Résumé

The kinesin Eg5 plays an essential role in bipolar spindle formation. A variety of structurally diverse inhibitors of the human kinesin Eg5, including monastrol and STLC, share the same binding pocket on Eg5, composed by helix α2/loop L5, and helix α3 of the Eg5 motor domain. Previous biochemical analysis in the inhibitor binding pocket of Eg5 identified key residues in the inhibitor binding pocket of Eg5 that in the presence of either monastrol or STLC exhibited ATPase activities similar to the untreated wild type Eg5. Here we evaluated the ability of full-length human Eg5 carrying point mutations in the drug binding pocket to confer resistance in HeLa and U2OS cells to either monastrol or STLC, as measured by the formation of bipolar spindles. Both transfected cells expressing wild-type Eg5 and untransfected cells were equally sensitive to both inhibitors. Expression of Eg5 single point mutants R119A, D130A, L132A, I136A, L214A and E215A conferred significant resistance to monastrol. Certain mutations inducing monastrol resistance such as R119A, D130A and L214A also conferred significant resistance to STLC. For the first time at a cellular level, the propensity of selected Eg5 point mutants to confer drug resistance confirms the target specificity of monastrol and STLC for Eg5. These data also suggest a possible mechanism by which drug resistance may occur in tumors treated with agents targeting Eg5.
