Abstract
Allosteric modulators bear great potential to fine-tune neurotransmitter action. Promising targets are metabotropic glutamate (mGlu) receptors, which are associated with numerous brain diseases. Orthosteric and allosteric ligands act in synergy to control the activity of these multidomain dimeric GPCRs. Here, we analyzed the effect of such molecules on the concerted conformational changes of full-length mGlu2 at the single-molecule level. We first established FRET sensors through genetic code expansion combined with click chemistry to monitor conformational changes on live cells. We then used single-molecule FRET and show that orthosteric agonist binding leads to the stabilization of most of the glutamate binding domains in their closed state, while the reorientation of the dimer into the active state remains partial. Allosteric modulators, interacting with the transmembrane domain, are required to stabilize the fully reoriented active dimer. These results illustrate how concerted conformational changes within multidomain proteins control their activity, and how these are modulated by allosteric ligands.

Abstract
The main inhibitory neurotransmitter, γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA), modulates many synapses by activating the G protein-coupled receptor GABAB, which is a target for various therapeutic applications. It is an obligatory heterodimer made of GB1 and GB2 that can be regulated by positive allosteric modulators (PAMs). The molecular mechanism of activation of the GABAB receptor remains poorly understood. Here, we have developed FRET-based conformational GABAB sensors compatible with high-throughput screening. We identified conformational changes occurring within the extracellular and transmembrane domains upon receptor activation, which are smaller than those observed in the related metabotropic glutamate receptors. These sensors also allow discrimination between agonists of different efficacies and between PAMs that have different modes of action, which has not always been possible using conventional functional assays. Our study brings important new information on the activation mechanism of the GABAB receptor and should facilitate the screening and identification of new chemicals targeting this receptor.

Abstract
In many streptococci, competence for natural DNA transformation is regulated by the Rgg-type regulator ComR and the pheromone ComS, which is sensed intracellularly. We compared the ComRS systems of four model streptococcal species using in vitro and in silico approaches, to determine the mechanism of the ComRS-dependent regulation of competence. In all systems investigated, ComR was shown to be the proximal transcriptional activator of the expression of key competence genes. Efficient binding of ComR to DNA is strictly dependent on the presence of the pheromone (C-terminal ComS octapeptide), in contrast with other streptococcal Rgg-type regulators. The 20 bp palindromic ComR-box is the minimal genetic requirement for binding of ComR, and its sequence directly determines the expression level of genes under its control. Despite the apparent species-specific specialization of the ComR-ComS interaction, mutagenesis of ComS residues from Streptococcus thermophilus highlighted an unexpected permissiveness with respect to its biological activity. In agreement, heterologous ComS, and even primary sequence-unrelated, casein-derived octapeptides, were able to induce competence development in S. thermophilus. The lack of stringency of ComS sequence suggests that competence of a specific Streptococcus species may be modulated by other streptococci or by non-specific nutritive oligopeptides present in its environment.

Abstract
In this paper, we describe the screening of a 14640-compound library using a novel whole mycobacteria phenotypic assay to discover inhibitors of EthR, a transcriptional repressor implicated in the innate resistance of Mycobacterium tuberculosis to the second-line antituberculosis drug ethionamide. From this screening a new chemical family of EthR inhibitors bearing an N-phenylphenoxyacetamide motif was identified. The X-ray structure of the most potent compound crystallized with EthR inspired the synthesis of a 960-member focused library. These compounds were tested in vitro using a rapid thermal shift assay on EthR to accelerate the optimization. The best compounds were synthesized on a larger scale and confirmed as potent ethionamide boosters on M. tuberculosis -infected macrophages. Finally, the cocrystallization of the best optimized analogue with EthR revealed an unexpected reorientation of the ligand in the binding pocket.

Abstract
Ethionamide is an antituberculous drug for the treatment of multidrug-resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis. This antibiotic requires activation by the monooxygenase EthA to exert its activity. Production of EthA is controlled by the transcriptional repressor EthR, a member of the TetR family. The sensitivity of M. tuberculosis to ethionamide can be artificially enhanced using synthetic ligands of EthR that allosterically inactivate its DNA-binding activity. Comparison of several structures of EthR co-crystallized with various ligands suggested that the structural reorganization of EthR resulting in its inactivation is controlled by a limited portion of the ligand-binding-pocket. In silico simulation predicted that mutation G106W may mimic ligands. X-ray crystallography of variant G106W indeed revealed a protein structurally similar to ligand-bound EthR. Surface plasmon resonance experiments established that this variant is unable to bind DNA, while thermal shift studies demonstrated that mutation G106W stabilizes EthR as strongly as ligands. Proton NMR of the methyl regions showed a lesser contribution of exchange broadening upon ligand binding, and the same quenched dynamics was observed in apo-variant G106W. Altogether, we here show that the area surrounding Gly106 constitutes the molecular switch involved in the conformational reorganization of EthR. These results also shed light on the mechanistic of ligand-induced allosterism controlling the DNA binding properties of TetR family repressors.

