Dynamic Combinatorial Chemistry to Identify Binders of ThiT, an S‐Component of the Energy‐Coupling Factor Transporter for Thiamine
نویسندگان
چکیده
We applied dynamic combinatorial chemistry (DCC) to identify ligands of ThiT, the S-component of the energy-coupling factor (ECF) transporter for thiamine in Lactococcus lactis. We used a pre-equilibrated dynamic combinatorial library (DCL) and saturation-transfer difference (STD) NMR spectroscopy to identify ligands of ThiT. This is the first report in which DCC is used for fragment growing to an ill-defined pocket, and one of the first reports for its application with an integral membrane protein as target.

Substrate-induced conformational changes in the S-component ThiT from an energy coupling factor transporter.
Energy coupling factor (ECF) transporters are a recently discovered class of ABC transporters that mediate vitamin uptake in prokaryotes. Characteristic for ECF-type ABC transporters are small integral membrane proteins (S-components) that bind the transported substrates with high affinity. S-components associate with a second membrane protein (EcfT) and two peripheral ATPases to form a complet...
متن کاملSpectrophotometric Determination of Acidity Constants of Thiamine in Water, Water-Triton X-100 Micellar Media Solutions
In this work the acidity constants of Thiamine in water and water-Triton X-100 micelle media solutions, at 25 °C, have been determined spectrophotometrically. To evaluate the pH- absorbance data, a resolution based on the combination of soft-and hard-modeling is applied. The acidity constants of all related equilibria are estimated using the whole spectral fitting of the collected data to a...
متن کاملBoth thiamine uptake and biosynthesis of thiamine precursors are required for intracellular replication of Listeria monocytogenes.
Thiamine pyrophosphate is an essential cofactor involved in central metabolism and amino acid biosynthesis and is derived from thiamine (vitamin B(1)). The extent to which this metabolite is available to bacterial pathogens replicating within host cells is still little understood. Growth studies using modified minimal Welshimer's broth (mMWB) supplemented with thiamine or the thiamine precursor...
متن کاملCrystal Structure of a Group I Energy Coupling Factor Vitamin Transporter S Component in Complex with Its Cognate Substrate
Energy coupling factor (ECF) transporters are responsible for the uptake of essential scarce nutrients in prokaryotes. This ATP-binding cassette transporter family comprises two subgroups that share a common architecture forming a tripartite membrane protein complex consisting of a translocation component and ATP hydrolyzing module and a substrate-capture (S) component. Here, we present the cry...

Thiamine hydrochloride (Vitamin-B1) has been utilized as an effective biodegradable catalyst for the one pot synthesis of polyhydroquinoline derivatives via four component reaction of dimedone, aldehyde, ethylacetoacetate and ammonium acetate in ethanol under mild conditions. The method presented here offers several advantages over reported procedures in terms of environmentally benign catalyti...
