Radka CD, Rock CO. Crystal structures of the fatty acid biosynthesis initiation enzymes in Bacillus subtilis. J Struct Biol 2024; 216:108065. [PMID: 38310992 PMCID: PMC10939784 DOI: 10.1016/j.jsb.2024.108065] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/16/2023] [Revised: 01/10/2024] [Accepted: 01/29/2024] [Indexed: 02/06/2024]
Abstract
Bacteria use the fatty acid composition of membrane lipids to maintain homeostasis of the bilayer. β-Ketoacyl-ACP synthase III (FabH) initiates fatty acid biosynthesis and is the primary determinant of the fatty acid composition. FabH condenses malonyl-acyl carrier protein with an acyl-Coenzyme A primer to form β -ketoacyl-acyl carrier protein which is used to make substrates for lipid synthesis. The acyl-Coenzyme A primer determines whether an acyl chain in the membrane has iso, anteiso, or no branching (straight chain) and biophysical properties of the membrane. The soil bacterium Bacillus subtilis encodes two copies of FabH (BsFabHA and BsFabHB), and here we solve their crystal structures. The substrate-free 1.85 Å and 2.40 Å structures of BsFabHA and BsFabHB show both enzymes have similar residues that line the active site but differ in the architecture surrounding the catalytic residues and oxyanion hole. Branching in the BsFabHB active site may better accommodate the structure of an iso-branched acyl-Coenzyme A molecule and thus confer superior utilization to BsFabHA for this primer type. The 2.02 Å structure of BsFabHA•Coenzyme A shows how the active site architecture changes after binding the first substrate. The other notable difference is an amino acid insertion in BsFabHB that extends a cap that covers the dimer interface. The cap topology is diverse across FabH structures and appears to be a distinguishing feature. FabH enzymes have variable sensitivity to natural product inhibitors and the availability of crystal structures help clarify how nature designs antimicrobials that differentially target FabH homologs.

Abstract
ZnO nanoparticles, well-known for their structural, optical, and antibacterial properties, are widely applied in diverse fields. The doping of different materials to ZnO, such as metals or metal oxides, is known to ameliorate its properties. Here, nanofilms composed of ZnO doped with WS2 at 5, 15, and 25% ratios are synthesized, and their properties are investigated. Supported by molecular docking analyses, the enhancement of the bactericidal properties after the addition of WS2 at different ratios is highlighted and supported by the inhibitory interaction of residues playing a crucial role in the bacterial survival through the targeting of proteins of interest.

Abstract
A sequence of novel 1,4-dihydropyridines (DHP) and their hybrids was developed using a multicomponent strategy under environmentally benign conditions. In addition, computational studies were performed, and the ligand-protein interactions calculated in different bacteria and two fungal strains. Para-hydroxy-linked DHP (5f) showed the best binding energies of 3.591, 3.916, 8.499 and 6.895 kcal/mol against various pathogens used and other substances received a good docking score. The pathogen resistance potential of the synthesized targets against four bacteria and two fungi showed that whole DHP substances exhibit different levels of resistance to each microorganism. Gram-positive bacteria, which are highly sensitive to all molecules, and the MTCC-1884-encoded fungus strongly rejected the studied compounds compared to comparator drugs. In particular, the 5f candidate showed remarkable antimicrobial activity, followed by the substances 5a, 5b, 5j, 5k and 5l. Furthermore, MIC and MBC/MFC properties showed that 5f had a minimum bacterial concentration of 12.5 μg/mL against E. coli and against two fungal pathogens, with its killing activity being effective even at low concentrations. On the other hand, whole motifs were tested for their cytotoxic activity, revealing that the methoxy and hydroxy-linked compounds (5h) showed greater cytotoxic potency, followed by the two hydroxy linked compounds (5d and 5f). Overall, this synthetic approach used represents a prototype for future nature-favored synthesis methods and these biological results serve as a guide for future therapeutic drug research. However, the computer results play an important role in the further development of biological experiments.

Abstract
Acetyl coenzyme A (acetyl-CoA) is a reactive metabolite that nonproductively hydrolyzes in a number of enzyme active sites in the crystallization time frame. In order to elucidate the enzyme-acetyl-CoA interactions leading to catalysis, acetyl-CoA substrate analogs are needed. One possible analog for use in structural studies is acetyl-oxa(dethia)CoA (AcOCoA), in which the thioester S atom of CoA is replaced by an O atom. Here, structures of chloramphenicol acetyltransferase III (CATIII) and Escherichia coli ketoacylsynthase III (FabH) from crystals grown in the presence of partially hydrolyzed AcOCoA and the respective nucleophile are presented. Based on the structures, the behavior of AcOCoA differs between the enzymes, with FabH reacting with AcOCoA and CATIII being unreactive. The structure of CATIII reveals insight into the catalytic mechanism, with one active site of the trimer having relatively clear electron density for AcOCoA and chloramphenicol and the other active sites having weaker density for AcOCoA. One FabH structure contains a hydrolyzed AcOCoA product oxa(dethia)CoA (OCoA), while the other FabH structure contains an acyl-enzyme intermediate with OCoA. Together, these structures provide preliminary insight into the use of AcOCoA for enzyme structure-function studies with different nucleophiles.

