drug development | the enzyme is a target for anticancer drugs, because many cancer cells depend on its activity for proliferation. ACLY is also a target against dyslipidaemia and hepatic steatosis. Under physiological conditions, citrate carries three negative charges and establishes predominantly hydrophilic and ionic interactions with the enzyme in its binding site, which would not be optimal for drug discovery. The extensive conformational changes observed here reveal a hydrophobic cavity in the core of the citrate domain allowing the high-affinity binding of more hydrophobic and drug-like molecules such as NDI-091143. The allosteric site offers an attractive target for the development of ACLY inhibitors | Homo sapiens |

methyl 3-chloro-5-(N-(4,6-difluoro-[1,1'-biphenyl]-3-yl)sulfamoyl)-4-hydroxybenzoate | i.e. NDI-091143, the structure of the full-length human ACLY homo-tetramer in complex NDI-091143 is determined by cryo-electron microscopy. The compound is located in an allosteric, mostly hydrophobic cavity next to the citrate-binding site, and requires extensive conformational changes in the enzyme that indirectly disrupt citrate binding | Homo sapiens |
