== Publication Abstract from PubMed == | |||
PTER (phosphotriesterase-related) is an amidohydrolase that mediates catabolism of the anorexigenic taurine metabolite N-acetyltaurine. However, the structural basis of PTER ligand binding and catalysis remain unknown, limiting our ability to harness this pathway therapeutically. Here we solve crystal structures of a eukaryotic PTER in apo and product-bound forms. These structures uncover an unexpected pocket homology between PTER and histone deacetylase (HDAC) enzymes. We exploit this similarity to engineer a first-in-class substrate-competitive PTER inhibitor called PTERi with nanomolar potency and >100-fold selectivity for PTER over HDACs in vitro. Administration of PTERi to diet-induced obese mice reduces feeding, enhances GLP1-RA (glucagon like peptide 1 receptor agonist)-induced weight loss, and prevents weight regain after GLP1-RA discontinuation. The structure of PTER connects histone and metabolite deacetylation into a parallel conceptual framework and enables proof-of-concept data for pharmacological inhibition of PTER in obesity. | |||