Abstract
Fatty acid and polyketide biosynthetic enzymes exploit the reactivity of acyl- and malonyl-thioesters for catalysis. A prime example is FabH, which initiates fatty acid biosynthesis in many bacteria and plants. FabH performs an acyltransferase reaction with acetyl-CoA to generate an acetyl-S-FabH acyl-enzyme intermediate and subsequent decarboxylative Claisen-condensation with a malonyl-thioester carried by an acyl carrier protein (ACP). We envision that crystal structures of FabH with substrate analogues can provide insight into the conformational changes and enzyme/substrate interactions underpinning the distinct reactions. Here, we synthesize acetyl/malonyl-CoA analogues with esters or amides in place of the thioester and characterize their stability and behavior as Escherichia coli FabH substrates or inhibitors to inform structural studies. We also characterize the analogues with mutant FabH C112Q that mimics the acyl-enzyme intermediate allowing dissection of the decarboxylation reaction. The acetyl- and malonyl-oxa(dethia)CoA analogues undergo extremely slow hydrolysis in the presence of FabH or the C112Q mutant. Decarboxylation of malonyl-oxa(dethia)CoA by FabH or C112Q mutant was not detected. The amide analogues were completely stable to enzyme activity. In enzyme assays with acetyl-CoA and malonyl-CoA (rather than malonyl-ACP) as substrates, acetyl-oxa(dethia)CoA is surprisingly slightly activating, while acetyl-aza(dethia)CoA is a moderate inhibitor. The malonyl-oxa/aza(dethia)CoAs are inhibitors with Ki's near the Km of malonyl-CoA. For comparison, we determine the FabH catalyzed decomposition rates for acetyl/malonyl-CoA, revealing some fundamental catalytic traits of FabH, including hysteresis for malonyl-CoA decarboxylation. The stability and inhibitory properties of the substrate analogues make them promising for structure-function studies to reveal fatty acid and polyketide enzyme/substrate interactions.

Abstract
A Schiff base, 5-(4-methylphenyl)-4-[(pyridin-2-ylmethylidene)amino]-4H-1,2,4-oxadiazole as a bidentate ligand has been synthesized by the reaction between the 4-amino-5-(4-methylphenyl)-4H-1,3,4-oxadiazole and aromatic aldehyde. The Schiff base reacted with CoCl3·6H2O and CrCl3·6H2O in ethanol to yield 1,3,4-oxadiazole complexes. The structures of synthesized ligand and their complexes have been established on the basis of their IR, Mass and 1H-NMR spectra. Electronic and geometric structures of both cobalt and chromium complexes were investigated by density functional theory (DFT) and quantum theory of atoms in molecules (QTAIM) calculations. DFT-based reactivity calculations estimated the studied system as strong electrophile and/or strong nucleophile in polar organic reactions. Moreover, most reactive sites were predicted theoretically based on the delocalized and localized indexes. The nature of Ligand-Metal chemical bonding is discussed in terms of the natural bond orbital (NBO) and QTAIM analysis. Accordingly, the metal ions such as cobalt and chromium are bidentate coordinated with the Schiff base by nitrogen atoms of imine function and pyridine, to form stable complexes. Furthermore, the chromium ions have an affinity superior to the cobalt ions towards Schiff base ligand. In addition, the results of the antibacterial activity in-vitro show that the metal complexation confers an increase in the antibacterial activity of the complexed ligand compared to the free ligand against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria with broad spectrum activity. In silico molecular docking studies of the ligands and their complexes were applied to describe the probable binding modes into the active site of Escherichia coli (E. coli) FabH and Salmonella typhimurium LT2 neuraminidase (STNA) receptors. The increase in biological activity could be attributed to the high stability of the complexes and strong affinities to bacterial enzyme receptors.Communicated by Ramaswamy H. Sarma.

Abstract
This study aims to synthesize a new series of furochromone derivatives, evaluate their antimicrobial properties, and improve the permeability of potent compounds to inhibit different types of bacteria and fungi. Hence, Substituted furo[3,2-g]chromene-6-carbonitrile (3a,b) readily form 7-amino-5-methyl-furo [3,2-g]chromene-6-carbonitrile (4a,b) via reduction using sodium borohydride in methanol. The same compounds of (4a,b) were used as starting materials for the synthesis of new furochromone derivatives such as furochromeno [2,3-d]pyrimidines, N- (6-cyano- 5-methyl-furochromene) acetamide, N-(6-cyano-5-methyl-furo chromene)-2-phenyl acetamide, N- (6-cyano-5-methyl-furochromene) formimidate, furochromeno[1,2,4]triazepin-5-amine, furochrom ene-6-carboxamide, furochromeno[1,2,4]triazolopyrimidines, and furochromeno[2,3-b]quinolin- 6-amine. The structures of the new compounds were determined using spectroscopy: Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (1H, 13C), Mass spectra, Infrared, and elemental analysis. Molecular docking studies were conducted to investigate the binding patterns of the prepared compounds against DNA-gyrase (PDB 1HNJ). The results displayed that compounds furochromenotriazolopyrimidine (20a,b), furochromenoquinolin-6-amine (21a,b), furochromenotriazepin-amine (9a,b), and furo- chromenopyrimidine-amine (19a,b) were excellent antimicrobials.

