Evaluating N-benzylgalactonoamidines as putative transition state analogs for ?-galactoside hydrolysis.

ABSTRACT: Experimental evidence is provided for p-methylbenzyl-D-galactonoamidine to function as a true transition state analog for the enzymatic hydrolysis of aryl-?-D-galactopyranosides by ?-galactosidase (A. oryzae). The compound exhibits inhibition constants in the low nanomolar concentration range (12-56 nM) for a selection of substrates. Along these lines, a streamlined synthetic method based on phase-transfer catalysis was optimized to afford the required variety of new aryl-?-D-galactopyranosides. Last, the stability of the galactonoamidines under the assay conditions was confirmed.

Evaluating hydrophobic galactonoamidines as transition state analogs for enzymatic β-galactoside hydrolysis.

Project description:A spectroscopic examination of six galactonoamidines with inhibition constants and efficacy in the low nanomolar concentration range (Ki = 6-11 nM, IC50 = 12-36 nM) suggested only two of them as putative transition state analogs for the hydrolysis of β-galactosides by β-galactosidase (A. oryzae). A rationale for the experimental results was elaborated using docking and molecular dynamics studies. An analysis of the combined observations reveals several common factors of the compounds suggested as transition state analogs (TSAs): the putative TSAs have a similar orientation in the active site; show conserved positioning of the glycon; display a large number of H-bond interactions toward the catalytically active amino acid residues via their glycon; and exhibit hydrophobic interactions at the outer rim of the active site with small changes of the position and orientation of their respective aglycons.

Proton mediated spin state transition of cobalt heme analogs.

Project description:The spin state transition from low spin to high spin upon substrate addition is one of the key steps in cytochrome P450 catalysis. External perturbations such as pH and hydrogen bonding can also trigger the spin state transition of hemes through deprotonated histidine (e.g. Cytochrome c). In this work, we report the isolated 2-methylimidazole Cobalt(II) [Co(TPP)(2-MeHIm)] and [Co(TTP)(2-MeHIm)], and the corresponding 2-methylimidazolate derivatives where the N-H proton of axial 2-MeHIm is removed. Interestingly, various spectroscopies including EPR and XAFS determine a high-spin state (S = 3/2) for the imidazolate derivatives, in contrast to the low-spin state (S = 1/2) of all known imidazole analogs. DFT assisted stereoelectronic investigations are applied to understand the metal-ligand interactions, which suggest that the dramatically displaced metal center allowing a promotion eg(dπ) → b1g([Formula: see text]) is crucial for the occurrence of the spin state transition.

Transition state analysis of thymidine hydrolysis by human thymidine phosphorylase.

Project description:Human thymidine phosphorylase (hTP) is responsible for thymidine (dT) homeostasis, and its action promotes angiogenesis. In the absence of phosphate, hTP catalyzes a slow hydrolytic depyrimidination of dT yielding thymine and 2-deoxyribose (dRib). Its transition state was characterized using multiple kinetic isotope effect (KIE) measurements. Isotopically enriched thymidines were synthesized enzymatically from glucose or (deoxy)ribose, and intrinsic KIEs were used to interpret the transition state structure. KIEs from [1'-(14)C]-, [1-(15)N]-, [1'-(3)H]-, [2'R-(3)H]-, [2'S-(3)H]-, [4'-(3)H]-, and [5'-(3)H]dTs provided values of 1.033 ± 0.002, 1.004 ± 0.002, 1.325 ± 0.003, 1.101 ± 0.004, 1.087 ± 0.005, 1.040 ± 0.003, and 1.033 ± 0.003, respectively. Transition state analysis revealed a stepwise mechanism with a 2-deoxyribocation formed early and a higher energetic barrier for nucleophilic attack of a water molecule on the high energy intermediate. An equilibrium exists between the deoxyribocation and reactants prior to the irreversible nucleophilic attack by water. The results establish activation of the thymine leaving group without requirement for phosphate. A transition state constrained to match the intrinsic KIEs was found using density functional theory. An active site histidine (His116) is implicated as the catalytic base for activation of the water nucleophile at the rate-limiting transition state. The distance between the water nucleophile and the anomeric carbon (r(C-O)) is predicted to be 2.3 A at the transition state. The transition state model predicts that deoxyribose adopts a mild 3'-endo conformation during nucleophilic capture. These results differ from the concerted bimolecular mechanism reported for the arsenolytic reaction (Birck, M. R.; Schramm, V. L. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2004, 126, 2447-2453).

