We present the X-ray structure of the antibacterial target enzyme MurA in complex with its substrate UNAG and the sesquiterpene lactone cnicin, a potent inhibitor of the enzyme. The structure reveals that MurA has catalyzed the formation of a covalent adduct between cnicin and UNAG. This adduct, which can be regarded as a noncovalent suicide inhibitor, has been formed by an unusual "anti-Michael" 1,3-addition of UNAG to an alpha,beta-unsaturated carbonyl function in cnicin.
我们展示了抗菌靶标酶MurA与底物UNAG以及倍半萜内酯土木香内酯(该酶的一种有效抑制剂)形成复合物的X射线结构。该结构表明,MurA催化了土木香内酯与UNAG之间共价加合物的形成。这种加合物可被视为一种非共价自杀抑制剂,它是通过UNAG以一种不寻常的“反迈克尔”1,3-加成方式加成到土木香内酯中的α,β-不饱和羰基官能团上而形成的。
