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
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 kinase domain with enzymatic activity.[5]
Function
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, 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.
Clinical significance
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.[8] 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).[9] At least 400 mutations of the BTK gene have been identified. Of these, at least 212 are considered to be disease-causing mutations.[10]
BTK inhibitors
Approved drugs that inhibit BTK:
- Ibrutinib (Imbruvica), a selective Bruton's tyrosine kinase inhibitor.
- Acalabrutinib (Calquence), approved in October 2017[11] for relapsed mantle cell lymphoma.
- Zanubrutinib (Brukinsa) for mantle cell lymphoma, chronic lymphocytic leukemia, or small lymphocytic lymphoma.[12] It can be taken by mouth.[13][14]
- Tirabrutinib (Velexbru), approved in March 2020, in Japan, for the treatment of recurrent or refractory primary central nervous system lymphoma.[15]
- Pirtobrutinib (Jaypirca), a reversible (non-covalent) inhibitor of BTK, for mantle cell lymphoma.[16][17]
Various drugs that inhibit BTK are in clinical trials:[18]
- Phase 3:
- Acalabrutinib, for relapsed chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), 95% overall remission reported.
- Evobrutinib for multiple sclerosis.[19][20][21]
- Tolebrutinib, for multiple sclerosis.[22][23]
- Remibrutinib, for multiple sclerosis.[24]
- Fenebrutinib (RG7845) for multiple sclerosis.[25][26]
- Phase 2:
- Phase 1:
- ONO-4059 for non-Hodgkin lymphoma and/or CLL.[29] Renamed GS-4059 and now in trial NCT02457598.[30]
- Spebrutinib (AVL-292, CC-292) [31]
- HM71224 for autoimmune diseases, under development by Hanmi Pharmaceutical and Lilly as of 2015[32]
Discovery
Bruton's tyrosine kinase was discovered in 1993 and is named for Ogden Bruton, who first described XLA in 1952.[9]
