| Abstract Text | Increasing use of covalent and noncovalent inhibitors of Bruton's tyrosine kinase (BTK) has elucidated a series of acquired drug-resistant BTK mutations in patients with B cell malignancies. Here we identify inhibitor resistance mutations in BTK with distinct enzymatic activities, including some that impair BTK enzymatic activity while imparting novel protein-protein interactions that sustain B cell receptor (BCR) signaling. Furthermore, we describe a clinical-stage BTK and IKZF1/3 degrader, NX-2127, that can bind and proteasomally degrade each mutant BTK proteoform, resulting in potent blockade of BCR signaling. Treatment of chronic lymphocytic leukemia with NX-2127 achieves >80% degradation of BTK in patients and demonstrates proof-of-concept therapeutic benefit. These data reveal an oncogenic scaffold function of mutant BTK that confers resistance across clinically approved BTK inhibitors but is overcome by BTK degradation in patients. | ||||||||||||

| NX-2127 | NX 2127|NX2127 | BTK inhibitor 39 | NX-2127 is a small molecule that induces degradation of BTK, which may lead to inhibition of the growth of malignant B-cells (PMID: 38301010). |
| Gene | Variant | Impact | Protein Effect | Variant Description | Associated with drug Resistance |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| BTK | C481S | missense | no effect | BTK C481S lies within the protein kinase domain of the Btk protein (UniProt.org). C481S demonstrates kinase activity similar to wild-type Btk (PMID: 38301010), but confers Imbruvica (ibrutinib) resistance in cell culture (PMID: 27282255, PMID: 28573668) through interference of drug binding (PMID: 25189416, PMID: 23940282). | Y |
| BTK | L528W | missense | unknown | BTK L528W lies within the protein kinase domain of the Btk protein (UniProt.org). L528W confers resistance to BTK inhibitors in culture (PMID: 35196427, PMID: 36183831, PMID: 39728925), results in loss of kinase activity in in vitro assays (PMID: 36183831, PMID: 38301010), increased calcium ion flux and decreased Btk and Plcg2 phosphorylation in culture (PMID: 35196427), but retains downstream signaling (PMID: 35196427) and calcium ion flux similar to wild-type in a different study (PMID: 36183831), and therefore, its effect on Btk protein function is unknown. | Y |
| BTK | M437R | missense | unknown | BTK M437R lies within the protein kinase domain of the Btk protein (UniProt.org). M437R retains Akt and Erk phosphorylation, but results in increased calcium ion flux, decreased Btk and Plcg2 phosphorylation in culture (PMID: 35196427), and decreased kinase activity in an in vitro assay (PMID: 38301010), and demonstrates resistance to BTK inhibitors in culture (PMID: 35196427), and therefore, its effect on Btk protein function is unknown. | Y |
| BTK | V416L | missense | loss of function - predicted | BTK V416L lies within the protein kinase domain of the Btk protein (UniProt.org). V416L retains Akt and Erk phosphorylation in culture (PMID: 35196427, PMID: 36661329), but results in decreased Btk autophosphorylation and loss of kinase activity in culture (PMID: 38301010), decreased Btk and Plcg2 phosphorylation and increased calcium ion flux in culture, and demonstrates resistance to BTK inhibitors in culture (PMID: 35196427, PMID: 36661329), and therefore, is predicted to lead to a loss of Btk protein function. | Y |
