Cyclic-di-adenosine monophosphate (c-di-AMP) is a bacterial second messenger that binds to an RNA receptor called riboswitch and regulates its downstream genes involving cell wall metabolism, ion transport, and spore germination. Therefore, the c-di-AMP riboswitch can be a novel target of antibiotics. In this study, we synthesized c-di-4'-thioAMP (1), which possesses a sulfur atom instead of an oxygen atom in the furanose ring, as a candidate of a bioisoster for natural c-di-AMP. The resulting 1 bound to the c-di-AMP riboswitch with a micromolar affinity (34.8μM), and the phosphodiesterase resistance of 1 was >12-times higher than that of c-di-AMP. Thus, 1 can be considered to be a stable ligand against a c-di-AMP riboswitch.
环二磷酸腺苷(c-di-AMP)是一种细菌第二信使,它与一种名为核糖开关的RNA受体结合,并调节其涉及细胞壁代谢、离子转运和孢子萌发的下游基因。因此,c-di-AMP核糖开关可以成为抗生素的新靶点。在本研究中,我们合成了c-二-4'-硫代腺苷酸(1),其在呋喃糖环中具有一个硫原子而非氧原子,作为天然c-di-AMP的生物电子等排体候选物。所得的1以微摩尔亲和力(34.8μM)与c-di-AMP核糖开关结合,且1的磷酸二酯酶抗性比c-di-AMP高12倍以上。因此,1可被认为是针对c-di-AMP核糖开关的稳定配体。
