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 protein kinase domain with tyrosine phosphorylation activity.[5]

Part of the TH domain is folded against the PH domain while the rest is intrinsically disordered.

Function

Involvement of BTK in B cell receptor signaling
Involvement of BTK in B cell receptor signaling

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

Btk contains a PH domain that binds

diacylglycerol (DAG), which then go on to modulate the activity of downstream proteins during B-cell signalling.[8]

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.[9] 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).[10] At least 400 mutations of the BTK gene have been identified. Of these, at least 212 are considered to be disease-causing mutations.[11]

BTK inhibitors

Approved drugs that inhibit BTK:

  • Ibrutinib (Imbruvica), a selective Bruton's tyrosine kinase inhibitor.
  • Acalabrutinib (Calquence), approved in October 2017[12] for relapsed mantle cell lymphoma and in October 2019 for Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) and Small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL)
  • by mouth.[14][15]
  • Tirabrutinib (Velexbru), approved in March 2020, in Japan, for the treatment of recurrent or refractory primary central nervous system lymphoma.[16]
  • Pirtobrutinib (Jaypirca), a reversible (non-covalent) inhibitor of BTK, for mantle cell lymphoma.[17][18]
  • small lymphocytic lymphoma (CLL/SLL), who have received at least one treatment in the past.[19]

Various drugs that inhibit BTK are in clinical trials:[20]

Discovery

Bruton's tyrosine kinase was discovered in 1993 and is named for Ogden Bruton, who first described XLA in 1952.[10]
