The growth/motility factor hepatocyte growth factor/scatter factor (HGF/SF) and its receptor, the tyrosine kinase MET, constitute a signalling system essential for embryogenesis and for tissue/organ regeneration in post-natal life. HGF/SF-MET signalling, however, also plays a key role in the onset of metastasis of a large number of human tumors. Both HGF/SF and MET are high mol. weight proteins that bury an extensive interface upon complex formation and thus constitute a challenging target for the development of low mol. weight inhibitors. Here we have used surface plasmon resonance (SPR), NMR (NMR) and X-ray crystallog. to screen a diverse fragment library of 1338 members as well as a range of piperazine-like compounds Several small mols. were found to bind in the lysine-binding pocket of the kringle 1 domain of HGF/SF and its truncated splice variant NK1. We have defined the binding mode of these compounds, explored their biol. activity and we show that selected fragments inhibit MET downstream signalling. Thus we demonstrate that targeting the lysine-binding pocket of NK1 is an effective strategy to generate MET receptor antagonists and we offer proof of concept that the HGF/SF-MET interface may be successfully targeted with small mols. These studies have broad implications for the development of HGF/SF-MET therapeutics and cancer treatment.