Transition state analogs of 5'-methylthioadenosine nucleosidase disrupt quorum sensing.

Project description:5'-Methylthioadenosine/S-adenosylhomocysteine nucleosidase (MTAN) is a bacterial enzyme involved in S-adenosylmethionine-related quorum sensing pathways that induce bacterial pathogenesis factors. Transition state analogs MT-DADMe-Immucillin-A, EtT-DADMe-Immucillin-A and BuT-DADMe-Immucillin-A are slow-onset, tight-binding inhibitors of Vibrio cholerae MTAN (VcMTAN), with equilibrium dissociation constants of 73, 70 and 208 pM, respectively. Structural analysis of VcMTAN with BuT-DADMe-Immucillin-A revealed interactions contributing to the high affinity. We found that in V. cholerae cells, these compounds are potent MTAN inhibitors with IC(50) values of 27, 31 and 6 nM for MT-, EtT- and BuT-DADMe-Immucillin-A, respectively; the compounds disrupt autoinducer production in a dose-dependent manner without affecting growth. MT- and BuT-DADMe-Immucillin-A also inhibited autoinducer-2 production in enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli O157:H7 with IC(50) values of 600 and 125 nM, respectively. BuT-DADMe-Immucillin-A inhibition of autoinducer-2 production in both strains persisted for several generations and caused reduction in biofilm formation. These results support MTAN's role in quorum sensing and its potential as a target for bacterial anti-infective drug design.

Profiling base excision repair glycosylases with synthesized transition state analogs.

Project description:Two base excision repair glycosylase (BER) transition state (TS) mimics, (3R,4R)-1-benzyl (hydroxymethyl) pyrrolidin-3-ol (1NBn) and (3R,4R)-(hydroxymethyl) pyrrolidin-3-ol (1N), were synthesized using an improved method. Several BER glycosylases that repair oxidized DNA bases, bacterial formamidopyrimdine glycosylase (Fpg), human OG glycosylase (hOGG1) and human Nei-like glycosylase 1 (hNEIL1) exhibit exceptionally high affinity (K(d)∼pM) with DNA duplexes containing the 1NBn and 1N nucleotide. Notably, comparison of the K(d) values of both TS mimics relative to an abasic analog (THF) in duplex contexts paired opposite C or A suggest that these DNA repair enzymes use distinctly different mechanisms for damaged base recognition and catalysis despite having overlapping substrate specificities.

Experimental and Computational Evidence for a Loose Transition State in Phosphoroimidazolide Hydrolysis.

Project description:Phosphoroimidazolides play a critical role in several enzymatic phosphoryl transfer reactions and have been studied extensively as activated monomers for nonenzymatic nucleic acid replication, but the detailed mechanisms of these phosphoryl transfer reactions remain elusive. Some aspects of the mechanism can be deduced by studying the hydrolysis reaction, a simpler system that is amenable to a thorough mechanistic treatment. Here we characterize the transition state of phosphoroimidazolide hydrolysis by kinetic isotope effect (KIE) and linear free energy relationship (LFER) measurements, and theoretical calculations. The KIE and LFER observations are best explained by calculated loose transition structures with extensive scissile bond cleavage. These three-dimensional models of the transition state provide the basis for future mechanistic investigations of phosphoroimidazolide reactions.

Triazole-linked transition state analogs as selective inhibitors against V. cholerae sialidase.

Project description:Sialidases or neuraminidases are enzymes that catalyze the cleavage of terminal sialic acids from oligosaccharides and glycoconjugates. They play important roles in bacterial and viral infection and have been attractive targets for drug development. Structure-based drug design has led to potent inhibitors against neuraminidases of influenza A viruses that have been used successfully as approved therapeutics. However, selective and effective inhibitors against bacterial and human sialidases are still being actively pursued. Guided by crystal structural analysis, several derivatives of 2-deoxy-2,3-didehydro-N-acetylneuraminic acid (Neu5Ac2en or DANA) were designed and synthesized as triazole-linked transition state analogs. Inhibition studies revealed that glycopeptide analog E-(TriazoleNeu5Ac2en)-AKE and compound (TriazoleNeu5Ac2en)-A were selective inhibitors against Vibrio cholerae sialidase, while glycopeptide analog (TriazoleNeu5Ac2en)-AdE selectively inhibited Vibrio cholerae and A. ureafaciens sialidases.

