Abstract

Phosphorylation of extracellular signal-regulated kinase (Erk) is tightly controlled by dual specificity phosphatases (DSPases), but few inhibitors of Erk dephosphorylation have been identified. Using a high-content, fluorescence-based cellular assay and the National Cancer Institute's 1990 agent Diversity Set, we identified ten compounds (0.5%) that significantly increased phospho-Erk cytonuclear differences in intact cells. Three of the ten positive compounds inhibited the mitogen-activated protein kinase phosphatase-3 (MKP-3/PYST-1) in vitro without affecting VHR or PTP1B phosphatases. The most potent inhibitor of MKP-3 had an IC50 of <10 μM and inhibited MKP-3 in a novel, fluorescence-based multiparameter chemical complementation assay. These results suggest that the phospho-Erk nuclear accumulation assay may be a useful tool to discover DSPase inhibitors with biological activity.
