Centromere-associated protein E (CENP-E) plays an essential role in mitosis and is a target candidate for anticancer drugs. However, it is difficult to design small-molecule inhibitors of CENP-E kinesin motor ATPase activity owing to a lack of structural information on the CENP-E motor domain in complex with its inhibitors. Here, the CENP-E motor domain was crystallized in the presence of an ATP-competitive inhibitor and the
was determined at 1.9 Å resolution. In the determined structure, ADP was observed instead of the inhibitor in the nucleotide-binding site, even though no ADP was added during protein preparation. Structural comparison with the structures of previously reported CENP-E and those of other kinesins indicates that the determined structure is nearly identical except for several loop regions. However, the retention of ADP in the nucleotide-binding site of the structure strengthens the biochemical view that the release of ADP is a rate-limiting step in the ATPase cycle of CENP-E. These results will contribute to the development of anticancer drugs targeting CENP-E and to understanding the function of kinesin motor domains.Keywords: CENP-E; anticancer drugs; kinesins.

1. Introduction
Antimitotic anticancer drugs, such as taxanes and vinca et al., 2001; Jordan & Wilson, 2004). They cause serious side effects such as toxicity in nondividing cells such as peripheral neurons. On the other hand, antimitotic agents that target mitotic kinesins are expected to be more likely to act on dividing cells but not on nondividing cells, and thus antimitotic agents that inhibit the functions of kinesin motor domains minimize the toxicity to nondividing cells, causing decreased side effects. Therefore, such inhibitors will be promising candidates for the development of cancer drugs (Sakowicz et al., 2004). To date, a large number of Eg5 inhibitors, such as STLC and PVZB1194, have been reported (Ogo et al., 2007; Matsuno et al., 2009). A large amount of structural information on Eg5 in complex with its inhibitors has also been reported (Yokoyama et al., 2015, 2018; Myers & Collins, 2016). However, Eg5 inhibitors have not found clinical use because they target not only cancer cells but also other actively proliferating cells.
have been widely used in the clinical therapy of human malignancies (WoodA recent new target for mitotic inhibition is centromere-associated protein E (CENP-E), which is a member of the kinesin-7 subfamily. CENP-E plays important roles in proper chromosome segregation during mitosis. The role of CENP-E in chromosome congression has been extensively described in various models (McEwen et al., 2001; Putkey et al., 2002; Schaar et al., 1997; Wood et al., 1997; Yao et al., 2000). After entering mitosis, CENP-E locates on the kinetochores during spindle formation, and is required for the proper alignment of mitotic chromosomes at the spindle midzone (Wood et al., 1997; Schaar et al., 1997; Kim et al., 2010). The motor domain of CENP-E plays an important role in transporting peripheral polar chromosomes towards the spindle midzone (Barisic et al., 2014; Zhang et al., 2017). CENP-E is composed of three domains: tail, stalk and motor. The motor domain, located at the N-terminus, consists of 339 residues and is approximately 40 kDa in size; it is the active site for ATPase activity. CENP-E uses the N-terminal motor domain to gain driving energy by hydrolyzing adenosine triphosphate (ATP) to adenosine diphosphate (ADP), and moves along microtubules. The release of ADP from CENP-E is significantly slower than from other kinesins and is the rate-limiting step in ATP turnover (Sardar & Gilbert, 2012).
To date, only the et al., 2004; PDB entry 1t5c). It is difficult to perform rational drug design by fragment-based drug discovery (FBDD) or structure-based drug design (SBDD) owing to a lack of structural information on CENP-E. Therefore, it is necessary to determine crystal structures of the CENP-E motor domain in complex with its inhibitors.
of the CENP-E motor domain in complex with MgADP (CENP-E–MgADP 1t5c) has been reported (Garcia-SaezHere, in order to elucidate the mechanism by which the CENP-E motor domain binds to its inhibitors, we tried to cocrystallize the CENP-E motor domain in complex with the ligand 3-chloro-4-isopropoxyl benzoic acid (CIBA; Qian et al., 2010), an ATP-competitive inhibitor, and determined the structure at 1.9 Å resolution. Endogenous ADP instead of CIBA was observed in the nucleotide-binding site, even though ATP or ADP had not been added. The determined structure of the CENP-E motor domain was compared with those of other kinesin motors. Based on the characteristic structure of CENP-E, the mechanism by which ADP is retained in CENP-E is discussed.
