This protein is integrated into the Receptor.AI ecosystem as a prospective target with high therapeutic potential. We performed a comprehensive characterization of Inhibitor of growth protein 3 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 Inhibitor of growth protein 3 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 Inhibitor of growth protein 3, 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:
Inhibitor of growth protein 3 (p47ING3) plays a crucial role in chromatin remodeling and transcriptional regulation through its involvement in the NuA4 histone acetyltransferase complex. This complex is essential for acetylation of histones H4 and H2A, which facilitates transcriptional activation of specific genes. p47ING3 is also a part of a SWR1-like complex, important for removing histone H2A.Z from the nucleosome, further influencing DNA repair and gene expression.
Therapeutic significance:
p47ING3's involvement in DNA repair and gene expression regulation makes it a potential target in treating Squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck. Its role in oncogene and proto-oncogene mediated growth induction and tumor suppressor mediated growth arrest highlights its therapeutic significance in cancer treatment strategies.
