Fragment-based discovery of selective inhibitors of the Mycobacterium tuberculosis protein tyrosine phosphatase PtpA.

ABSTRACT: The development of low muM inhibitors of the Mycobacterium tuberculosis phosphatase PtpA is reported. The most potent of these inhibitors (K(i)=1.4+/-0.3 microM) was found to be selective when tested against a panel of human tyrosine and dual-specificity phosphatases (11-fold vs the highly homologous HCPtpA, and >70-fold vs all others tested). Modeling the inhibitor-PtpA complexes explained the structure-activity relationships observed in vitro and revealed further possibilities for compound development.

Discovery of Mycobacterium tuberculosis protein tyrosine phosphatase B (PtpB) inhibitors from natural products.

Project description:Protein tyrosine phosphatase B (PtpB) is one of the virulence factors secreted into the host cell by Mycobacterium tuberculosis. PtpB attenuates host immune defenses by interfering with signal transduction pathways in macrophages and, therefore, it is considered a promising target for the development of novel anti-tuberculosis drugs. Here we report the discovery of natural compound inhibitors of PtpB among an in house library of more than 800 natural substances by means of a multidisciplinary approach, mixing in silico screening with enzymatic and kinetics studies and MS assays. Six natural compounds proved to inhibit PtpB at low micromolar concentrations (< 30 µM) with Kuwanol E being the most potent with K i = 1.6 ± 0.1 µM. To the best of our knowledge, Kuwanol E is the most potent natural compound PtpB inhibitor reported so far, as well as it is the first non-peptidic PtpB inhibitor discovered from natural sources. Compounds herein identified may inspire the design of novel specific PtpB inhibitors.

Mycobacterium tuberculosis protein tyrosine phosphatase (PtpA) excludes host vacuolar-H+-ATPase to inhibit phagosome acidification.

Project description:Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) pathogenicity depends on its ability to inhibit phagosome acidification and maturation processes after engulfment by macrophages. Here, we show that the secreted Mtb protein tyrosine phosphatase (PtpA) binds to subunit H of the macrophage vacuolar-H(+)-ATPase (V-ATPase) machinery, a multisubunit protein complex in the phagosome membrane that drives luminal acidification. Furthermore, we show that the macrophage class C vacuolar protein sorting complex, a key regulator of endosomal membrane fusion, associates with V-ATPase in phagosome maturation, suggesting a unique role for V-ATPase in coordinating phagosome-lysosome fusion. PtpA interaction with host V-ATPase is required for the previously reported dephosphorylation of VPS33B and subsequent exclusion of V-ATPase from the phagosome during Mtb infection. These findings show that inhibition of phagosome acidification in the mycobacterial phagosome is directly attributed to PtpA, a key protein needed for Mtb survival and pathogenicity within host macrophages.

Structural basis for selective inhibition of Mycobacterium tuberculosis protein tyrosine phosphatase PtpB.

Project description:Tyrosine kinases and phosphatases establish the crucial balance of tyrosine phosphorylation in cellular signaling, but creating specific inhibitors of protein Tyr phosphatases (PTPs) remains a challenge. Here, we report the development of a potent, selective inhibitor of Mycobacterium tuberculosis PtpB, a bacterial PTP that is secreted into host cells where it disrupts unidentified signaling pathways. The inhibitor, (oxalylamino-methylene)-thiophene sulfonamide (OMTS), showed an IC(50) of 440 +/- 50 nM and >60-fold specificity for PtpB over six human PTPs. The 2 A resolution crystal structure of PtpB in complex with OMTS revealed a large rearrangement of the enzyme, with some residues shifting >27 A relative to the PtpB:PO(4) complex. Extensive contacts with the catalytic loop provide a potential basis for inhibitor selectivity. Two OMTS molecules bound adjacent to each other, raising the possibility of a second substrate phosphotyrosine binding site in PtpB. The PtpB:OMTS structure provides an unanticipated framework to guide inhibitor improvement.

Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis PtpA is an endogenous tyrosine phosphatase secreted during infection.

Project description:Adaptive gene expression in prokaryotes is mediated by protein kinases and phosphatases. These regulatory proteins mediate phosphorylation of histidine or aspartate in two-component systems and serine/threonine or tyrosine in eukaryotic and eukaryote-like protein kinase systems. The genome sequence of Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis, the causative agent of Johne's disease, does not possess a defined tyrosine kinase. Nevertheless, it encodes for protein tyrosine phosphatases. Here, we report that Map1985, is a functional low-molecular tyrosine phosphatase that is secreted intracellularly upon macrophage infection. This finding suggests that Map1985 might contribute to the pathogenesis of Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis by dephosphorylating essential macrophage signaling and/or adaptor molecules.

Highly Potent and Selective <i>N</i>-Aryl Oxamic Acid-Based Inhibitors for <i>Mycobacterium tuberculosis</i> Protein Tyrosine Phosphatase B.

