SHP2, a protein-tyrosine
phosphatase (PTP), is a key signaling regulator in multiple cell signaling
processes including the Ras/MAPK pathway. This has led to SHP2 being identified
as a therapeutic target in multiple types of cancers and autoimmune disorders.
However, the role that the C-terminal residues play when they interact with
other SHP2 domains remains unknown. This study presents data to illustrate that
the C-terminal residues interact intramolecularly with other domains to inhibit
PTP activity. Additionally, the identification of a specific and potent SHP2
inhibitor has proven difficult because of the high homology and positive nature
of the PTP active site. This study presents the data from a high throughput
fragment screen identifying several promising HIT compounds that may be further
developed into potent and selective SHP2 inhibitors. Furthermore, data
supporting the development of a selective SHP2 covalent inhibitor from a
nonselective core molecule is presented.
