TITLE AND SUBTITLEComputational Modeling of the Prostate-Expressed Lysophosphatidic Acid Receptor Edg-76. AUTHOR(S):Vineet M. Sardar, Ph.D. Abby L. Parrill, Ph.D.
FUNDING NUMBERSDAMD17-02-1-0248
PERFORMING ORGANIZATION NAME(S) AND ADDRESS(ES)The University of Memphis Memphis, Tennessee 38152 E-Mall:vsardar@Memphis.edu Recently it was shown that the lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) receptor LPAs/EDG? is expressed in human prostate cancer cell lines namely LNCap and Du-145. Based on these findings and evidence that LPA is a very potent mitogen, the overall goal of this proposed research is to rationally design LPAs/EDG? selective ligands. We have identified the probable binding position of two LPAi/EDG2 and LPAa/EDG? selective inhibitors namely DGPP (8:0) and FAP (12:0). The binding position and the critical amino acids involved in interacting with these inhibitors relative to the endogenous ligand LPA (18:1) is discussed.

SUBJECT TERMS:Edg-7, computational modeling, acid receptor We explored the binding site and assessed the critical amino acid interactions of antagonists and agonists by docking to the inactive and active form of the receptor respectively.The antagonists, DGPP (8:0) and FAP (12:0), were docked against the inactive receptor models.The agonists, R-LPA (18:1) and S-LPA (18:1) were docked against the active receptor models.One hundred complexes of receptor-ligand pair were generated, in order to evaluate the binding The R and S isomers of LPA (18:1) were docked against the active model of LPA3 to assess the stereo-selectivity of the receptor. A previous study showed that the R and S isomers of 1-C16-GP (Figure 1) were equaUy active in mobilizing Ca^^ in RH7777 cells stably expressing LPAi, LPA2, and LPAa.^^ Based on our results as shovra in Table 1 we do not see any differences in energy with respect to R and S isomer. On assessing the complex of the R isomer of LPA (18:1) with the active form of LPA3 receptor we observe that the polar phosphate ftinctionality is in close proximity to ion-pair with R105 and R276. We also observe that the hydroxyl group at the sn-2 position is in a position to form hydrogen bond with Q106 as shown in figure 4. ...