Project description:Tuberculosis is an infectious disease caused by the bacterium Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb). Mtb protein tyrosine phosphatase B (mPTPB) is a virulence factor required for Mtb survival in host macrophages. Consequently, mPTPB represents an exciting target for tuberculosis treatment. Here, we identified N-phenyl oxamic acid as a highly potent and selective monoacid-based phosphotyrosine mimetic for mPTPB inhibition. SAR studies on the initial hit, compound 4 (IC50 = 257 nM), resulted in several highly potent inhibitors with IC50 values lower than 20 nM for mPTPB. Among them, compound 4t showed a Ki of 2.7 nM for mPTPB with over 4500-fold preference over 25 mammalian PTPs. Kinetic, molecular docking, and site-directed mutagenesis analyses confirmed these compounds as active site-directed reversible inhibitors of mPTPB. These inhibitors can reverse the altered host cell immune responses induced by the bacterial phosphatase. Furthermore, the inhibitors possess molecular weights <400 Da, log D7.4 < 2.5, topological polar surface area < 75, ligand efficiency > 0.43, and good aqueous solubility and metabolic stability, thus offering excellent starting points for further therapeutic development.

Discovery of selective menaquinone biosynthesis inhibitors against Mycobacterium tuberculosis.

Project description:Aurachin RE (1) is a strong antibiotic that was recently found to possess 1,4-dihydroxy-2-naphthoate prenyltransferase (MenA) and bacterial electron transport inhibitory activities. Aurachin RE is the only molecule in a series of aurachin natural products that has the chiral center in the alkyl side chain at C9'-position. To identify selective MenA inhibitors against Mycobacterium tuberculosis , a series of chiral molecules were designed based on the structures of previously identified MenA inhibitors and 1. The synthesized molecules were evaluated in in vitro assays, including MenA enzyme and bacterial growth inhibitory assays. We could identify novel MenA inhibitors that showed significant increase in potency of killing nonreplicating M. tuberculosis in the low oxygen recovery assay (LORA) without inhibiting other Gram-positive bacterial growth even at high concentrations. The MenA inhibitors reported here are useful new pharmacophores for the development of selective antimycobacterial agents with strong activity against nonreplicating M. tuberculosis.

Substrate-based fragment identification for the development of selective, nonpeptidic inhibitors of striatal-enriched protein tyrosine phosphatase.

Project description:High levels of striatal-enriched protein tyrosine phosphatase (STEP) activity are observed in a number of neuropsychiatric disorders such as Alzheimer's disease. Overexpression of STEP results in the dephosphorylation and inactivation of many key neuronal signaling molecules, including ionotropic glutamate receptors. Moreover, genetically reducing STEP levels in AD mouse models significantly reversed cognitive deficits and decreased glutamate receptor internalization. These results support STEP as a potential target for drug discovery for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease. Herein, a substrate-based approach for the discovery and optimization of fragments called substrate activity screening (SAS) has been applied to the development of low molecular weight (<450 Da) and nonpeptidic, single-digit micromolar mechanism-based STEP inhibitors with greater than 20-fold selectivity across multiple tyrosine and dual specificity phosphatases. Significant levels of STEP inhibition in rat cortical neurons are also observed.

Design and synthesis of nonpeptidic, small molecule inhibitors for the Mycobacterium tuberculosis protein tyrosine phosphatase PtpB.

Project description:The design and synthesis of new inhibitor analogues for the Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) phosphatase PtpB is described. Analogues were synthesized by incorporation of two common and effective phosphate mimetics, the isothiazolidinone (IZD) and the difluoromethylphosphonic acid (DFMP). The basic scaffold of the inhibitor was identified from structure-activity relationships established for a previously published isoxazole inhibitor, while the phosphate mimetics were chosen based on their proven cell permeability and activity when incorporated into previously reported inhibitors for the phosphatase PTP1B. The inhibitory activity of each compound was evaluated, and each was found to have low or submicromolar affinity for PtpB.

Structure and substrate recognition of the Staphylococcus aureus protein tyrosine phosphatase PtpA.

Project description:Phosphosignaling through pSer/pThr/pTyr is emerging as a common signaling mechanism in prokaryotes. The human pathogen Staphylococcus aureus produces two low-molecular-weight protein tyrosine phosphatases (PTPs), PtpA and PtpB, with unknown functions. To provide the structural context for understanding PtpA function and substrate recognition, establish PtpA's structural relations within the PTP family, and provide a framework for the design of specific inhibitors, we solved the crystal structure of PtpA at 1 Å resolution. While PtpA adopts the common, conserved PTP fold and shows close overall similarity to eukaryotic PTPs, several features in the active site and surface organization are unique and can be explored to design selective inhibitors. A peptide bound in the active site mimics a phosphotyrosine substrate, affords insight into substrate recognition, and provides a testable substrate prediction. Genetic deletion of ptpA or ptpB does not affect in vitro growth or cell wall integrity, raising the possibility that PtpA and PtpB have specialized functions during infection.

Cefsulodin Inspired Potent and Selective Inhibitors of mPTPB, a Virulent Phosphatase from Mycobacterium tuberculosis.

Project description:mPTPB is a virulent phosphatase from Mycobacterium tuberculosis and a promising therapeutic target for tuberculosis. To facilitate mPTPB-based drug discovery, we identified ?-sulfophenylacetic amide (SPAA) from cefsulodin, a third generation ?-lactam cephalosporin antibiotic, as a novel pTyr pharmacophore for mPTPB. Structure-guided and fragment-based optimization of SPAA led to the most potent and selective mPTPB inhibitor 9, with a K i of 7.9 nM and more than 10,000-fold preference for mPTPB over a large panel of 25 phosphatases. Compound 9 also exhibited excellent cellular activity and specificity in blocking mPTPB function in macrophage. Given its novel structure, modest molecular mass, and extremely high ligand efficiency (0.46), compound 9 represents an outstanding lead compound for anti-TB drug discovery targeting mPTPB.
