Abstract
A commonly used small-molecule probe in cell-signaling research is the phosphoinositide 3-kinase inhibitor LY294002. Quantitative chemoproteomic profiling shows that LY294002 and LY303511, a close analogue devoid of PI3K activity, inhibit the BET bromodomain proteins BRD2, BRD3, and BRD4 that comprise a family of targets structurally unrelated to PI3K. Both compounds competitively inhibit acetyl-lysine binding of the first but not the second bromodomain of BET proteins in cell extracts. X-ray crystallography shows that the chromen-4-one scaffold represents a new bromodomain pharmacophore and establishes LY294002 as a dual kinase and BET-bromodomain inhibitor, whereas LY303511 exhibits anti-inflammatory and antiproliferative effects similar to the recently discovered BET inhibitors.
