Resumo
Hoje em dia, em todo o mundo, existem algumas doenças responsáveis por uma grande taxa de mortalidade em humanos. Dentre essas doenças, pode-se destacar a tuberculose, infecção provocada pela bactéria Mycobacterium tuberculosis, que é a principal causa de morte em humanos devido a um único agente infeccioso. Dentre as prioridades para o combate à tuberculose, o desenvolvimento de novas drogas é premente para o desenvolvimento de um tratamento quimioterápico eficaz. Sob este aspecto, as enzimas da via do ácido chiquímico, representam bons exemplos da utilidade de tal abordagem aplicada a constituintes enzimáticos de uma rota metabólica. A via do ácido chiquímico é responsável pela síntese dos aminoácidos aromáticos, do ácido p-aminobenzóico e outros metabólitos essenciais, tais como ubiquinona, menaquinona e vitamina K. A via do chiquimato, encontrada em plantas, algas, fungos e bactérias, foi também encontrada recentemente em vários parasitas apicomplexos (Roberts et al.; 1998); entretanto, essa via metabólica não é encontrada em mamíferos. As enzimas Chiquimato Quinase e 5-Enolpiruvilchiquimato-3-Fosfato Sintase (EPSPS), a quinta e a sexta enzimas, respectivamente, nessa via metabólica, têm sido reconhecidas como alvos importantes para o desenvolvimento de herbicidas e drogas antibióticas. No presente estudo, a troca isotópica Hidrogênio / Deutério e a espectrometria de massas com ionização electrospray foram usadas para examinar as mudanças conformacionais em solução, sofridas pelas enzimas Chiquimato Quinase e 5- Enolpiruvilchiquimato-3-Fosfato Sintase (EPSPS) de Mycobacterium tuberculosis, tanto na presença como na ausência de alguns de seus ligantes. A incorporação de deutério foi observada para ambas as enzimas. Para a EPSPS, a apoenzima foi a forma que mais incorporou deutério...
Nowadays all around the world there are some diseases that cause a high index of human lethality. Among these it should be highlighted the infectious disease tuberculosis, which is the top deadly disease caused by only one agent, the bacteria Mycobacterium tuberculosis. As the currently available drugs are not suitable for the control of tuberculosis, it became vital the development of novel drugs for this purpose. Useful drugs are being developed to inhibit some enzymes of the shikimic acid pathway. This via is responsible for the synthesis of aromatic amino acids, such as the p-aminobenzoic acid and other essential metabolites, such as ubiquinone, menaquinone and K vitamin. The shikimate pathway exists in plants, algae, fungi, bacteria and was also found in some apicomplex parasites; however, it is not present in mammals. The Shikimate Kinase and 5-Enol-Pyruvyl-Shikimate-3-Phosphate Synthase (EPSPS), the fifth and sixth enzymes, respectively, present in this pathway, have been considered as important targets to development of herbicides and antibiotic drugs. In the present work the isotopic change Hydrogen/Deuterium and the electrospray ionization mass spectrometry were used to investigate the occurrence of conformational in both enzymes, in presence and absence of some of their ligands (substrates /inhibitors). The deuterium incorporation was observed in both enzymes. The apoenzyme of EPSPS, incorporated more deuterium then the enzyme complexed to phosphoenolpiruvate, which in turn incorporated more deuterium than the enzyme compled to glyphosate. The apoenzyme of Shikimate Kinase also incorporated more deuterium than the complexed form with magnesium chloride-shiquimic acid-ADP. In both enzymes, the regions less dynamics were those containing the amino acids residues of the binding sites of substrates and/or inhibitors... (Complete abstract click eletronic access below)
