CHITINASE B FROM SERRATIA MARCESCENS COMPLEXED WITH THE CATALYTIC INTERMEDIATE MIMIC CYCLIC DIPEPTIDE CI4.
Overview
Family 18 chitinases are attractive targets for the development of new, inhibitors with chemotherapeutic potential against fungi, insects and, protozoan/nematodal parasites. Although several inhibitors have been, identified, these are based on complex chemistry, which hampers iterative, structure-based optimization. Here we report the details of chitinase, inhibition by the natural product peptide CI-4 [ cyclo -(L-Arg-D-Pro)], which possesses activity against the human pathogenic fungus Candida, albicans, and describe a 1.7 A (0.17 nm) crystal structure of CI-4 in, complex with the enzyme. The structure reveals that the cyclic dipeptide, inhibits chitinases by structurally mimicking a reaction intermediate, and, could, on the basis of its accessible chemistry, be a candidate for, further ...