Abstract
Aphanamixis polystachya may be a natural, renewable resource against antibiotic-resistant bacterial infections. The antibacterial activity of A. polystachya leaf and bark extracts was investigated against three antibiotic-resistant bacterial species and one fungus. Methanolic leaf extract showed only limited antibacterial activity but both methanolic and aqueous bark extract showed high antimicrobial activity. In an antioxidant activity test, leaf and bark extracts exhibited 50% free radical scavenging at a concentration of 107.14 ± 3.14 μg/mL and 97.13 ± 3.05 μg/mL, respectively, indicating that bark extracts offer more antioxidative activity than leaf extracts. Bark extracts also showed lower toxicity than leaf extracts. This suggests that bark extracts may offer greater development potential than leaf extracts. The molecular dynamics were also investigated through the simulated exploration of multiple potential interactions to understand the interaction dynamics (root-mean-square deviation, solvent-accessible surface area, radius of gyration, and the hydrogen bonding of chosen compounds to protein targets) and possible mechanisms of inhibition. This molecular modeling of compounds derived from A. polystachya revealed that inhibition may occur by binding to the active sites of the target proteins of the tested bacterial strains. A. polystachya bark extract may be used as a natural source of drugs to control antibiotic-resistant bacteria.

Abstract
This study sets out to compare the antibacterial and antibiofilm profiles of Ci/Ca EOs alone and in combination together against infectious bacterial strains. MIC assay was carried out to survey the effectiveness of prepared EOs by two-fold serial dilution method and MTT evaluation. Synergic antibacterial properties of EOs against target strains were studied by using checkerboard titration method. Biofilm growth and development were evaluated using CV and XTT reduction assays. Antibacterial activity was observed for EOs against both bacterial strains with stronger activity for CiEO against both bacteria. The synergistic antibacterial effect was observed only against B. subtilis. Based on the FIC index, combinations could not inhibit the growth of E. coli. The pure EOs and their combination inhibited cell attachment for both studied bacteria with stronger effect on E. coli. CV and XTT reduction assays results showed that Ci EO and its combination with CaEO had the highest antibiofilm activity at lowest MIC value 0.08% and 0.04/0.02% against biofilm formed by E. coli and B. subtilis respectively, indicating a high antibiofilm potential. Computational docking analyses also postulated that the active constituents of evaluated EOs have the potential to interact with different bacterial targets, suggested binding mode of action of EOs metabolites. By and large, synergistic anti-biofilm properties of EOs may provide further options for developing novel formula to inhibit a variety of infectious clinical and industrial strains without (or less) toxicity effects on human body. ![]()

Abstract
Fatty acids are crucial molecules for most living beings, very well spread and conserved across species. These molecules play a role in energy storage, cell membrane architecture, and cell signaling, the latter through their derivative metabolites. De novo synthesis of fatty acids is a complex chemical process that can be achieved either by a metabolic pathway built by a sequence of individual enzymes, such as in most bacteria, or by a single, large multi-enzyme, which incorporates all the chemical capabilities of the metabolic pathway, such as in animals and fungi, and in some bacteria. Here we focus on the multi-enzymes, specifically in the animal fatty acid synthase (FAS). We start by providing a historical overview of this vast field of research. We follow by describing the extraordinary architecture of animal FAS, a homodimeric multi-enzyme with seven different active sites per dimer, including a carrier protein that carries the intermediates from one active site to the next. We then delve into this multi-enzyme's detailed chemistry and critically discuss the current knowledge on the chemical mechanism of each of the steps necessary to synthesize a single fatty acid molecule with atomic detail. In line with this, we discuss the potential and achieved FAS applications in biotechnology, as biosynthetic machines, and compare them with their homologous polyketide synthases, which are also finding wide applications in the same field. Finally, we discuss some open questions on the architecture of FAS, such as their peculiar substrate-shuttling arm, and describe possible reasons for the emergence of large megasynthases during evolution, questions that have fascinated biochemists from long ago but are still far from answered and understood.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Colocasia gigantea, locally named as kochu is well-known due to its various healing power. This research is to investigate the antidiarrheal, antimicrobial and antioxidant possibilities of the methanol soluble extract of Colocasia gigantea. METHODS The antidiarrheal investigation was performed by using in vivo castor oil-induced diarrheal method whereas in vitro antimicrobial and antioxidant investigation have been implemented by disc diffusion and DPPH scavenging method respectively. Moreover, in silico studies were followed by molecular docking analysis of several secondary metabolites that were appraised with Schrödinger-Maestro v11.1 and Biovia Discovery Studio. RESULTS The induction of plant extract (200 and 400 mg/kg, b.w, p.o) has minimized the castor oil mediated diarrhea by 16.96% (p < 0.01) and 38.89% (p < 0.001) respectively compared to control group. The methanol extract of C. gigantea showed mild sensitivity against almost all the tested strains but it shows high consistency of phenolic content and yielded 67.68 μg/mL of IC50 value in the DPPH test. In the PASS prediction, selected isolated compounds have demonstrated significant antidiarrheal and antimicrobial activity following the Lipinski drug rules which have ascertained efficacy with the compounds in molecular docking study. CONCLUSION The results of this scientific research reflects that the methanol soluble extract of C. gigantea is safe and may provide possibilities of alleviation of diarrhea along with being a potential wellspring of antioxidant and antimicrobial agents which can be considered as an alternate source for exploration of new medicinal products in near future.

