Crystal Structure of Mycobacterium Tuberculosis Decaprenyl Diphosphate Synthase in Complex with BPH-640
Structural highlights
FunctionDPDS_MYCTU Catalyzes the sequential condensation of isopentenyl diphosphate (IPP) in the cis configuration with (2Z,6E)-farnesyl diphosphate (Z-FPP or EZ-FPP) generating the 50 carbon product trans,polycis-decaprenyl diphosphate. When (2E,6E)-farnesyl diphosphate (E-FPP or EE-FPP) is used in vitro, both primary products decaprenyl diphosphate and (2E,6E,10E)-geranylgeranyl diphosphate (EEE-GGPP) are synthesized. M.tuberculosis does not synthesize (2E,6E,10Z)-geranylgeranyl diphosphate (EEZ-GGPP) and heptaprenyl diphosphate. Can also accept many different allylic substrates, including E-geranyl diphosphate (E-GPP), neryl diphosphate (NPP), and all-trans-geranyl-geranyl diphosphate.[1] [2] [3] Publication Abstract from PubMedWe have obtained the structure of the bacterial diterpene synthase, tuberculosinol/iso-tuberculosinol synthase (Rv3378c) from Mycobacterium tuberculosis , a target for anti-infective therapies that block virulence factor formation. This phosphatase adopts the same fold as found in the Z- or cis-prenyltransferases. We also obtained structures containing the tuberculosinyl diphosphate substrate together with one bisphosphonate inhibitor-bound structure. These structures together with the results of site-directed mutagenesis suggest an unusual mechanism of action involving two Tyr residues. Given the similarity in local and global structure between Rv3378c and the M. tuberculosis cis-decaprenyl diphosphate synthase (DPPS; Rv2361c), the possibility exists for the development of inhibitors that target not only virulence but also cell wall biosynthesis, based in part on the structures reported here.
