Title: Antibacterial Strategy against H. pylori: Inhibition of the Radical SAM Enzyme MqnE in Menaquinone Biosynthesis.
Authors: Joshi S, Fedoseyenko D, Mahanta N, Ducati RG, Feng M, Schramm VL, Begley TP.
Abstract: Aminofutalosine synthase (MqnE) catalyzes an important rearrangement reaction in menaquinone biosynthesis by the futalosine pathway. In this Letter, we report the identification of previously unreported inhibitors of MqnE using a mechanism-guided approach. The best inhibitor shows efficient inhibitory activity against H. pylori (IC50 = 1.8 ± 0.4 μM) and identifies MqnE as a promising target for antibiotic development.
