Abstract

Bromodomain-containing protein 9 (BRD9) is a key player in chromatin remodeling and gene expression regulation, and it is closely associated with the development of various diseases, including cancers. Recent studies have indicated that inhibition of BRD9 may have potential value in the treatment of certain cancers. Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations, Markov modeling and principal component analysis were performed to investigate the binding mechanisms of allosteric inhibitor POJ and orthosteric inhibitor 82I to BRD9 and its allosteric regulation. Our results indicate that binding of these two types of inhibitors induces significant structural changes in the protein, particularly in the formation and dissolution of α-helical regions. Markov flux analysis reveals notable changes occurring in the α-helicity near the ZA loop during the inhibitor binding process. Calculations of binding free energies reveal that the cooperation of orthosteric and allosteric inhibitors affects binding ability of inhibitors to BRD9 and modifies the active sites of orthosteric and allosteric positions. This research is expected to provide new insights into the inhibitory mechanism of 82I and POJ on BRD9 and offers a theoretical foundation for development of cancer treatment strategies targeting BRD9.