Abstract
Decarboxylative addition reactions are well known as an effective approach to
C–C bonds formation due to the availability of starting reagents, ease of handling, and low
environmental impact. This approach clearly demonstrated its potential for the synthesis
of the variety of acyclic and heterocyclic compounds, including optically active ones. The
significant amount of articles devoted to this topic published in recent years proves the
importance of this approach in modern organic synthesis. In this review, the recent
achievements in decarboxylative addition to C=C, C=N, and C=O bonds have been summarized
and discussed over the last 6 years.

Abstract
Pimelic acid, a seven carbon α,ω-dicarboxylic acid (heptanedioic acid), is known to provide seven of the ten biotin carbon atoms including all those of the valeryl side chain. Distinct pimelate synthesis pathways were recently elucidated in Escherichia coli and Bacillus subtilis where fatty acid synthesis plus dedicated biotin enzymes produce the pimelate moiety. In contrast, the α-proteobacteria which include important plant and mammalian pathogens plus plant symbionts, lack all of the known pimelate synthesis genes and instead encode bioZ genes. Here we report a pathway in which BioZ proteins catalyze a 3-ketoacyl-acyl carrier protein (ACP) synthase III-like reaction to produce pimeloyl-ACP with five of the seven pimelate carbon atoms being derived from glutaryl-CoA, an intermediate in lysine degradation. Agrobacterium tumefaciens strains either deleted for bioZ or which encode a BioZ active site mutant are biotin auxotrophs, as are strains defective in CaiB which catalyzes glutaryl-CoA synthesis from glutarate and succinyl-CoA.

Abstract
Two series of aminoguanidines containing an alkynyl moiety were designed, synthesised, and screened for antibacterial and anticancer activities. Generally, the series 3a-3j with a 1,2-diphenylethyne exhibited better antibacterial activity than the other series (6a-6k) holding 1,4-diphenylbuta-1,3-diyne moiety antibacterial activity. Most compounds in series 3a-3j showed potent growth inhibition against the tested bacterial strains, with minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) values in the range 0.25-8 µg/mL. Compound 3g demonstrated rapid and persistent bactericidal activity at 2 × MIC. The resistance study revealed that resistance of the tested bacteria towards 3g is not easily developed. Molecular docking studies revealed that compounds 3g and 6e bind strongly to the LpxC and FabH enzymes. Moreover, excellent activity of selected compounds against the growth of cancer cell lines A549 and SGC7901 was also observed, with IC50 values in the range 0.30-4.57 µg/mL. These findings indicate that compounds containing the aminoguanidine moiety are promising candidates for the development of new antibacterial and anticancer agents.

Abstract
The enzymes HaKCS1 and HaKCS2 are expressed in sunflower seeds and contribute to elongation of C18 fatty acids, resulting in the C20-C24 fatty acids in sunflower oil. Most plant fatty acids are produced by plastidial soluble fatty acid synthases that produce fatty acids of up to 18 carbon atoms. However, further acyl chain elongations can take place in the endoplasmic reticulum, catalysed by membrane-bound synthases that act on acyl-CoAs. The condensing enzymes of these complexes are the ketoacyl-CoA synthase (KCSs), responsible for the synthesis of very long chain fatty acids (VLCFAs) and their derivatives in plants, these including waxes and cuticle hydrocarbons, as well as fatty aldehydes. Sunflower seeds accumulate oil that contains around 2-3% of VLCFAs and studies of the fatty acid elongase activity in developing sunflower embryos indicate that two different KCS isoforms drive the synthesis of these fatty acids. Here, two cDNAs encoding distinct KCSs were amplified from RNAs extracted from developing sunflower embryos and named HaKCS1 and HaKCS2. These genes are expressed in developing seeds during the period of oil accumulation and they are clear candidates to condition sunflower oil synthesis. These two KCS cDNAs complement a yeast elongase null mutant and when expressed in yeast, they alter the host's fatty acid profile, proving the encoded KCSs are functional. The structure of these enzymes was modelled and their contribution to the presence of VLCFAs in sunflower oil is discussed based on the results obtained.

