Bruton's tyrosine kinase
Bruton's tyrosine kinase (abbreviated Btk or BTK), also known as tyrosine-protein kinase BTK, is a tyrosine kinase that is encoded by the BTK gene in humans. BTK plays a crucial role in B cell development.
Structure
[edit]BTK contains five different protein interaction domains. These domains include an amino terminal pleckstrin homology (PH) domain, a proline-rich TEC homology (TH) domain, SRC homology (SH) domains SH2 and SH3, as well as a protein kinase domain with tyrosine phosphorylation activity.[5]
Part of the TH domain is folded against the PH domain while the rest is intrinsically disordered.
Function
[edit]BTK plays a crucial role in B cell development as it is required for transmitting signals from the pre-B cell receptor that forms after successful immunoglobulin heavy chain rearrangement.[6] It also has a role in mast cell activation through the high-affinity IgE receptor.[7]
BTK contains a PH domain that binds phosphatidylinositol (3,4,5)-trisphosphate (PIP3). PIP3 binding induces BTK to phosphorylate phospholipase C (PLC), which in turn hydrolyzes PIP2, a phosphatidylinositol, into two second messengers, inositol triphosphate (IP3) and diacylglycerol (DAG), which then go on to modulate the activity of downstream proteins during B-cell signalling.[8]
Clinical significance
[edit]Mutations in the BTK gene are implicated in the primary immunodeficiency disease X-linked agammaglobulinemia (Bruton's agammaglobulinemia); sometimes abbreviated to XLA and selective IgM deficiency.[9] Patients with XLA have normal pre-B cell populations in their bone marrow but these cells fail to mature and enter the circulation. The BTK gene is located on the X chromosome (Xq21.3-q22).[10] At least 400 mutations of the BTK gene have been identified. Of these, at least 212 are considered to be disease-causing mutations.[11]
BTK is important for the survival and proliferation of leukemic B cells, which motivated efforts to develop BTK inhibitors as treatments for B cell malignancies such as mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) and chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL).[12] As BTK is also linked to autoimmune disorders,[13][14] recent efforts have sought to evaluate BTK inhibition as a therapeutic strategy for treatment of diseases such as multiple sclerosis (MS) and rheumatoid arthritis (RA).[15]
BTK inhibitors
[edit]Approved drugs that inhibit BTK:
- Ibrutinib (Imbruvica), a selective Bruton's tyrosine kinase inhibitor.
- Acalabrutinib (Calquence), approved in October 2017[16] for relapsed mantle cell lymphoma and in October 2019 for Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) and Small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL)
- Zanubrutinib (Brukinsa) for mantle cell lymphoma, chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), or small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL).[17] It can be taken by mouth.[18][19]
- Tirabrutinib (Velexbru), approved in March 2020, in Japan, for the treatment of recurrent or refractory primary central nervous system lymphoma.[20]
- Pirtobrutinib (Jaypirca), a reversible (non-covalent) inhibitor of BTK, for mantle cell lymphoma.[21][22]
- Orelabrutinib, approved in China for patients with mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) and chronic lymphocytic leukemia/small lymphocytic lymphoma (CLL/SLL), who have received at least one treatment in the past.[23]
Various drugs that inhibit BTK are in clinical trials:[24]
- Phase 3:
- Evobrutinib for multiple sclerosis.[25][26][27]
- Tolebrutinib, for multiple sclerosis.[28][29]
- Remibrutinib, for multiple sclerosis.[30]
- Fenebrutinib (RG7845) for multiple sclerosis.[31][32]
- Rilzabrutinib
- Phase 2:
- ABBV-105 for systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE)[33]
- Fenebrutinib (GDC-0853) for rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus, multiple sclerosis and chronic spontaneous urticaria.[34]
- Phase 1:
- Tirabrutinib, for non-Hodgkin lymphoma and/or CLL.[35] Renamed GS-4059 and now in trial NCT02457598.[36]
- Spebrutinib (AVL-292, CC-292) [37]
- HM71224, for autoimmune diseases, under development by Hanmi Pharmaceutical and Lilly as of 2015[38]
- Luxeptinib (CG-806), for CLL, SLL, non-Hodgkin lymphoma, acute myeloid leukaemia, and myelodysplastic syndromes (Phase I Trial; Phase I Trial). The inhibitor targets multiple kinase pathways, including BTK and FLT3.[39]
- Elsubrutinib
- Vecabrutinib
- Nemtabrutinib
Discovery
[edit]Bruton's tyrosine kinase is named for Ogden Bruton, who first described XLA in 1952.[10][40] Later studies in 1993 and 1994 reported the discovery of BTK (initially termed B cell progenitor kinase or BPK) and found that BTK levels are reduced in B cells from XLA patients.[41][42][43]