Kinetic isotope effects in Ras-catalyzed GTP hydrolysis: evidence for a loose transition state.

Project description:A remote labeling method has been developed to determine (18)O kinetic isotope effects (KIEs) in Ras-catalyzed GTP hydrolysis. Substrate mixtures consist of (13)C-depleted GTP and [(18)O,(13)C]GTP that contains (18)O at phosphoryl positions of mechanistic interest and (13)C at all carbon positions of the guanosine moiety. Isotope ratios of the nonvolatile substrates and products are measured by using a chemical reaction interface/isotope ratio mass spectrometer. The isotope effects are 1.0012 (0.0026) in the gamma nonbridge oxygens, 1.0194 (0.0025) in the leaving group oxygens (the beta-gamma oxygen and the two beta nonbridge oxygens), and 1.0105 (0.0016) in the two beta nonbridge oxygens. The KIE in the beta-gamma bridge oxygen was computed to be 1.0116 or 1.0088 by two different methods. The significant KIE in the leaving group reveals that chemistry is largely rate-limiting whereas the KIEs in the gamma nonbridge oxygens and the leaving group indicate a loose transition state that approaches a metaphosphate. The KIE in the two beta nonbridge oxygens is roughly equal to that in the beta-gamma bridge oxygen. This indicates that, in the transition state, Ras shifts one-half of the negative charge that arises from P(gamma)-O(beta-gamma) fission from the beta-gamma bridge oxygen to the two beta nonbridge oxygens. The KIE effects, interpreted in light of structural and spectroscopic data, suggest that Ras promotes a loose transition state by stabilizing negative charge in the beta-gamma bridge and beta nonbridge oxygens of GTP.

Transition-state analysis of 2-O-acetyl-ADP-ribose hydrolysis by human macrodomain 1.

Project description:Macrodomains, including the human macrodomain 1 (MacroD1), are erasers of the post-translational modification of monoadenosinediphospho-ribosylation and hydrolytically deacetylate the sirtuin product O-acetyl-ADP-ribose (OAADPr). OAADPr has been reported to play a role in cell signaling based on oocyte microinjection studies, and macrodomains affect an array of cell processes including transcription and response to DNA damage. Here, we investigate human MacroD1 by transition-state (TS) analysis based on kinetic isotope effects (KIEs) from isotopically labeled OAADPr substrates. Competitive radiolabeled-isotope effects and mass spectrometry were used to obtain KIE data to yield intrinsic KIE values. Intrinsic KIEs were matched to a quantum chemical structure of the TS that includes the active site residues Asp184 and Asn174 and a structural water molecule. Transition-state analysis supports a concerted mechanism with an early TS involving simultaneous nucleophilic water attack and leaving group bond cleavage where the breaking C-O ester bond=1.60 Å and the C-O bond to the attacking water nucleophile=2.30 Å. The MacroD1 TS provides mechanistic understanding of the OAADPr esterase chemistry.

Distortional binding of transition state analogs to human purine nucleoside phosphorylase probed by magic angle spinning solid-state NMR.

Project description:Transition state analogs mimic the geometry and electronics of the transition state of enzymatic reactions. These molecules bind to the active site of the enzyme much tighter than substrate and are powerful noncovalent inhibitors. Immucillin-H (ImmH) and 4'-deaza-1'-aza-2'-deoxy-9-methylene Immucillin-H (DADMe-ImmH) are picomolar inhibitors of human purine nucleoside phosphorylase (hPNP). Although both molecules are electronically similar to the oxocarbenium-like dissociative hPNP transition state, DADMe-ImmH is more potent than ImmH. DADMe-ImmH captures more of the transition state binding energy by virtue of being a closer geometric match to the hPNP transition state than ImmH. A consequence of these similarities is that the active site of hPNP exerts greater distortional forces on ImmH than on DADMe-ImmH to "achieve" the hPNP transition state geometry. By using magic angle spinning solid-state NMR to investigate stable isotope-labeled ImmH and DADMe-ImmH, we have explored the difference in distortional binding of these two inhibitors to hPNP. High-precision determinations of internuclear distances from NMR recoupling techniques, rotational echo double resonance, and rotational resonance, have provided unprecedented atomistic insight into the geometric changes that occur upon binding of transition state analogs. We conclude that hPNP stabilizes conformations of these chemically distinct analogs having distances between the cation and leaving groups resembling those of the known transition state.
