摘要

Bacillithiol (Cys-GlcN-malate, BSH) has recently been identified as a novel low-molecular weightrnthiol in Bacillus anthracis, Staphylococcus aureus, and several other Gram-positive bacteria lackingrnglutathione and mycothiol. We have now characterized the first two enzymes for the BSH biosyntheticrnpathway in B. anthracis, which combine to produce R-D-glucosaminyl L-malate (GlcN-malate) from UDP-rnGlcNAc and L-malate. The structure of the GlcNAc-malate intermediate has been determined, as have thernkinetic parameters for the BaBshA glycosyltransferase (fGlcNAc-malate) and the BaBshB deacetylasern(fGlcN-malate). BSH is one of only two natural products reported to contain a malyl glycoside, and therncrystal structure of the BaBshA-UDP-malate ternary complex, determined in this work at 3.3 A ˚rnresolution,rnidentifies several active-site interactions important for the specific recognition of L-malate, but not otherrnR-hydroxy acids, as the acceptor substrate. In sharp contrast to the structures reported for the GlcNAc-1-D-rnmyo-inositol-3-phosphate synthase (MshA) apo and ternary complex forms, there is nomajor conformationalrnchange observed in the structures of the corresponding BaBshA forms. A mutant strain of B. anthracisrndeficient in the BshA glycosyltransferase fails to produce BSH, as predicted. This B. anthracis bshA locusrn(BA1558) has been identified in a transposon-site hybridization study as required for growth, sporulation, orrngermination [Day, W. A., Jr., Rasmussen, S. L., Carpenter, B. M., Peterson, S. N., and Friedlander, A. M.rn(2007) J. Bacteriol. 189, 3296-3301], suggesting that the biosynthesis of BSH could represent a target for therndevelopment of novel antimicrobials with broad-spectrum activity against Gram-positive pathogens likernB. anthracis. The metabolites that function in thiol redox buffering and homeostasis in Bacillus are not wellrnunderstood, and we present a composite picture based on this and other recent workthese ligands can effectively induce G-quadruplexnstructures in the G-rich 22-mer c-MYC DNA sequence and further stabilize the structure. Equilibriumnbinding constantsmeasured by isothermal titration calorimetermethods indicate a high affinity of the ligandsnfor the quadruplex structures (K ∼ 107nM-1n) and no affinity for the duplex DNA, demonstrating that thesenligands are selective for G-quadruplex structures. Surface plasmon resonance was also used to compute thenbinding while fluorescence resonance energy transfer-based assay was additionally used to confirm thenselectivity.Moreover, using real time PCRwe observed up to 90%downregulation of c-MYC transcripts aftern24 h of ligand treatment in HeLa cells. Using a luciferase assay we show the downregulation of the proteinnlevels. Fluorescent-assisted cell sorter-based cell cycle analysis showed a prominent arrest of cells in the sub-nG1 stage upon treatment of ligands that leads toward apoptosis. Altogether, these experiments support thenhypothesis that the present molecules are effective in specifically binding and stabilizing quadruplexes andnprovide a suitable scaffold to develop into a quadruplex-targeting therapeutic agent.