2. Materials and methods
2.1. Preparation of inhibitor and construction of plasmids
CIBA was synthesized as described by Qian et al. (2010). The cDNA of CENP-E1–339 (residues 1–339 of CENP-E) was cloned into pCold III bacterial expression vector to construct pCENP-E1–339, similarly to as described by Yamane et al. (2019). The recombinant protein consisted of the CENP-E motor domain (Met1–Ser339) extended with MNHKVH at the N-terminus and GSHHHHHH at the C-terminus.
2.2. Protein preparation of CENP-E constructs
Wild-type CENP-E1–339 with extra residues was expressed in Escherichia coli BL21 (DE3) CodonPlus RIL cells as a C-terminal His6-fusion protein. The E. coli BL21 (DE3) CodonPlus RIL cells (Stratagene) were transformed with the plasmid and were grown at 37°C in 2YT medium containing 1.6% Bacto Tryptone (Nacalai), 1.0% yeast extract (Nacalai) and 0.5% NaCl (Wako) in the presence of 0.1 mg ml−1 ampicillin (Nacalai) and were induced with 0.4 mM isopropyl β-D-1-thiogalactopyranoside (IPTG; Nacalai) at 15°C overnight.
The recombinant protein was purified in three steps involving nickel-affinity, cation-exchange and gel-filtration M Tris–HCl pH 7.5, 0.5 M NaCl, 2 mM MgCl2, 0.2 mM EGTA, 5 mM β-mercaptoethanol, 25 mM imidazole, 10%(w/v) sucrose and protease-inhibitor cocktail (Roche) and adjusted to pH 7.4, and were disrupted by sonication. The cell lysate was centrifuged and the supernatant was loaded onto 1 ml Ni–NTA agarose resin (Qiagen) equilibrated with buffer consisting of 20 mM Tris–HCl, 0.3 M NaCl, 2 mM MgCl2, 5 mM β-mercaptoethanol, 20 mM imidazole, 10%(w/v) sucrose and adjusted to pH 7.4. After washing with buffer containing 25 mM imidazole, the proteins were eluted with buffer consisting of 500 mM imidazole, 50 mM piperazine-1,4-bis(2-ethanesulfonic acid) (PIPES)–NaOH, 0.1 M NaCl, 2 mM MgCl2, 5 mM β-mercaptoethanol, 10%(w/v) sucrose and adjusted to pH 6.8. The eluted protein was loaded onto a 1 ml HiTrap SP HP cation-exchange column (GE Healthcare) equilibrated with buffer consisting of 50 mM PIPES–NaOH pH 6.8, 2 mM MgCl2, 1 mM EGTA, 1 mM tris(2-carboxyethyl)phosphine (TCEP), 5%(w/v) sucrose and adjusted to pH 6.8, and was eluted with a linear gradient of 0–0.4 M NaCl. The eluted fractions were further purified by gel-filtration using a HiLoad 16/600 Superdex 200 prep-grade column equilibrated with buffer consisting of 50 mM PIPES–NaOH pH 6.8, 2 mM MgCl2, 1 mM EGTA, 1 mM TCEP, 5%(w/v) sucrose, 0.3 M NaCl and adjusted to pH 6.8. The eluted proteins were concentrated with a Vivaspin 20 centrifugal concentrator (Sartorius) with a 10 kDa molecular-mass cutoff. The concentration of CENP-E was determined with a NanoDrop One (Thermo Scientific) using an extinction coefficient of 3.186 × 104 M−1 cm−1. The purity of the CENP-E protein during the purification procedure was confirmed by SDS–PAGE analysis.
