Function
[PVDQ_PSEAE] Catalyzes the deacylation of acyl-homoserine lactone (AHL or acyl-HSL), releasing homoserine lactone (HSL) and the corresponding fatty acid. Possesses a specificity for the degradation of long-chain acyl-HSLs (side chains of 11 to 14 carbons in length). Degrades 3-oxo-C12-HSL, one of the two main AHL signal molecules of P.aeruginosa, and thereby functions as a quorum quencher, inhibiting the las quorum-sensing system. Therefore, may enable P.aeruginosa to modulate its own quorum-sensing-dependent pathogenic potential. Also appears to be required for pyoverdin biosynthesis.[1] [2] [3]
Publication Abstract from PubMed
Pseudomonas aeruginosa produces the peptide siderophore pyoverdine, which is used to acquire essential Fe3+ ions from the environment. PvdQ, an Ntn hydrolase, is required for the biosynthesis of pyoverdine. PvdQ knockout strains are not infectious in model systems, suggesting that disruption of siderophore production via PvdQ inhibition could be exploited as a target for novel antibacterial agents, by preventing cells from acquiring iron in the low iron environments of most biological settings. We have previously described a high-throughput screen to identify inhibitors of PvdQ that identified inhibitors with IC50 values of approximately 100 muM. Here, we describe the discovery of ML318, a biaryl nitrile inhibitor of PvdQ acylase. ML318 inhibits PvdQ in vitro (IC50 = 20 nM) by binding in the acyl-binding site, as confirmed by the X-ray crystal structure of PvdQ bound to ML318. Additionally, the PvdQ inhibitor is active in a whole cell assay, preventing pyoverdine production and limiting the growth of P. aeruginosa under iron-limiting conditions.
