Abstract:
The development of bacterial resistance to current antibiotic therapy has stimulated the search for novel antimicrobial agents. The essential peptidoglycan cell wall layer in bacteria is the site of action of many current drugs, such as β-lactams and vancomycin. It is also a target for a number of very potent bacterially produced antibiotic peptides, such as nisin A and lacticin 3147, both of which are highly posttranslationally modified lantibiotics that act by binding to lipid II, the peptidoglycan precursor. Another set of potential targets for antibiotic development are the bacterial enzymes that make precursors for lipid II and peptidoglycan, for example, those in the pathway to diamino pimelic acid (DAP) and its metabolic product, L-lysine. Among these, DAP epimerase is a unique nonpyridoxal phosphate (PLP) dependent enzyme that appears to use two active site thiols (Cys73 and Cys217) as a base and an acid to depro tonate the α-hydrogen of LL-DAP or meso-DAP from one side and reprotonate from the other. This process cannot be easily duplicated in the absence of the enzyme. A primary goal of our work was to generate inhibitors of DAP epi merase that would accurately mimic the natural substrates (meso-DAP and LL-DAP) in the enzyme active site and, through crystallographic analysis, provide insight into mechanism and substrate specificity. A series of aziridine-containing DAP analogs were chemically synthesized and tested as inhibitors of DAP epimerase from Haemophilus influenzae. Two diastereomers of 2-(4-amino-4-carboxybutyl)aziridine-2-carboxylic acid (AziDAP) act as rapid irreversible inactivators of DAP epimerase; the AziDAP analog of LL-DAP reacts selectively with the sulfhydryl of Cys73, whereas the corresponding analog of meso-DAP reacts with Cys217. AziDAP isomers are too unstable to be useful antibiotics. However, mass spectral and X-ray crystallographic analyses of the inactivated enzymes confirm that the thiol attacks the methylene group of the aziridine with concomitant ring opening to give a DAP analog bound in the active site. Further crystallographic analyses should yield useful mechanistic insights.Key words: enzyme mechanism, enzyme inhibition, antibiotics, aziridines, amino acids.

Abstract:
L'acide meso diaminopimelique, biosynthetise uniquement par les procaryotes et les plantes superieures, est un intermediaire clef dans le metabolisme des bacteries. C'est le precurseur direct de la lysine et un composant essentiel et specifique des parois bacteriennes ou il est implique dans la reticulation du peptidoglycane. Les enzymes intervenant dans la biosynthese et le metabolisme de l'acide diaminopimelique constituent des cibles potentielles pour de nouveaux agents antibacteriens. La conception de tels agents nous a conduit a purifier la diaminopimelate epimerase a partir d'une souche escherichia coli porteuse du gene dapf clone sur un plasmide. Nous avons determine le poids moleculaire de l'enzyme native et de l'enzyme denaturee. L'analyse de la cinetique de renaturation de cette enzyme montre que la reapparition de l'activite enzymatique est gouvernee par une cinetique d'ordre deux, suggerant une forme dimerique (homodimere) pour l'enzyme native. Le schema reactionnel est compose d'une reaction monomoleculaire rapide suivit d'une reaction bimoleculaire plus lente qui est l'etape limitante du processus. L'etude de l'inhibition de la diaminopimelate epimerase par les analogues de l'acide diaminopimelique nous a permis de montrer que l'ensemble des modifications effectuees sur l'acide 4-methylene-diaminopimelique n'a pas pour effet d'ameliorer son activite. Malgre des proprietes antibiotiques interessantes ces composes ne sont que de modestes inhibiteurs de la diaminopimelate epimerase. Certains de ces analogues peuvent en outre assurer la croissance d'un mutant auxotrophe en acide diaminopimelique. Cette propriete a ete mise a profit pour concevoir de nouvelles molecules pouvant s'incorporer dans un precurseur du peptidoglycane, a la place du meso-diaminopimelate, mais ne permettant plus aux etapes ulterieures de se produire. L'action de ces composes sur l'incorporation de l'acide meso-diaminopimelique dans la mureine a ete etudiee sur des bacteries permeabilisees. L'etude de l'inhibition du transport du meso-diaminopimelate par ces analogues a montre qu'ils presentaient des affinites differentes pour le systeme general de la cystine. Le meilleur inhibiteur est l'acide 4-methylene-diaminopimelique, qui est aussi le compose presentant la meilleure activite antibiotique. Les resultats obtenus revelent que tous les composes antibiotiques sont des inhibiteurs de la diaminopimelate epimerase et de l'incorporation de l'acide meso-diaminopimelique dans le peptidoglycane