The harvested cells were resuspended in buffer consisting of 50 m2.3. Crystallization
The purified protein was at 11 mg ml−1 in 50 mM PIPES–NaOH pH 6.8, 300 mM NaCl, 2 mM MgCl2, 1 mM EGTA, 1 mM TCEP, 5%(w/v) sucrose. Crystallization was performed using the hanging-drop vapor-diffusion method at 4°C. After approximately ten days, imperfect crystals appeared. It has been reported that good crystals can be obtained using the microseed matrix seeding method (D'Arcy et al., 2014). The 11 mg ml−1 protein solution was mixed with CIBA in a molar ratio of 1:10 (at least 277 µM CENP-E1–339 and 2.77 mM CIBA). Crystallization was performed using the sitting-drop vapor-diffusion method at 4°C. Crystallization drops were prepared by mixing 0.9 µl of the CENP-E1–339–CIBA solution described above, 0.8 µl reservoir solution and 0.3 µl seed solution. The seed solution was prepared using the reservoir solution consisting of 90 mM Tris–HCl pH 7.5, 18%(w/v) PEG 3350. Hexahedron-shaped crystals appeared with approximate dimensions of 0.1 × 0.2 × 0.05 mm.
2.4. X-ray data collection and structure determination
A crystal was cryoprotected in a solution consisting of 50 mM PIPES–NaOH pH 6.8, 2 mM MgCl2, 1 mM TCEP, 1 mM EGTA, 18%(w/v) PEG 3350, 90 mM Tris–HCl pH 7.5, 5%(w/v) sucrose, 2.77 mM CIBA, 22%(w/v) glycerol and flash-cooled at 95 K. X-ray diffraction data were collected on beamline BL17A at the Photon Factory, KEK, Tsukuba, Japan and were processed and scaled with XDS (Kabsch, 2010) and SCALA (Evans, 2006). The structure was determined by the molecular-replacement method using MOLREP (Vagin & Teplyakov, 2010) in the CCP4 suite (Winn et al., 2011). The structure of CENP-E–MgADP 1t5c (Garcia-Saez et al., 2004; PDB entry 1t5c) was used as an initial model. Structural was performed with REFMAC5 (Murshudov et al., 2011) and Phenix (Liebschner et al., 2019). Manual model fitting was achieved with Coot (Emsley et al., 2010). Data-collection and are summarized in Table 1. Ramachandran statistics were calculated with MolProbity (Chen et al., 2010). Least-squares fitting between two structures was performed with PDBeFold (https://www.ebi.ac.uk/msd-srv/ssm/) using all residues. All molecular figures were produced with PyMOL (https://www.pymol.org/).

3. Results and discussion
3.1. Structure determination
We tried to determine the structure of the CENP-E motor domain in complex with its inhibitor CIBA. The structure was determined at 1.9 Å resolution, which was higher than that of the previously reported structure CENP-E–MgADP 1t5c (Garcia-Saez et al., 2004; PDB entry 1t5c; 2.5 Å resolution; Fig. 1a). Unfortunately, electron density for ADP instead of CIBA was observed in the nucleotide-binding site, although ADP had not been added during protein preparation (Fig. 1b). The determined structure was of the CENP-E motor domain in complex with MgADP. There are two molecules (chains A and B) in the The structure from this study is almost identical to the previously reported structure CENP-E–MgADP 1t5c (Garcia-Saez et al., 2004; PDB entry 1t5c), with a root-mean-square deviation (r.m.s.d.) for corresponding Cα atoms of 0.71 Å. Gel-filtration analysis has suggested that the CENP-E motor domain is monomeric (Garcia-Saez et al., 2004). Hereafter, molecule A is used to discuss the structure of the CENP-E motor domain.
Molecule A includes residues Glu4–Asn17, Ala27–Asn159, Asn161–Tyr191, Asn197–Lys216, Gly224–Ala243 and Leu252–Ser339 and MgADP. Molecule B comprises residues Glu4–Ser18, Ala27–Tyr191, Gln198–Lys216, Ser225–Ala243, Leu252–Gln276 and Phe280–Ser339 and MgADP. The Cα atoms of 301 residues in the two monomers were superposed by a least-squares fit using PDBeFold and their final r.m.s.d. was 0.28 Å. The average B factor of the protein was relatively high compared with the Wilson B factor (Table 1). This may be because the structure contains a large number of disordered and missing residues.
3.2. Overall structure
Fig. 1(a) shows a front view of the CENP-E–MgADP structure reported in this study. It has a mixed eight-stranded β-sheet core with flanking solvent-exposed α-helices and a small three-stranded antiparallel β-sheet in the N-terminal region (β1a, β1b and β1c). The long linker region of β9 and β10 (Fig. 1a) has the same docked conformation as described in the previously reported structure of the CENP-E motor domain (Garcia-Saez et al., 2004).
