Title	A BRET Biosensor for Measuring Uncompetitive Engagement of PRMT5 Complexes in Cells
Description	Protein arginine methyl transferase 5 (PRMT5) plays a global role in cell physiology and is an established therapeutic target in cancer. In approximately 10-15% of human cancers, deletion of the methylthioadenosine phosphorylase (MTAP) gene results in accumulation of methylthioadenosine (MTA), exposing a synthetic lethality and opportunity for precision medicine by selective targeting of PRMT5 in this context. Reported small molecule PRMT5 inhibitors engage either cosubstrate S-adenosyl methionine (SAM) or peptide-substrate pockets through diverse mechanisms. A subset of chemotypes demonstrate uncompetitive engagement with SAM or its inhibitory metabolic precursor, MTA. Although uncompetitive engagement can be evaluated in cell-free systems, no methods exist to directly assess this in cells. Here, we describe the development of a fluorescent probe that acts as a dynamic BRET biosensor of the intracellular SAM/MTA pool that overcomes the current limitations of competitive binding analyses. Using this biosensor, we evaluate a range of diverse PRMT5 inhibitors to mechanistically characterize and quantify uncompetitive target engagement as well as ternary complex formation at PRMT5-SAM and PRMT5-MTA complexes in live cells, enabling direct insights into drug mechanism-of-action and metabolite-dependent responses of inhibitors.
