Catalytic inhibitor of protein phosphatase 5 activates the extrinsic apoptotic pathway by disrupting complex ii

Protein phosphatase 5 (PP5) is a serine / threonine protein phosphatase involved in the maturation and activation of numerous signaling pathways essential for cancer growth. PP5 activity is essential for the survival of clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC), however the mechanism remains unclear. Data demonstrates that PP5 interacts with caspase-8, FADD, and RIPK1, components of extrinsic apoptotic pathway Complex II. Specifically, PP5 dephosphorylates and inactivates the death effector proteins RIPK1 and FADD, preserving Complex II integrity and regulating extrinsic apoptosis. Protein phosphatases are considered to be ‘undruggable,’ however we have developed a specific inhibitor of PP5 (P-053) that prevents substrate binding to the active site. Encouragingly, PP5 inhibition using P-53 in VHL-null ccRCC robustly induces extrinsic apoptosis. Taken together, the data suggests that PP5 promotes ccRCC survival by suppressing extrinsic apoptosis, and small molecule inhibition of PP5 presents a viable therapeutic strategy for ccRCC.
