摘要

Growing experimental evidence has revealed the existence of programmed cell death (PCD) systems in bacteria. Among these is the mazEF system, which is a regulable suicide module located on the chromosome of E. coli and of some other bacteria, including pathogens. Several well-known antibiotics have recently been found to cause cell death in E. coli by indirectly activating this built-in suicide module. These antibiotics belong to two groups: (i) inhibitors of transcription and/or translation; and (ii) inhibitors of folic acid metabolism resulting in thymine starvation. These data, together with the recent elucidation of the crystal structure of mazEF-directed components, hold promise for a rational chemical design of a new class of antibiotics that directly activate chromosomal suicide modules by interacting with their components. Because multi-drug resistance among bacterial pathogens is becoming more widespread, the results obtained might be useful as a basis for producing alternative drugs.