Abstract
A series of novel 1,4-benzodioxane thiazolidinedione piperazine derivatives targeting FabH were designed and synthesized. The compounds exhibited better inhibitory activity against Gram-negative bacteria by computer-assisted screening, antibacterial activity test and E. coli FabH inhibitory activity test, wherein compound 6j exhibited the most significant inhibitory activity (MIC = 1.80 μΜ for P. aeruginosa, MIC = 1.56 μΜ for E. coli). Besides, compound 6j still showed the best E. coli FabH inhibitory activity (IC50 = 0.06 μΜ). Moreover, the antibacterial activities of all compounds were strongly correlated with the inhibitory ability of FabH, with a correlation coefficient of 0.954. Computational docking studies also showed that compound 6j has interacting with FabH key residues in the active site.

Abstract
C-C bond-forming reactions are key transformations for setting up the carbon frameworks of organic compounds. In this context, Friedel-Crafts acylation is commonly used for the synthesis of aryl ketones, which are common motifs in many fine chemicals and natural products. A bacterial multicomponent acyltransferase from Pseudomonas protegens (PpATase) catalyzes such Friedel-Crafts C-acylation of phenolic substrates in aqueous solution, reaching up to >99 % conversion without the need for CoA-activated reagents. We determined X-ray crystal structures of the native and ligand-bound complexes. This multimeric enzyme consists of three subunits: PhlA, PhlB, and PhlC, arranged in a Phl(A2 C2 )2 B4 composition. The structure of a reaction intermediate obtained from crystals soaked with the natural substrate 1-(2,4,6-trihydroxyphenyl)ethanone together with site-directed mutagenesis studies revealed that only residues from the PhlC subunits are involved in the acyl transfer reaction, with Cys88 very likely playing a significant role during catalysis. These structural and mechanistic insights form the basis of further enzyme engineering efforts directed towards enhancing the substrate scope of this enzyme.

Abstract
Propionibacterium acnes is an anaerobic gram-positive bacterium found in the niche of the sebaceous glands in the human skin, and is a causal pathogen of inflammatory skin diseases as well as periprosthetic joint infection. To gain effective control of P. acnes, a deeper understanding of the cellular metabolism mechanism involved in its ability to reside in this unique environment is needed. P. acnes exhibits typical cell membrane features of gram-positive bacteria, such as control of membrane fluidity by branched-chain fatty acids (BCFAs). Branching at the iso- or anteiso-position is achieved by incorporation of isobutyryl- or 2-methyl-butyryl-CoA via β-ketoacyl acyl carrier protein synthase (KAS III) from fatty acid synthesis. Here, we determined the crystal structure of P. acnes KAS III (PaKAS III) at the resolution of 1.9 Å for the first time. Conformation-sensitive urea polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and tryptophan fluorescence quenching experiments confirmed that PaKAS III prefers isobutyryl-CoA as the acetyl-CoA, and the unique shape of the active site cavity complies with incorporation of branched-short chain CoAs. The determined structure clearly illustrates how BCFA synthesis is achieved in P. acnes. Moreover, the unique shape of the cavity required for the branched-chain primer can be invaluable in designing novel inhibitors of PaKAS III and developing new specifically targeted antibiotics.

Abstract
Covering: up to April 5, 2018 Metabolites from type II fatty acid synthase (FAS) and polyketide synthase (PKS) pathways differ broadly in their identities and functional roles. The former are considered primary metabolites that are linear hydrocarbon acids, while the latter are complex aromatic or polyunsaturated secondary metabolites. Though the study of bacterial FAS has benefitted from decades of biochemical and structural investigations, type II PKSs have remained less understood. Here we review the recent approaches to understanding the protein-protein and protein-substrate interactions in these pathways, with an emphasis on recent chemical biology and structural applications. New approaches to the study of FAS have highlighted the critical role of the acyl carrier protein (ACP) with regard to how it stabilizes intermediates through sequestration and selectively delivers cargo to successive enzymes within these iterative pathways, utilizing protein-protein interactions to guide and organize enzymatic timing and specificity. Recent tools that have shown promise in FAS elucidation should find new approaches to studying type II PKS systems in the coming years.

