Overexpression of anti-apoptotic Bcl-2 family proteins contributes to cancer
progression and confers resistance to chemotherapy. Small molecules that target
Bcl-2 are used in the clinic to treat leukemia, but tight and selective
inhibitors are not available for Bcl-2 paralog Bfl-1. Guided by computational
analysis, we designed variants of the native BH3 motif PUMA that are > 150-fold
selective for Bfl-1 binding. The designed peptides potently trigger disruption of
the mitochondrial outer membrane in cells dependent on Bfl-1, but not in cells
dependent on other anti-apoptotic homologs. High-resolution crystal structures
show that designed peptide FS2 binds Bfl-1 in a shifted geometry, relative to
PUMA and other binding partners, due to a set of epistatic mutations. FS2
modified with an electrophile reacts with a cysteine near the peptide-binding
groove to augment specificity. Designed Bfl-1 binders provide reagents for
cellular profiling and leads for developing enhanced and cell-permeable peptide
or small-molecule inhibitors.
