Mycobaterium tuberculosis transaminase BioA complexed with 1-(1,3- benzothiazol-2-yl)methanamine
Structural highlights
FunctionBIOA_MYCTU Catalyzes the reversible transfer of the alpha-amino group from S-adenosyl-L-methionine (SAM) to 7-keto-8-aminopelargonic acid (KAPA) to form 7,8-diaminopelargonic acid (DAPA). It is the only animotransferase known to utilize SAM as an amino donor. Can also use sinefungin as substrate.[1] Publication Abstract from PubMed7,8-Diaminopelargonic acid synthase (BioA) of Mycobacterium tuberculosis is a recently validated target for therapeutic intervention in the treatment of tuberculosis (TB). Using biophysical fragment screening and structural characterization of compounds, we have identified a potent aryl hydrazine inhibitor of BioA that reversibly modifies the pyridoxal-5'-phosphate (PLP) cofactor, forming a stable quinonoid. Analogous hydrazides also form covalent adducts that can be observed crystallographically but are incapable of inactivating the enzyme. In the X-ray crystal structures, small molecules induce unexpected conformational remodeling in the substrate binding site. We compared these conformational changes to those induced upon binding of the substrate (7-keto-8-aminopelargonic acid), and characterized the inhibition kinetics and the X-ray crystal structures of BioA with the hydrazine compound and analogues to unveil the mechanism of this reversible covalent modification.