3.3. Structural comparison with known structures
The structure of chain A of CENP-E–MgADP reported in this study was compared with the previously determined structures of CENP-E–MgADP (Garcia-Saez et al., 2004; PDB entry 1t5c), the motor domain of Eg5 in complex with MgADP (Eg5–MgADP; Turner et al., 2001; PDB entry 1ii6) and Eg5–AMPPNP (Parke et al., 2010; PDB entry 3hqd) (Fig. 2). The CENP-E–MgADP structure determined at 1.9 Å resolution in this study will provide significantly more structural information than the previously determined CENP-E–MgADP 1t5c structure at 2.5 Å resolution. Several similar and differing features of the two structures are described. The structure in this study differed slightly from that of CENP-E–MgADP 1t5c. Loop L1 has been claimed to be unique to CENP-E (Garcia-Saez et al., 2004). The α0 helix is a conserved structure in kinesins such as Eg5. The structure in this study is nearly identical to CENP-E–MgADP 1t5c but these residues are disordered (Figs. 2 and 4a). The region containing α0 and L1 of CENP-E seems to be flexible, which indicates that this structure is unique to the CENP-E motor domain.
The structure at the beginning of L2 (residues 41–45 of chain A) differs from those in Eg5–MgADP and Eg5–MgAMPPNP but is nearly identical to that in CENP-E–MgADP 1t5c (Figs. 2 and 4a). L2 in CENP-E–MgADP is smaller than those in Eg5–MgADP and Eg5–AMPPNP. The loop itself has a double conformation. Thus, each of the residues Asp34–Asn36 of L2 in CENP-E–MgADP from this study has a double conformation. His54 of L3 in CENP–MgADP from this study has a double conformation.
The orientation of the side chain of His111 in the middle of α2 is the same as that in CENP-E–MgADP 1t5c but differs from those in Eg5–MgADP and Eg5–AMPPNP. Therefore, it is unique to CENP-E. The B factors of the main chain and side chain of His111 are below 40 Å2 (Fig. 3). The beginning of α2 is in almost the same position as in other kinesins although it is close to the nucleotide-binding site. The orientation of the α2 helix is similar to that in other kinesins such as Eg5 (Figs. 2b, 2c and 4b). The end of α2 of CENP-E–MgADP from this study is away from the eight-stranded β-sheet core. Although the number of residues in α2 is the same, the large r.m.s.d. value indicates that the α-helix is slightly shrunk compared with those of Eg5–MgADP and Eg5–MgAMPPNP. The r.m.s.d. for CENP-E–MgADP 1t5c is up to 0.6 Å, indicating that the structure of α2 is unique to CENP-E (Fig. 2a).
The structure of L5, which is located in the middle of α2 in kinesin motor domains and is involved in the binding of inhibitor by Eg5, is nearly identical to that of CENP-E–MgADP 1t5c and is smaller than those of Eg5–MgADP and Eg5–AMPPNP, as described in the previous report (Garcia-Saez et al., 2004; Fig. 4b). L5 of Eg5 regulates both nucleotide and microtubule binding through a set of reversible interactions with α3 (Muretta et al., 2013). His102 of CENP-E–MgADP from this study also has a double conformation.
The loop between the end of β5 and the beginning of β5b (residues 144–161), which is not conserved in kinesins, differs from those in CENP-E–MgADP 1t5c, Eg5–ADP and Eg5–MgAMPPNP (Fig. 2). Most of these residues have average B factors of over 55 Å2 (Fig. 3). The structure of the region between β5a and β5b (residues 156–161) differs from those in CENP-E–MgADP 1t5c, Eg5–MgADP and Eg5–MgAMPPNP (Fig. 2).
Helix α3 is relatively similar in the structures of CENP-E–MgADP 1t5c and Eg5–MgAMPPNP (Figs. 2a and 2c). The orientation of α3 is similar to that in CENP-E–MgADP 1t5c, but the positions of both ends of α3 are closer to the β-sheet core and are intermediate between the previously reported structures of Eg5–MgADP and Eg5–MgAMPPNP. Helix α3 of CENP-E–MgADP from this study has a larger number of residues than that of Eg5–MgAMPPNP.
