IQ motif and SEC7 domain-containing protein 2 - 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 IQ motif and SEC7 domain-containing protein 2 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 IQ motif and SEC7 domain-containing protein 2 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 IQ motif and SEC7 domain-containing protein 2, 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.

Background:

IQ motif and SEC7 domain-containing protein 2, encoded by the gene with accession number Q5JU85, plays a crucial role as a guanine nucleotide exchange factor for ARF GTP-binding proteins. This protein is pivotal in cellular processes, facilitating the activation of ARF proteins by promoting the exchange of GDP for GTP.

Therapeutic significance:

The protein is linked to Intellectual developmental disorder, X-linked 1, a condition marked by significantly below average intellectual functioning and impairments in adaptive behavior. This association highlights the protein's potential as a target for therapeutic intervention in treating or managing this disorder.
