Using a continuous fluorescence-based enzyme assay, we have characterized the antibacterial agents tumicamycin and liposidomycin B as inhibitors of solubilized Escherichia coli phospho-N-acetylmuramyl-pentapeptide translocase. Tunicamycin exhibited reversible inhibition (Ki = 0.55 +/- 0.1 microM) which was noncompetitive with respect to the lipid acceptor substrate and competitive with respect to the fluorescent substrate analog, dansyl-UDPMurNAc-pentapeptide. Liposidomycin B exhibited slow-binding inhibition (Ki = 80 +/- 15 nM) which was competitive with respect to the lipid acceptor substrate and noncompetitive with respect to dansyl-UDPMurNAc-pentapeptide. These results provide insight into the molecular mechanisms of action of these two classes of nucleoside antibiotics.
通过基于连续荧光的酶分析,我们已将抗细菌剂衣霉素和脂多霉素B表征为溶解的大肠杆菌磷酸-N-乙酰胞壁酰-五肽转位酶的抑制剂。衣霉素表现出可逆抑制作用(Ki = 0.55±0.1 microM),相对于脂质受体底物而言是非竞争性的,而相对于荧光底物类似物丹磺酰-UDPMurNAc-五肽而言是竞争性的。脂多霉素B表现出慢结合抑制作用(Ki = 80±15 nM),相对于脂质受体底物而言是竞争性的,而相对于丹磺酰-UDPMurNAc-五肽而言是非竞争性的。这些结果为这两类核苷抗生素的分子作用机制提供了深入了解。
