The structural basis of the inhibition of human alpha-mannosidases by azafuranose analogues of mannose.

ABSTRACT: Eight pyrrolidine, five pyrrolizidine and one indolizidine analogue(s) of the known alpha-mannosidase inhibitor, the azafuranose, 1,4-dideoxy-1,4-imino-D-mannitol (DIM), have been tested for inhibition of the multiple forms of alpha-mannosidase in human liver in vitro. Substitution of the ring nitrogen markedly decreased or abolished inhibition, but loss of the C-6 hydroxy group, as in 6-deoxy-DIM and 6-deoxy-6-fluoro-DIM, enhanced inhibition, particularly of the lysosomal alpha-mannosidase. Addition of the anomeric substituent-CH2OH decreased inhibition. To be a potent inhibitor of the lysosomal, Golgi II and neutral alpha-mannosidases, a polyhydroxylated pyrrolidine must have the same substituents and chirality as mannofuranose at C-2, C-3, C-4 and C-5. These four chiral centres can also be part of a polyhydroxylated indolizidine, e.g. swainsonine, but not of a pyrrolizidine, e.g. cyclized DIM, ring-contracted swainsonine or 1,7-diepi-australine. DIM did not inhibit lysosomal alpha-mannosidase intracellularly, but both 6-deoxy-DIM and 6-deoxy-6-fluoro-DIM caused accumulation of partially catabolized glycans in normal human fibroblasts. Analysis of these induced storage products by h.p.l.c. showed that both compounds also inhibited Golgi alpha-mannosidase II and that 6-deoxy-6-fluoro-DIM was also a good inhibitor of the endoplasmic reticulum alpha-mannosidase and specific lysosomal alpha (1-6)-mannosidase. None of the mannofuranose analogues appeared to inhibit Golgi alpha-mannosidase I.

Human lysosomal alpha-mannosidases exhibit different inhibition and metal binding properties.

Project description:Two structurally-related members of the lysosomal mannosidase family, the broad substrate specificity enzyme human lysosomal alpha-mannosidase (hLM, MAN2B1) and the human core alpha-1, 6-specific mannosidase (hEpman, MAN2B2) act in a complementary fashion on different glycosidic linkages, to effect glycan degradation in the lysosome. We have successfully expressed these enzymes in Drosophila S2 cells and functionally characterized them. hLM and hEpman were significantly inhibited by the class II alpha-mannosidase inhibitors, swainsonine and mannostatin A. We show that three pyrrolidine-based compounds designed for selective inhibition of Golgi alpha-mannosidase II (GMII) exhibited varying degrees of inhibition for hLM and hEpman. While these compounds inhibited hLM and GMII similarly, they inhibited hEpman to a lesser extent. Further, the two lysosomal alpha-mannosidases also show differential metal dependency properties. This has led us to propose a secondary metal binding site in hEpman. These results set the stage for the development of selective inhibitors to members of the GH38 family, and, henceforth, the further investigation of their physiological roles.

The structural basis of the inhibition of human glycosidases by castanospermine analogues.

Project description:A series of epimers and deoxy derivatives of castanospermine has been synthesized to investigate the contribution of the different chiral centres to the specificity and potency of inhibition of human liver glycosidases. Castanospermine inhibits all forms of alpha- and beta-D-glucosidases, but alteration to any of the five chiral centres in castanospermine markedly decreases the inhibition. 6-Epicastanospermine, which is related to D-pyranomannose in the same way as castanospermine is to D-pyranoglucose, does not inhibit lysosomal (acidic) alpha-mannosidase, but is a good inhibitor of the cytosolic or neutral alpha-mannosidase. Conversely, 1-deoxy-6-epicastanospermine inhibits acidic alpha-mannosidase strongly, but not the neutral alpha-mannosidase. An explanation of this different inhibition based on preferential recognition of different configurations of mannose by the different forms of alpha-mannosidase is postulated. All derivatives of 6-epicastanospermine also have the minimum structural feature for the inhibition of alpha-L-fucosidase, but those with a beta-anomeric substituent do not inhibit the enzyme, or do so very weakly. 1-Deoxy-6,8a-diepicastanospermine, which has four chiral centres identical with alpha-L-fucose, is, however, a potent inhibitor of alpha-L-fucosidase (Ki 1.3 microM).

<i>Trans</i>-cyclosulfamidate mannose-configured cyclitol allows isoform-dependent inhibition of GH47 α-d-mannosidases through a bump-hole strategy.

