Isatin (indole-2, 3-dione) is a non-peptide endogenous bioregulator exhibiting a wide spectrum of biological activity, realized in the cell via interactions with numerous isatin-binding proteins, their complexes, and (sub) interactomes. There is increasing evidence that isatin may be involved in the regulation of complex formations by modulating the affinity of the interacting protein partners. Recently, using Surface Plasmon Resonance (SPR) analysis, we have found that isatin in a concentration dependent manner increased interaction between two human mitochondrial proteins, ferrochelatase (FECH), and adrenodoxine reductase (ADR). In this study, we have investigated the affinity-enhancing effect of isatin on the FECH/ADR interaction. The SPR analysis has shown that FECH forms not only homodimers, but also FECH/ADR heterodimers. The affinity-enhancing effect of isatin on the FECH/ADR interaction was highly specific and was not reproduced by structural analogues of isatin. Bioinformatic analysis performed using three dimensional (3D) models of the interacting proteins and in silico molecular docking revealed the most probable mechanism involving FECH/isatin/ADR ternary complex formation. In this complex, isatin is targeted to the interface of interacting FECH and ADR monomers, forming hydrogen bonds with both FECH and ADR. This is a new regulatory mechanism by which isatin can modulate protein-protein interactions (PPI). |
