Hydroxyalkylquinolines (HAQs) are ubiquitious natural products but their interactions with associated protein targets remain elusive. We report X-ray crystal structures of two HAQs in complex with dihydroorotate dehydrogenase (DHODH). Our results reveal the structural basis of DHODH inhibition by HAQs and open the door to downstream structure-activity relationship studies.
羟基烷基喹啉(HAQs)是普遍存在的天然产物,但其与相关蛋白质靶点的相互作用仍不清楚。我们报告了两种HAQs与二氢乳清酸脱氢酶(DHODH)复合物的X射线晶体结构。我们的结果揭示了HAQs抑制DHODH的结构基础,并为下游构效关系研究打开了大门。
