Function
[PSA_MYCTU] Component of the proteasome core, a large protease complex with broad specificity involved in protein degradation. The M.tuberculosis proteasome is able to cleave oligopeptides not only after hydrophobic but also after basic, acidic and small neutral residues. Among the identified substrates of the M.tuberculosis proteasome are the pupylated FabD, PanB and Mpa proteins. One function of the proteasome is to contribute to M.tuberculosis ability to resist killing by host macrophages, since the core proteasome is essential for persistence of the pathogen during the chronic phase of infection in mice. The mechanism of protection against bactericidal chemistries of the host's immune response probably involves the degradation of proteins that are irreversibly oxidized, nitrated, or nitrosated.[1] [2] [PSB_MYCTU] Component of the proteasome core, a large protease complex with broad specificity involved in protein degradation.

Publication Abstract from PubMed
Proteasomes of pathogenic microbes have become attractive targets for anti-infectives. Co-evolving with its human host, Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) has developed mechanisms to resist host-imposed nitrosative and oxidative stresses. Genetic deletion or pharmacological inhibition of the Mtb proteasome (Mtb20S) renders non-replicating Mtb susceptible to reactive nitrogen species in vitro and unable to survive in the lungs of mice, validating the Mtb proteasome as a promising target for anti-Mtb agents. Using a structure-guided and flow chemistry-enabled study of structure-activity relationships, we developed phenylimidazole-based peptidomimetics that are highly potent for Mtb20S. X-ray structures of selected compounds with Mtb20S shed light on their selectivity for mycobacterial rather than human proteasomes.