[PMID: 29917313 PMCID: PMC6105497 DOI: 10.1111/febs.14588] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/05/2018] [Revised: 05/31/2018] [Accepted: 06/15/2018] [Indexed: 01/14/2023]
Abstract
Vibrio cholerae, the causative pathogen of the life-threatening infection cholera, encodes two copies of β-ketoacyl-acyl carrier protein synthase III (vcFabH1 and vcFabH2). vcFabH1 and vcFabH2 are pathogenic proteins associated with fatty acid synthesis, lipid metabolism, and potential applications in biofuel production. Our biochemical assays characterize vcFabH1 as exhibiting specificity for acetyl-CoA and CoA thioesters with short acyl chains, similar to that observed for FabH homologs found in most gram-negative bacteria. vcFabH2 prefers medium chain-length acyl-CoA thioesters, particularly octanoyl-CoA, which is a pattern of specificity rarely seen in bacteria. Structural characterization of one vcFabH1 and six vcFabH2 structures determined in either apo form or in complex with acetyl-CoA/octanoyl-CoA indicate that the substrate-binding pockets of vcFabH1 and vcFabH2 are of different sizes, accounting for variations in substrate chain-length specificity. An unusual and unique feature of vcFabH2 is its C-terminal fragment that interacts with both the substrate-entrance loop and the dimer interface of the enzyme. Our discovery of the pattern of substrate specificity of both vcFabH1 and vcFabH2 can potentially aid the development of novel antibacterial agents against V. cholerae. Additionally, the distinctive substrate preference of FabH2 in V. cholerae and related facultative anaerobes conceivably make it an attractive component of genetically engineered bacteria used for commercial biofuel production.

Abstract
Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a bacterial pathogen that causes life-threatening infections in immunocompromised patients. It produces a large armory of saturated and mono-unsaturated 2-alkyl-4(1H)-quinolones (AQs) and AQ N-oxides (AQNOs) that serve as signaling molecules to control the production of virulence factors and that are involved in membrane vesicle formation and iron chelation; furthermore, they also have, for example, antibiotic properties. It has been shown that the β-ketoacyl-acyl-carrier protein synthase III (FabH)-like heterodimeric enzyme PqsBC catalyzes the last step in the biosynthesis of the most abundant AQ congener, 2-heptyl-4(1H)-quinolone (HHQ), by condensing octanoyl-coenzyme A (CoA) with 2-aminobenzoylacetate (2-ABA), but the basis for the large number of other AQs/AQNOs produced by P. aeruginosa is not known. Here, we demonstrate that PqsBC uses different medium-chain acyl-CoAs to produce various saturated AQs/AQNOs and that it also biosynthesizes mono-unsaturated congeners. Further, we determined the structures of PqsBC in four different crystal forms at 1.5 to 2.7 Å resolution. Together with a previous report, the data reveal that PqsBC adopts open, intermediate, and closed conformations that alter the shape of the acyl-binding cavity and explain the promiscuity of PqsBC. The different conformations also allow us to propose a model for structural transitions that accompany the catalytic cycle of PqsBC that might have broader implications for other FabH-enzymes, for which such structural transitions have been postulated but have never been observed.

Abstract
Originally annotated as the initiator of fatty acid synthesis (FAS), β-ketoacyl-acyl carrier protein synthase III (KAS III) is a unique component of the bacterial FAS system. Novel variants of KAS III have been identified that promote the de novo use of additional extracellular fatty acids by FAS. These KAS III variants prefer longer acyl-groups, notably octanoyl-CoA. Acinetobacter baumannii, a clinically important nosocomial pathogen, contains such a multifunctional KAS III (AbKAS III). To characterize the structural basis of its substrate specificity, we determined the crystal structures of AbKAS III in the presence of different substrates. The acyl-group binding cavity of AbKAS III and co-crystal structure of AbKAS III and octanoyl-CoA confirmed that the cavity can accommodate acyl groups with longer alkyl chains. Interestingly, Cys264 formed a disulfide bond with residual CoA used in the crystallization, which distorted helices at the putative interface with acyl-carrier proteins. The crystal structure of KAS III in the alternate conformation can also be utilized for designing novel antibiotics.

Abstract
Renewable production of hydrocarbons is being pursued as a petroleum-independent source of commodity chemicals and replacement for biofuels. The bacterial biosynthesis of long-chain olefins represents one such platform. The process is initiated by OleA catalyzing the condensation of two fatty acyl-coenzyme A substrates to form a β-keto acid. Here, the mechanistic role of the conserved His285 is investigated through mutagenesis, activity assays, and X-ray crystallography. Our data demonstrate that His285 is required for product formation, influences the thiolase nucleophile Cys143 and the acyl-enzyme intermediate before and after transesterification, and orchestrates substrate coordination as a defining component of an oxyanion hole. As a consequence, His285 plays a key role in enabling a mechanistic strategy in OleA that is distinct from other thiolases.

Abstract
Development of new antimicrobial agents is required against the causative agent for listeriosis, Listeria monocytogenes, as the number of drug resistant strains continues to increase. A promising target is the β-ketoacyl-acyl carrier protein synthase FabF, which participates in the catalysis of fatty acid synthesis and elongation, and is required for the production of phospholipid membranes, lipoproteins, and lipopolysaccharides. In this study, we report the 1.35 Å crystal structure of FabF from L. monocytogenes, providing an excellent platform for the rational design of novel inhibitors. By comparing the structure of L. monocytogenes FabF with other published bacterial FabF structures in complex with known inhibitors and substrates, we highlight conformational changes within the active site, which will need to be accounted for during drug design and virtual screening studies. This high-resolution structure of FabF represents an important step in the development of new classes of antimicrobial agents targeting FabF for the treatment of listeriosis.