Abstract
Mycobacterial transcriptional repressor EthR controls the expression of EthA, the bacterial monooxygenase activating ethionamide, and is thus largely responsible for the low sensitivity of the human pathogen Mycobacterium tuberculosis to this antibiotic. We recently reported structure-activity relationships of a series of 1,2,4-oxadiazole EthR inhibitors leading to the discovery of potent ethionamide boosters. Despite high metabolic stability, pharmacokinetic evaluation revealed poor mice exposure; therefore, a second phase of optimization was required. Herein a structure-property relationship study is reported according to the replacement of the two aromatic heterocycles: 2-thienyl and 1,2,4-oxadiazolyl moieties. This work was done using a combination of structure-based drug design and in vitro/ex vivo evaluations of ethionamide boosters on the targeted protein EthR and on the human pathogen Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Thanks to this process, we identified compound 42 (BDM41906), which displays improved efficacy in addition to high exposure to mice after oral administration.

Abstract
We report in this article an extensive structure-activity relationships (SAR) study with 58 thiophen-2-yl-1,2,4-oxadiazoles as inhibitors of EthR, a transcriptional regulator controling ethionamide bioactivation in Mycobacterium tuberculosis. We explored the replacement of two key fragments of the starting lead BDM31343. We investigated the potency of all analogues to boost subactive doses of ethionamide on a phenotypic assay involving M. tuberculosis infected macrophages and then ascertained the mode of action of the most active compounds using a functional target-based surface plasmon resonance assay. This process revealed that introduction of 4,4,4-trifluorobutyryl chain instead of cyanoacetyl group was crucial for intracellular activity. Replacement of 1,4-piperidyl by (R)-1,3-pyrrolidyl scaffold did not enhance activity but led to improved pharmacokinetic properties. Furthermore, the crystal structures of ligand-EthR complexes were consistent with the observed SAR. In conclusion, we identified EthR inhibitors that boost antibacterial activity of ethionamide with nanomolar potency while improving solubility and metabolic stability.

Abstract
The sodium/iodide symporter (NIS) mediates the active transport of iodide from the bloodstream into thyrocytes. NIS function is strategic for the diagnosis and treatment of various thyroid diseases. In addition, a promising anti-cancer strategy based on targeted NIS gene transfer in non-thyroidal cells is currently developed. However, only little information is available concerning the molecular mechanism of NIS-mediated iodide translocation. Ten small molecules have recently been identified using a high-throughput screening method for their inhibitory effect on iodide uptake of NIS-expressing mammalian cells. In the present study, we analyzed these compounds for their rapid and reversible effects on the iodide-induced current in NIS-expressing Xenopus oocytes. Four molecules almost completely inhibited the iodide-induced current; for three of them the effect was irreversible, for one compound the initial current could be fully re-established after washout. Three molecules showed a rapid inhibitory effect of about 75%, half of which was reversible. Another three compounds inhibited the iodide-induced current from 10 to 50%. Some molecules altered the membrane conductance by themselves, i.e. in the absence of iodide. For one of these molecules the observed effect was also found in water-injected oocytes whereas for some others the iodide-independent effect was associated with NIS expression. The tested molecules show a surprisingly high variability in their possible mode of action, and thus are promising tools for further functional characterization of NIS on a molecular level, and they could be useful for medical applications.

One of these new photoactivatable compounds retained biological activity and was further radiolabeled with tritium. This compound may provide a useful tool for labeling, purification, and identification of target protein responsible for iodide efflux in thyrocytes.

Abstract
The ability of the sodium/iodide symporter (NIS) to take up iodide has long provided the basis for cytoreductive gene therapy and cancer treatment with radioiodide. One of the major limitations of this approach is that radioiodide retention in NIS-expressing cells is not sufficient for their destruction. We identified and characterized a small organic molecule capable of increasing iodide retention in HEK293 cells permanently transfected with human NIS cDNA (hNIS-HEK293) and in the rat thyroid-derived cell line FRTL-5. In the presence of 3-biphenyl-4'-yl-5,6-dihydroimidazo[2,1-b]thiazole (ISA1), the transmembrane iodide concentration gradient was increased up to 4.5-fold. Our experiments indicate that the imidazothiazole derivative acts either by inhibiting anion efflux mechanisms, or by promoting the relocation of iodide into subcellular compartments. This new compound is not only an attractive chemical tool to investigate the mechanisms of iodide flux at the cellular level, but also opens promising perspectives in the treatment of cancer after NIS gene transfer.

Abstract
A high-throughput screening method based on radioiodide uptake in human embryonic kidney 293 cells expressing the human sodium/iodide symporter was developed. Central to assay development was a homogeneous cell culture in the 96-well microplate coupled with the use of scintillation proximity technology. The assay is fast and highly reproducible with a Z' greater than 0.8. The automated procedure allows the screening of 4,000 compounds per day. Using this methodology, several known substrates of the sodium/iodide symporter were evaluated in a single day. Inhibition of iodide uptake was shown to follow the series PF(6)(-) > ClO(4)(-) > BF(4)(-) > SCN(-) >> NO(3)(-) > IO(4)(-) > N(3)(-) >> Br(-), in accord with the literature. This method represents an initial approach to the search for inhibitors of iodide transport mediated by the sodium/iodide symporter.
