The PhoQ/PhoP two-component system regulates the physiological and virulence functions of . However, the mode of action of known PhoP inhibitors is unclear. We systematically constructed a pharmacophore model of inhibitors to probe the interface pharmacophore model of the PhoP dimer, coupling it with Ligplot analysis. We found that these inhibitors bind on the α5-helix, altering the conformation and interfering with PhoP binding on DNA.
PhoQ/PhoP双组分系统调节……的生理和毒力功能。然而,已知PhoP抑制剂的作用模式尚不清楚。我们系统地构建了抑制剂的药效团模型,以探究PhoP二聚体的界面药效团模型,并将其与Ligplot分析相结合。我们发现这些抑制剂结合在α5螺旋上,改变构象并干扰PhoP与DNA的结合。