Project description:Class I inverting exo-acting α-1,2-mannosidases (CAZY family GH47) display an unusual catalytic itinerary featuring ring-flipped mannosides, 3S1 → 3H4‡ → 1C4. Conformationally locked 1C4 compounds, such as kifunensine, display nanomolar inhibition but large multigene GH47 mannosidase families render specific "isoform-dependent" inhibition impossible. Here we develop a bump-and-hole strategy in which a new mannose-configured 1,6-trans-cyclic sulfamidate inhibits α-d-mannosidases by virtue of its 1C4 conformation. This compound does not inhibit the wild-type GH47 model enzyme by virtue of a steric clash, a "bump", in the active site. An L310S (a conserved residue amongst human GH47 enzymes) mutant of the model Caulobacter GH47 awoke 574 nM inhibition of the previously dormant inhibitor, confirmed by structural analysis of a 0.97 Å structure. Considering that L310 is a conserved residue amongst human GH47 enzymes, this work provides a unique framework for future biotechnological studies on N-glycan maturation and ER associated degradation by isoform-specific GH47 α-d-mannosidase inhibition through a bump-and-hole approach.

Structural Basis for Inhibition of Human Primase by Arabinofuranosyl Nucleoside Analogues Fludarabine and Vidarabine.

Project description:Nucleoside analogues are widely used in clinical practice as chemotherapy drugs. Arabinose nucleoside derivatives such as fludarabine are effective in the treatment of patients with acute and chronic leukemias and non-Hodgkin's lymphomas. Although nucleoside analogues are generally known to function by inhibiting DNA synthesis in rapidly proliferating cells, the identity of their in vivo targets and mechanism of action are often not known in molecular detail. Here we provide a structural basis for arabinose nucleotide-mediated inhibition of human primase, the DNA-dependent RNA polymerase responsible for initiation of DNA synthesis in DNA replication. Our data suggest ways in which the chemical structure of fludarabine could be modified to improve its specificity and affinity toward primase, possibly leading to less toxic and more effective therapeutic agents.

Structural basis for dolichylphosphate mannose biosynthesis.

Project description:Protein glycosylation is a critical protein modification. In biogenic membranes of eukaryotes and archaea, these reactions require activated mannose in the form of the lipid conjugate dolichylphosphate mannose (Dol-P-Man). The membrane protein dolichylphosphate mannose synthase (DPMS) catalyzes the reaction whereby mannose is transferred from GDP-mannose to the dolichol carrier Dol-P, to yield Dol-P-Man. Failure to produce or utilize Dol-P-Man compromises organism viability, and in humans, several mutations in the human dpm1 gene lead to congenital disorders of glycosylation (CDG). Here, we report three high-resolution crystal structures of archaeal DPMS from Pyrococcus furiosus, in complex with nucleotide, donor, and glycolipid product. The structures offer snapshots along the catalytic cycle, and reveal how lipid binding couples to movements of interface helices, metal binding, and acceptor loop dynamics to control critical events leading to Dol-P-Man synthesis. The structures also rationalize the loss of dolichylphosphate mannose synthase function in dpm1-associated CDG.The generation of glycolipid dolichylphosphate mannose (Dol-P-Man) is a critical step for protein glycosylation and GPI anchor synthesis. Here the authors report the structure of dolichylphosphate mannose synthase in complex with bound nucleotide and donor to provide insight into the mechanism of Dol-P-Man synthesis.

Structural basis for enzyme I inhibition by α-ketoglutarate.

Project description:Creating new bacterial strains in which carbon and nitrogen metabolism are uncoupled is potentially very useful for optimizing yields of microbial produced chemicals from renewable carbon sources. However, the mechanisms that balance carbon and nitrogen consumption in bacteria are poorly understood. Recently, α-ketoglutarate (αKG), the carbon substrate for ammonia assimilation, has been observed to inhibit Escherichia coli enzyme I (EI), the first component of the bacterial phosphotransferase system (PTS), thereby providing a direct biochemical link between central carbon and nitrogen metabolism. Here we investigate the EI-αKG interaction by NMR and enzymatic assays. We show that αKG binds with a KD of ∼2.2 mM at the active site of EI, acting as a competitive inhibitor. In addition, we use molecular docking simulations to derive a structural model of the enzyme-inhibitor complex that is fully consistent with NMR and analytical ultracentrifugation data. We expect that the EI-αKG structure presented here will provide a starting point for structure-based design of EI mutants resistant to αKG.

