All steps can be targeted
Function peptidoglycan layer
And target
Gives strengt to bacterial wall
Mesh network of sugar and peptides
» Peptidoglycan down > Not a good shape and bacteria will die
Trans glycosylation
Bind sugars in long strand
PBP catalyse this reaction
Transpeptidation
Bind neighbour sugars with peptide bonds
PBP catalyse this reaction
Penicillin
Competition reaction: With D-ALA:
Binds in pocket region of transpeptidation reaction takes place > Breaks bond > Inhibit elongation
Most important targets in periplasm because:
Membrane enzymes are interesting targets. They’re easy to reach
Derogation
Afbraak peptidoglycan
Because it’s a dynamic proces
Elefheria terrae and its target
- It’s a gramnegative bacterium against gram positive bacteria. Tested for antimicrobial activity:
- Soil bacteria with Lipid II target peptidoglycan
- Antibiotic can’t pass outer membrane
- Couldn’t find resistance mechanism in bacteria
Peptidoglycan synthesis
2 models:
1.Takes place during elongation: Inserted in cylindrial wall
2. During division: Complete new synthesis of the cell poles
Different PBPs and different enzymes during this processes
MreB
Peripheral membrane protein at membrane in helical way:
- Binds to enzymes that are important for peptidoglycan
- Helps localising the elongasome
- Without MreB: Structure will not form > Bacteria grows in spheres and die
FTS-Z and Z-ring
Indispensible cellular entity (onmisbaar voor de cel)
Formation of Z-ring in middle of elongated cell
- The ring binds to the membrane via Zap A and FtsA
- Polymerizes to form a contractile ring
- GTP hydrolyzes : GTP couples to FtsZ monomers head to tail and forms a ring
> The ring recruit division proteins (ZipA , FtsK)
> The diameter decreases in this proces
»_space; After cell division you get disassembly (demontage)
Membrane protein FTS-Q in biogenesis E.coli:
Onderzocht by site specific photo crosslinking.
In a study of interactions of proteins.
- Membrane protein with only one transmembrane segment.
Involved in cell division:
- Best protein in biogenesis
- Connects all major players: Alle major players must work together otherwise it won’t work.
- Recruits all proteins to division site
- Interacts with FTS-b and FTS-L «_space;Drug targets
FTS-Z Advantages as target (5)
- Target (Z-ring) is essential for bacteria
- Broad range antibiotics
- Catalytic activity when binding of ligands
- Developing resistance is not easy
- Structure is known
