding affinity of 7, we solved the X-ray co-crystal structure of 7 in complex with Plk1 PBD (Supporting Information Table S3 and Physique S12). The HSpT residues of 7 were nearly super-imposable with those.Chem. corresponding parent peptides (Supporting Information Physique S9).
