Abstract
Uridine diphosphate glucose (UDP-Glc) is able to accelerate the decay of snail family transcriptional repressor 1 (SNAI1) mRNA by inhibiting Hu antigen R (HuR, an RNA-binding protein), thereby preventing cancer invasiveness and drug resistance. Nevertheless, the phosphorylation of tyrosine 473 (Y473) of UDP-glucose dehydrogenase (UGDH is capable of converting UDP-Glc to uridine diphosphate glucuronic acid (UDP-GlcUA)) weakens the inhibition of UDP-Glc to HuR, thus initiating the epithelial-mesenchymal transformation of tumor cells and promoting tumor cell migration and metastasis. To address the mechanism, we performed molecular dynamics simulations combined with molecular mechanics generalized Born surface area (MM/GBSA) analysis on wild-type and Y473 phosphorylated UGDH and HuR, UDP-Glc, UDP-GlcUA complexes. We demonstrated that Y473 phosphorylation was able to enhance the binding between UGDH and the HuR/UDP-Glc complex. Compared with HuR, UGDH has a stronger binding ability with UDP-Glc; therefore, UDP-Glc was inclined to bind to UGDH and then was catalyzed to UDP-GlcUA by UGDH, which relieved the inhibition of UDP-Glc to HuR. In addition, the binding ability of HuR for UDP-GlcUA was lower than its affinity for UDP-Glc, significantly reducing the inhibition of HuR. Hence, HuR bound to SNAI1 mRNA more easily to increase the stability of mRNA. Our results revealed the micromolecular mechanism of Y473 phosphorylation of UGDH regulating the interaction between UGDH and HuR as well as relieving the inhibition of UDP-Glc on HuR, which contributed to understanding the role of UGDH and HuR in tumor metastasis and developing small molecule drugs targeting the interaction between UGDH and HuR.
