AI Technical Summary
The prior art is difficult to develop ligands with high affinity and high specificity binding to the SH3 domain, limiting the development and application of drugs targeting the SH3 domain.
It was found that the SH3 domain of ASAP1 or ASAP2 had a strong and specific interaction with the giant ankyrin B (gAnkB), and through analyzing the complex structure and biochemical analysis, a universal motif (K-P-X-R) that binds high affinity to ASAP1-SH3 was revealed, and a polypeptide containing this universal motif was designed to block the signaling of ASAP1/ASAP2.
High affinity and specific blockade of ASAP1/ASAP2 binding to its ligands is achieved, thereby inhibiting the metastasis and invasion of cancer cells, providing a new targeted therapeutic strategy.
