In this study, using two of our most potent bis-sulfonamido-2-phenylbenzoxazoles (PBZs), we established the binding site of the PBZ molecules using cryo-EM and found that GroEL was the cellular target responsible for the mode of action. Cryo-EM revealed that PBZ1587 binds at the GroEL ring-ring interface (RRI). A cellular reporter assay confirmed that PBZ1587 engaged GroEL in cells, but cellular rescue experiments showed potential off-target effects. This prompted us to explore a closely related analogue, PBZ1038, which is also bound to the RRI. Biochemical characterization showed potent inhibition of Gram-negative chaperonins but much lower potency of chaperonin from a Gram-positive organism, Enterococcus faecium. A cellular reporter assay showed that PBZ1038 also engaged GroEL in cells and that the cytotoxic phenotype could be rescued by a chromosomal copy of E. faecium GroEL/GroES or by expressing a recalcitrant RRI mutant. These data argue that PBZ1038's antimicrobial action is exerted through inhibition of GroES/GroEL, validating this chaperone system as an antibiotic target.
