The absence of the Holliday-junction Ruv resolvase of Mycobacterium smegmatis increased the bacteriostatic and bactericidal activities of the fluoroquinolone moxifloxacin, an important antituberculosis agent. The treatment of ruvAB-deficient cells with thiourea and 2,2'-bipyridyl lowered moxifloxacin lethality to wild-type levels, indicating that the absence of ruvAB stimulates a lethal pathway involving reactive oxygen species. A hexapeptide that traps the Holliday junction substrate of RuvAB potentiated moxifloxacin-mediated lethality, supporting the development of small-molecule enhancers for moxifloxacin activity against mycobacteria.
耻垢分枝杆菌中霍利迪连接体Ruv解旋酶的缺失增强了重要抗结核药物氟喹诺酮莫西沙星的抑菌和杀菌活性。用硫脲和2,2'-联吡啶处理ruvAB缺陷型细胞可将莫西沙星的致死率降低至野生型水平,这表明ruvAB的缺失激活了一条涉及活性氧的致死途径。一种能捕获RuvAB霍利迪连接体底物的六肽增强了莫西沙星介导的致死作用,这为开发增强莫西沙星对分枝杆菌活性的小分子增强剂提供了支持。
