FKBP12

The immunophilin protein FKBP12 (FK506-binding protein) is the target of the natural compounds FK506 and rapamycin. The FKBP/rapamycin or FKBP/FK506 complex then binds to several other proteins and suppresses immune reactions. Drug screening and design has turned up a selection of other small molecules that bind with high specificity to FKBP12 itself or to mutants of FKBP12. A second human protein, FRB is among the most prominent binding targets of the FKBP/rapamycin complex (using the "other face" of the rapamycin molecule). Rapamycin can herefore induce the hetero-dimerization of FKBP12 and FRB.