Abstract
To discover potent antibiotics against the Gram-negative bacteria, we performed a structure-activity relationship (SAR) study of YKsa-6, which was the most potent inhibitor of Staphylococcus aureus β-ketoacyl acyl carrier protein III in our previous study. We identified and selected 11 candidates, and finally screened two active compounds, YKab-4 (4-[(3-chloro-4-methylphenyl)aminoiminomethyl]benzene-1,3-diol) and YKab-6 (4-[[3-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]aminoiminomethyl]phenol) as inhibitors of Acinetobacter baumannii KAS III (abKAS III). They showed potent antimicrobial activities at 2 or 8 μg/mL, specifically against Acinetobacter baumannii and a strong binding affinity for abKAS III. From the homology modeling, we defined the three-dimensional (3D) structure of abKAS III for the first time and found that it had an extra loop region compared with common Gram-negative bacteria derived KAS IIIs. The docking study revealed that the hydroxyl groups of inhibitors formed extensive hydrogen bonds and the complicated hydrophobic and cation-stacking interactions are important to binding with abKAS III. We confirmed that the hydrophobicity of these compounds might be the essential factor for their antimicrobial activities against Gram-negative bacteria as well as their structural rigidity, a cooperative feature for retaining the hydrophobic interactions between abKAS III and its inhibitors. This study may provide an insight developing strategies for potent antibiotics against A. baumannii.

Abstract
A series of 15 (E)-N'-benzylidenebenzohydrazide analogues were evaluated for their antimicrobial activities against eleven pathogenic and food-borne microbes, namely, S. aureus (G(+)), L. monocytogenes (G(+)), B. subtilis (G(+)), K. pneumonia (G¯), C. sakazakii (G¯), C. freundii (G¯), S. enterica (G¯), S. enteritidis (G¯), E. coli (G¯), Y. pestis (G¯), and P. aeruginosa (G¯). Most of the compounds exhibited selective activity against some Gram-negative bacterial strains. Of the compounds tested (3a-o), 3b and 3g were most active against C. freundii (MIC = ~19 µg mL(-1)). Whereas, compounds 3d, 3i, 3k and 3n exhibited MIC values ranging from 37.5 to 75 μg mL(-1) against C. freundii, and compounds 3e, 3l and 3n had MIC values of ~75 μg mL(-1) against K. pneumonia. Quantitative structure-antibacterial activity relationships were studied using physicochemical parameters and a good correlation was found between calculated octanol-water partition coefficients (clogP; a lipophilic parameter) and antibacterial activities. In silico screening was also performed by docking high (3b and 3g) and low (3n) activity compounds on the active site of E. coli FabH receptor, which is an important therapeutic target. The findings of these in silico screening studies provide a theoretical basis for the design and synthesis of novel benzylidenebenzohydrazide analogues that inhibit bacterial FabH.

Abstract
Fatty acid biosynthesis is essential to bacterial growth in Gram-negative pathogens. Several small molecules identified through a combination of high-throughput and fragment screening were cocrystallized with FabH (β-ketoacyl-acyl carrier protein synthase III) from Escherichia coli and Streptococcus pneumoniae. Structure-based drug design was used to merge several scaffolds to provide a new class of inhibitors. After optimization for Gram-negative enzyme inhibitory potency, several compounds demonstrated antimicrobial activity against an efflux-negative strain of Haemophilus influenzae. Mutants resistant to these compounds had mutations in the FabH gene near the catalytic triad, validating FabH as a target for antimicrobial drug discovery.

Abstract
Four naphtho-γ-pyrones (fonsecinones A and C and aurasperones A and E) were identified as potential antibacterial agents against Escherichia coli, extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL)-producing E. coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Enterococcus faecalis, and methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) in an in vitro antibacterial screen of 218 fungal metabolites. Fonsecinone A (2) exhibited the most potent antibacterial activity, with minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) of 4.26, 17.04, and 4.26 μg/mL against ESBL-producing E. coli, P. aeruginosa, and E. faecalis, respectively. The inhibitory effects of fonsecinones A (2) and C (3) against E. coli and ESBL-producing E. coli were comparable to those of amikacin. Molecular docking-based target identification of naphtho-γ-pyrones 1–8 revealed bacterial enoyl-acyl carrier protein reductase (FabI) as an antibacterial target, which was further validated by FabI affinity and inhibition assays. Fonsecinones A (2) and C (3) and aurasperones A (6) and E (7) bound FabI specifically and produced concentration-dependent inhibition effects. This work is the first report of anti-drug-resistant bacterial activities of naphtho-γ-pyrones 1–8 and their possible antibacterial mechanism of action and provides an example of the successful application of in silico methods for drug target identification and validation and the identification of new lead antibiotic compounds against drug-resistant pathogens.

