Abstract
SUMMARYProtein kinase inhibitors are effective cancer therapies, but acquired resistance often limits clinical efficacy. Despite the cataloguing of numerous resistance mutations with model studies and in the clinic, we still lack a comprehensive understanding of kinase inhibitor resistance. Here, we measured the resistance of thousands of Src tyrosine kinase mutants to a panel of ATP-competitive inhibitors. We found that ATP-competitive inhibitor resistance mutations are distributed throughout Src’s catalytic domain. In addition to inhibitor contact residues, residues that participate in regulating Src’s phosphotransferase activity were prone to the development of resistance. Unexpectedly, a resistance-prone cluster of residues that are on the top face of the N-terminal lobe of the catalytic domain contributes to Src autoinhibition by reducing the dynamics of the catalytic domain, and mutations in this cluster led to resistance by lowering inhibitor affinity and promoting kinase hyperactivation. Together, our studies demonstrate how comprehensive profiling of drug resistance can be used to understand potential resistance pathways and uncover new mechanisms of kinase regulation.
