X-ray structure of calcineurin inhibited by the immunophilin-immunosuppressant FKBP12-FK506 complex

Abstract: The X-ray structure of the ternary complex of a calcineurin A fragment, calcineurin B, FKBP12, and the immunosuppressant drug FK506 (also known as tacrolimus) has been determined at 2.5 A resolution, providing a description of how FK506 functions at the atomic level. In the structure, the FKBP12-FK506 binary complex does not contact the phosphatase active site on calcineurin A that is more than 10 A removed. Instead, FKBP12-FK506 is so positioned that it can inhibit the dephosphorylation of its macromolecular … Show more

“…Very similar to CsA, also the effective physiological target of FK506 is not FKBP alone but a complex of the FKBP-bound FK506 and the phosphatase calcineurin [24]. Similar to the situation with CsA-CypA, the FK506-FKBP complex inhibits calcineurin by obstructing the active site of the phosphatase as shown in the crystal structure of the ternary complex published by scientists from Vertex [29].…”

“…The X-ray crystal structure of calcineurin, complexed with FKBP and FK506 but not calmodulin, was solved very recently at a resolution of 2.5 A [9]. It is interesting to compare our NMR observations with this X-ray structure.…”

“…In CHAPS-CnB, the N-terminal residues (1)(2)(3)(4)(5)(6)(7)(8)(9)(10)(11)(12)(13)(14), the C-terminal residues (158-169) and the linker connecting the two domains (residues 81-86) show increased mobility as judged by narrow, intense ~SN-~H cross-peaks and relatively fast amide proton exchange [15,27]. In CnB-P2465, only the N-terminus and the last three C-terminal residues retain this increased mobility.…”
