SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Activation of L-histidine biosynthesis as a new antibiotic strategy against Mycobacterium tuberculosis
DESCRIPTION:The increasing prevalence of antimicrobial resistance is an important challenge that warrants new approaches to antibiotic development. Currently\, all antibiotics inhibit biological processes. To explore whether activation of a biochemical pathway can elicit bactericidal effects we engineered variants of Mycobacterium tuberculosis ATP-phosphoribosyltransferase (ATP-PRT) that are resistant to allosteric inhibition by L-histidine\, leading to supraphysiological activation of ATP-PRT and L-histidine overproduction. Upregulation of L-histidine biosynthesis significantly reduces the growth of M. tuberculosis in culture and causes a loss of fitness owing to nutrient and energy depletion. Moreover\, the expression of allosteric variants in M. tuberculosis significantly reduced infections in human macrophages and in a mouse model of infection. Thus\, metabolic activation is a new bactericidal mechanism that could be applied to antibiotic discovery more generally.