L9 and L11, which correspond to switch I and II, respectively, of CENP-E–MgADP from this study, show high B factors (Fig. 3) and were not modeled. Owing to high flexibility, the structure differs from those of CENP-E–MgADP 1t5c, Eg5–MgADP and Eg5–MgAMPPNP. The r.m.s.d. values for the region 199–203 between the structure of CENP-E–MgADP from this study and Eg5–MgAMPPNP are high (Fig. 2c), suggesting that this region is involved in the nucleotide-binding site. The structure of the end of L11 was also unique to other kinesin structures. The average B factors of residues 252–258 (L11) were high, so these regions were flexible (Fig. 3). However, the structure of residues 252–254, which interacted with the symmetry-related molecule, was located in a slightly different position compared with CENP-E–MgADP 1t5c. This is a possible reason why the B factor of residue 253 is relatively low (Fig. 3).
The structure of L13 between α5 and β8 in this study is nearly identical to that in CENP-E–MgADP 1t5c, but not to that in Eg5–MgADP (Fig. 2), indicating that the main chain of residues 287–301 in this long region was unique to the CENP-E motor domain.
CENP-E–MgADP 1t5c contained a P300A mutation, whereas the CENP-E motor domain in this study was expressed as the wild type. Pro300 is unique to CENP-E in kinesins. The main chain of Pro300 and the peptide bond between residues 299 and 300 of CENP-E–MgADP from this study is located in almost the same position as that in CENP-E–MgADP 1t5c (Fig. 4c).
3.4. Nucleotide-binding site
MgADP and four water molecules are located in the nucleotide-binding pocket (Figs. 1b, 4b and 5). The Mg2+ ion interacts with a β-phosphate oxygen moiety, four water molecules and Thr93 Oγ1 at the end of the P-loop (Fig. 5). The adenosine ring moiety of ADP makes van der Waals interactions with the side chain of Tyr94 at the beginning of α2 of CENP-E (Fig. 5) or Phe in Eg5. At the nucleotide-binding site of CENP-E, hydrophobic interactions such as π–π stacking between ADP and Tyr94 are stronger than those in other kinesins. This is expected to be one potential reason why CENP-E tends to retain ADP for a long time. α2 and L5 located near ADP are shorter than in other kinesins, which is unique to CENP-E (Figs. 4a and 4b).
Owing to the larger number of residues in loop L1, which includes residues 18–26, compared with other kinesins, we think that the conserved residues 16–27 are disordered and are then located where they are able to interact with ADP. Further studies will be needed to support the possibility.
The CENP-E motor domain used in this study exhibited ATPase activity in the presence and absence of microtubules in an ATPase assay performed at 25°C. For , 4b and 5a). The ADP was derived from the bacteria used to express the CENP-E motor domain, and CENP-E is thought to have retained ADP throughout the purification procedure. This suggests that ADP release may be a control point in the role of CENP-E in chromosome congression during mitosis.
analysis, the CENP-E motor domain was prepared at 4°C without adding ATP/ADP; CIBA was then added after several days of purification. However, the structure of CENP-E–MgADP from this study contained ADP but not CIBA (Figs. 14. Conclusion
The structure was determined by crystallizing the CENP-E motor domain with its inhibitor CIBA. However, electron density for ADP instead of CIBA was observed in the nucleotide-binding site of CENP-E, even though ADP was not added during protein preparation. The determined structure at 1.9 Å resolution shows the CENP-E motor domain in complex with MgADP, and also gives much more structural information than the previously reported structure at 2.5 Å resolution. The results of this study support the biochemical view that the release of ADP from CENP-E is a rate-limiting step in the ATPase cycle (Sardar & Gilbert, 2012). In order to elucidate the structure of the CENP-E motor domain bound to its ATP-competitive inhibitor, it will be necessary to perform an additional experimental procedure to dissociate ADP from CENP-E before forming a CENP-E–inhibitor complex. Further studies will be needed to clarify the mechanism by which ADP dissociates from CENP-E.
This structure will contribute to understanding and clarifying the function of the kinesin CENP-E. Studies of CENP-E will also lead to the development of anticancer drugs and will be of considerable interest for future antimitotic therapies.