Abstract
Pseudomonas aeruginosa produces a number of alkylquinolone-type secondary metabolites best known for their antimicrobial effects and involvement in cell-cell communication. In the alkylquinolone biosynthetic pathway, the β-ketoacyl-(acyl carrier protein) synthase III (FabH)-like enzyme PqsBC catalyzes the condensation of octanoyl-coenzyme A and 2-aminobenzoylacetate (2-ABA) to form the signal molecule 2-heptyl-4(1H)-quinolone. PqsBC, a potential drug target, is unique for its heterodimeric arrangement and an active site different from that of canonical FabH-like enzymes. Considering the sequence dissimilarity between the subunits, a key question was how the two subunits are organized with respect to the active site. In this study, the PqsBC structure was determined to a 2 Å resolution, revealing that PqsB and PqsC have a pseudo-2-fold symmetry that unexpectedly mimics the FabH homodimer. PqsC has an active site composed of Cys-129 and His-269, and the surrounding active site cleft is hydrophobic in character and approximately twice the volume of related FabH enzymes that may be a requirement to accommodate the aromatic substrate 2-ABA. From physiological and kinetic studies, we identified 2-aminoacetophenone as a pathway-inherent competitive inhibitor of PqsBC, whose fluorescence properties could be used for in vitro binding studies. In a time-resolved setup, we demonstrated that the catalytic histidine is not involved in acyl-enzyme formation, but contributes to an acylation-dependent increase in affinity for the second substrate 2-ABA. Introduction of Asn into the PqsC active site led to significant activity toward the desamino substrate analog benzoylacetate, suggesting that the substrate 2-ABA itself supplies the asparagine-equivalent amino function that assists in catalysis.

Abstract
Corallopyronin A is a polyketide derived from the myxobacterium Corallococcus coralloides with potent antibiotic features.
Corallopyronin A is a polyketide derived from the myxobacterium Corallococcus coralloides with potent antibiotic features. The gene cluster responsible for the biosynthesis of corallopyronin A has been described recently, and it was proposed that CorB acts as a ketosynthase to interconnect two polyketide chains in a rare head-to-head condensation reaction. We determined the structure of CorB, the interconnecting polyketide synthase, to high resolution and found that CorB displays a thiolase fold. Site-directed mutagenesis showed that the catalytic triad consisting of a cysteine, a histidine and an asparagine is crucial for catalysis, and that this triad shares similarities with the triad found in HMG-CoA synthases. We synthesized a substrate mimic to derivatize purified CorB and confirmed substrate attachment by ESI-MS. Structural analysis of the complex yielded an electron density-based model for the polyketide chain and showed that the unusually wide, T-shaped active site is able to accommodate two polyketides simultaneously. Our structural analysis provides a platform for understanding the unusual head-to-head polyketide-interconnecting reaction catalyzed by CorB.

Abstract
β-Ketoacyl-ACP-synthase III (FabH or KAS III) has become an attractive target for the development of new antibacterial agents which can overcome the multidrug resistance. Unraveling the fatty acid biosynthesis (FAB) metabolic pathway and understanding structural coordinates of FabH will provide valuable insights to target Streptococcus gordonii for curing oral infection. In this study, we designed inhibitors against therapeutic target FabH, in order to block the FAB pathway. As compared to other targets, FabH has more interactions with other proteins, located on the leading strand with higher codon adaptation index value and associated with lipid metabolism category of COG. Current study aims to gain in silico insights into the structural and dynamical aspect of S. gordonii FabH via molecular docking and molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. The FabH protein is catalytically active in dimerization while it can lock in monomeric state. Current study highlights two residues Pro88 and Leu315 that are close to each other by dimerization. The active site of FabH is composed of the catalytic triad formed by residues Cys112, His249, and Asn279 in which Cys112 is involved in acetyl transfer, while His249 and Asn279 play an active role in decarboxylation. Docking analysis revealed that among the studied compounds, methyl-CoA disulfide has highest GOLD score (82.75), binding affinity (-11 kcal/mol) and exhibited consistently better interactions. During MD simulations, the FabH structure remained stable with the average RMSD value of 1.7 Å and 1.6 Å for undocked protein and docked complex, respectively. Further, crucial hydrogen bonding of the conserved catalytic triad for exhibiting high affinity between the FabH protein and ligand is observed by RDF analysis. The MD simulation results clearly demonstrated that binding of the inhibitor with S. gordonii FabH enhanced the structure and stabilized the dimeric FabH protein. Therefore, the inhibitor has the potential to become a lead compound.

Abstract
A series of metronidazole-thiazole derivatives has been designed, synthesized and evaluated as potential antibacterial inhibitors. All the synthesized compounds were determined by elemental analysis, 1H NMR and MS. They were also tested for antibacterial activity against Escherichia coli, Bacillus thuringiensis, Bacillus subtilis and Pseudomonas aeruginosa as well as for the inhibition to FabH. The results showed that compound 5e exhibited the most potent inhibitory activity against E. coli FabH with IC50 of 4.9μM. Molecular modeling simulation studies were performed in order to predict the biological activity of proposed compounds. Toxicity assay of compounds 5a, 5b, 5d, 5e, 5g and 5i showed that they were noncytotoxic against human macrophage. The results revealed that these compounds offered remarkable viability.