'Click chemistry' synthesis of 1-(α-D-mannopyranosyl)-1,2,3-triazoles for inhibition of α-mannosidases.

Project description:Three new triazole conjugates derived from d-mannose were synthesized and assayed in in vitro assays to investigate their ability to inhibit α-mannosidase enzymes from the glycoside hydrolase (GH) families 38 and 47. The triazole conjugates were more selective for a GH47 α-mannosidase (Aspergillus saitoi α1,2-mannosidase), showing inhibition at the micromolar level (IC50 values of 50-250 μM), and less potent towards GH38 mannosidases (IC50 values in the range of 0.5-6 mM towards jack bean α-mannosidase or Drosophila melanogaster lysosomal and Golgi α-mannosidases). The highest selectivity ratio [IC50(GH38)/IC50(GH47)] of 100 was exhibited by the phenyltriazole conjugate. To understand structure-activity properties of synthesized compounds, 3-D complexes of inhibitors with α-mannosidases were built using molecular docking calculations.

Structural Basis for Dityrosine-Mediated Inhibition of α-Synuclein Fibrillization.

Project description:α-Synuclein (α-Syn) is an intrinsically disordered protein which self-assembles into highly organized β-sheet structures that accumulate in plaques in brains of Parkinson's disease patients. Oxidative stress influences α-Syn structure and self-assembly; however, the basis for this remains unclear. Here we characterize the chemical and physical effects of mild oxidation on monomeric α-Syn and its aggregation. Using a combination of biophysical methods, small-angle X-ray scattering, and native ion mobility mass spectrometry, we find that oxidation leads to formation of intramolecular dityrosine cross-linkages and a compaction of the α-Syn monomer by a factor of √2. Oxidation-induced compaction is shown to inhibit ordered self-assembly and amyloid formation by steric hindrance, suggesting an important role of mild oxidation in preventing amyloid formation.

Structural basis of mammalian high-mannose N-glycan processing by human gut Bacteroides.

Project description:The human gut microbiota plays a central role not only in regulating the metabolism of nutrients but also promoting immune homeostasis, immune responses and protection against pathogen colonization. The genome of the Gram-negative symbiont Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron, a dominant member of the human intestinal microbiota, encodes polysaccharide utilization loci PULs, the apparatus required to orchestrate the degradation of a specific glycan. EndoBT-3987 is a key endo-β-N-acetylglucosaminidase (ENGase) that initiates the degradation/processing of mammalian high-mannose-type (HM-type) N-glycans in the intestine. Here, we provide structural snapshots of EndoBT-3987, including the unliganded form, the EndoBT-3987-Man9GlcNAc2Asn substrate complex, and two EndoBT-3987-Man9GlcNAc and EndoBT-3987-Man5GlcNAc product complexes. In combination with alanine scanning mutagenesis and activity measurements we unveil the molecular mechanism of HM-type recognition and specificity for EndoBT-3987 and an important group of the GH18 ENGases, including EndoH, an enzyme extensively used in biotechnology, and for which the mechanism of substrate recognition was largely unknown.

Structural basis for activation of alpha-boranophosphate nucleotide analogues targeting drug-resistant reverse transcriptase.

Project description:AIDS chemotherapy is limited by inadequate intracellular concentrations of the active triphosphate form of nucleoside analogues, leading to incomplete inhibition of viral replication and the appearance of drug-resistant virus. Drug activation by nucleoside diphosphate kinase and inhibition of HIV-1 reverse transcriptase were studied comparatively. We synthesized analogues with a borano (BH(3)(-)) group on the alpha-phosphate, and found that they are substrates for both enzymes. X-ray structures of complexes with nucleotide diphosphate kinase provided a structural basis for their activation. The complex with d4T triphosphate displayed an intramolecular CH.O bond contributing to catalysis, and the R(p) diastereoisomer of thymidine alpha-boranotriphosphate bound like a normal substrate. Using alpha-(R(p))-boranophosphate derivatives of the clinically relevant compounds AZT and d4T, the presence of the alpha-borano group improved both phosphorylation by nucleotide diphosphate kinase and inhibition of reverse transcription. Moreover, repair of blocked DNA chains by pyrophosphorolysis was reduced significantly in variant reverse transcriptases bearing substitutions found in drug-resistant viruses. Thus, the alpha-borano modification of analogues targeting reverse transcriptase may be of generic value in fighting viral drug resistance.
