Wilms tumor protein - Focused Library Design

Available from Reaxense

This protein is integrated into the Receptor.AI ecosystem as a prospective target with high therapeutic potential. We performed a comprehensive characterization of Wilms tumor protein including:

1. LLM-powered literature research

Our custom-tailored LLM extracted and formalized all relevant information about the protein from a large set of structured and unstructured data sources and stored it in the form of a Knowledge Graph. This comprehensive analysis allowed us to gain insight into Wilms tumor protein therapeutic significance, existing small molecule ligands, relevant off-targets, and protein-protein interactions.

2. AI-Driven Conformational Ensemble Generation

Starting from the initial protein structure, we employed advanced AI algorithms to predict alternative functional states of Wilms tumor protein, including large-scale conformational changes along "soft" collective coordinates. Through molecular simulations with AI-enhanced sampling and trajectory clustering, we explored the broad conformational space of the protein and identified its representative structures. Utilizing diffusion-based AI models and active learning AutoML, we generated a statistically robust ensemble of equilibrium protein conformations that capture the receptor's full dynamic behavior, providing a robust foundation for accurate structure-based drug design.

3. Binding pockets identification and characterization

We employed the AI-based pocket prediction module to discover orthosteric, allosteric, hidden, and cryptic binding pockets on the protein’s surface. Our technique integrates the LLM-driven literature search and structure-aware ensemble-based pocket detection algorithm that utilizes previously established protein dynamics. Tentative pockets are then subject to AI scoring and ranking with simultaneous detection of false positives. In the final step, the AI model assesses the druggability of each pocket enabling a comprehensive selection of the most promising pockets for further targeting.

4. AI-Powered Virtual Screening

Our ecosystem is equipped to perform AI-driven virtual screening on Wilms tumor protein. With access to a vast chemical space and cutting-edge AI docking algorithms, we can rapidly and reliably predict the most promising, novel, diverse, potent, and safe small molecule ligands of Wilms tumor protein. This approach allows us to achieve an excellent hit rate and to identify compounds ready for advanced lead discovery and optimization.

Background:

The Wilms tumor protein (WT33) is a pivotal transcription factor involved in cellular development and survival. It binds to specific DNA sequences, regulating the expression of target genes such as EPO, and plays a crucial role in the development of the urogenital system. Its function varies by isoform, with some acting as transcription factors and others involved in mRNA metabolism or splicing.

Therapeutic significance:

WT33 is linked to several diseases, including Frasier syndrome, Wilms tumor 1, Denys-Drash syndrome, Nephrotic syndrome 4, Meacham syndrome, and malignant Mesothelioma. Its dual role as a tumor suppressor and oncogene highlights its potential as a target for therapeutic strategies in these conditions.
