PubMed Abstract: PIK3CA, the gene that encodes the catalytic subunit of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase α (PI3Kα), is frequently mutated in breast and other types of cancer. A specific inhibitor that targets the mutant forms of PI3Kα could maximize treatment efficiency while minimizing side-effects. Herein we describe the identification of novel binding pockets that may provide an opportunity for the design of mutant selective inhibitors. Using a fragment-based approach, we screened a library of 352 fragments (MW<300Da) for binding to PI3Kα by X-ray crystallography. Five novel binding pockets were identified, each providing potential opportunities for inhibitor design. Of particular interest was a binding pocket near Glu542, which is located in one of the two most frequently mutated domains.
