DFT/TDDFT calculations of geometry optimization, electronic structure and spectral properties of clevudine and telbivudine for treatment of chronic hepatitis B.

Chronic hepatitis B remains a worldwide health concern. Presently, many drugs, such as Clevudine and Telbivudine, are recommended for the treatment of chronic hepatitis B disease. For this purpose, the quantum chemical analysis of ELUMO-HOMO (Egap), ionization potential (IP), electron affinity (EA), electronegativity (EN), chemical hardness (η), chemical potential (µ), chemical softness (S), electrophilicity index (ω), electron accepting capability (ω+), electron-donating capability (ω-), Nucleophilicity index (N), additional electronic charge (∆Nmax), Optical softness (σ0) and Dipole Moment, IR and UV-Vis spectra, molecular electrostatic potential (MEP) profile, Mulliken charge analysis, natural bond orbital (NBO) were examined in this study. The dipole moment of the compounds suggests their binding pose and predicted binding affinity. The electrophilic and nucleophilic regions were identified, and techniques such as NBO, UV-Vis, and IR were used to gain insights into the molecular structure, electronic transitions, and potential drug design for Hepatitis B treatment. Calculations for this study were carried out using the Gaussian 09 program package coupled with the DFT/TDDFT technique. The hybrid B3LYP functional method and the 6-311++G(d, p) basis set were used for the calculations.

The molecular basis of Abelson kinase regulation by its αI-helix.

Abelson tyrosine kinase (Abl) is regulated by the arrangement of its regulatory core, consisting sequentially of the SH3, SH2, and kinase (KD) domains, where an assembled or disassembled core corresponds to low or high kinase activity, respectively. It was recently established that binding of type II ATP site inhibitors, such as imatinib, generates a force from the KD N-lobe onto the SH3 domain and in consequence disassembles the core. Here, we demonstrate that the C-terminal αI-helix exerts an additional force toward the SH2 domain, which correlates both with kinase activity and type II inhibitor-induced disassembly. The αI-helix mutation E528K, which is responsible for the ABL1 malformation syndrome, strongly activates Abl by breaking a salt bridge with the KD C-lobe and thereby increasing the force onto the SH2 domain. In contrast, the allosteric inhibitor asciminib strongly reduces Abl's activity by fixating the αI-helix and reducing the force onto the SH2 domain. These observations are explained by a simple mechanical model of Abl activation involving forces from the KD N-lobe and the αI-helix onto the KD/SH2SH3 interface.

Transient interdomain interactions in free USP14 shape its conformational ensemble.

The deubiquitinase (DUB) ubiquitin-specific protease 14 (USP14) is a dual domain protein that plays a regulatory role in proteasomal degradation and has been identified as a promising therapeutic target. USP14 comprises a conserved USP domain and a ubiquitin-like (Ubl) domain separated by a 25-residue linker. The enzyme activity of USP14 is autoinhibited in solution, but is enhanced when bound to the proteasome, where the Ubl and USP domains of USP14 bind to the Rpn1 and Rpt1/Rpt2 units, respectively. No structure of full-length USP14 in the absence of proteasome has yet been presented, however, earlier work has described how transient interactions between Ubl and USP domains in USP4 and USP7 regulate DUB activity. To better understand the roles of the Ubl and USP domains in USP14, we studied the Ubl domain alone and in full-length USP14 by nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy and used small angle x-ray scattering and molecular modeling to visualize the entire USP14 protein ensemble. Jointly, our results show how transient interdomain interactions between the Ubl and USP domains of USP14 predispose its conformational ensemble for proteasome binding, which may have functional implications for proteasome regulation and may be exploited in the design of future USP14 inhibitors.

The structure, self-assembly and dynamics of lipid nanodiscs revealed by computational approaches.

Nanodisc technology is increasingly being used in structural, biochemical and biophysical studies of membrane proteins. The computational approaches have revealed many important features of nanodisc assembly, structures and dynamics. Therefore, we reviewed the application of computational approaches, especially molecular modeling and molecular dyncamics (MD) simulations, to characterize nanodiscs, including the structural models, assembly and disassembly, protocols for modeling, structural properties and dynamics, and protein-lipid interactions in nanodiscs. More amazing computational studies about nanodiscs are looked forward to in the future.

Metabolic Investigation and Auxiliary Enzyme Modelization of the Pyrrocidine Pathway Allow Rationalization of Paracyclophane-Decahydrofluorene Formation.

Fungal paracyclophane-decahydrofluorene-containing natural products are complex polycyclic metabolites derived from similar hybrid PKS-NRPS pathways. Herein we studied the biosynthesis of pyrrocidines, one representative of this family, by gene inactivation in the producer Sarocladium zeae coupled to thorough metabolic analysis and molecular modeling of key enzymes. We characterized nine pyrrocidines and analogues as well as in mutants a variety of accumulating metabolites with new structures including rare cis-decalin, cytochalasan, and fused 6/15/5 macrocycles. This diversity highlights the extraordinary plasticity of the pyrrocidine biosynthetic gene cluster. From accumulating metabolites, we delineated the scenario of pyrrocidine biosynthesis. The ring A of the decahydrofluorene is installed by PrcB, a membrane-bound cyclizing isomerase, on a PKS-NRPS-derived pyrrolidone precursor. Docking experiments in PrcB allowed us to characterize the active site suggesting a mechanism triggered by arginine-mediated deprotonation at the terminal methyl of the substrate. Next, two integral membrane proteins, PrcD and PrcE, each predicted as a four-helix bundle, perform hydroxylation of the pyrrolidone ring and paracyclophane formation, respectively. Modelization of PrcE highlights a topological homology with vitamin K oxido-reductase and the presence of a disulfide bond. Our results suggest a previously unsuspected coupling mechanism via a transient loss of aromaticity of tyrosine residue to form the strained paracyclophane motif. Finally, the lipocalin-like protein PrcX drives the exo-cycloaddition yielding ring B and C of the decahydrofluorene to afford pyrrocidine A, which is transformed by a reductase PrcI to form pyrrocidine B. These insights will greatly facilitate the microbial production of pyrrocidine analogues by synthetic biology.

DNA binding reveals hidden interdomain allostery of a MazE antitoxin from Mycobacterium tuberculosis.

Type II toxin-antitoxin (TA) systems are ubiquitously distributed genetic elements in prokaryotes and are crucial for cell maintenance and survival under environmental stresses. The antitoxin is a modular protein consisting of the disordered C-terminal region that physically contacts and neutralizes the cognate toxin and the well-folded N-terminal DNA binding domain responsible for autorepression of TA transcription. However, how the two functional domains communicate is largely unknown. Herein, we determined the crystal structure of the N-terminal domain of the type II antitoxin MazE-mt10 from Mycobacterium tuberculosis, revealing a homodimer of the ribbon-helix-helix (RHH) fold with distinct DNA binding specificity. NMR studies demonstrated that full-length MazE-mt10 forms the helical and coiled states in equilibrium within the C-terminal region, and that helical propensity is allosterically enhanced by the N-terminal binding to the cognate operator DNA. This coil-to-helix transition may promote toxin binding/neutralization of MazE-mt10 and further stabilize the TA-DNA transcription repressor. This is supported by many crystal structures of type II TA complexes in which antitoxins form an α-helical structure at the TA interface. The hidden helical state of free MazE-mt10 in solution, favored by DNA binding, adds a new dimension to the regulatory mechanism of type II TA systems. Furthermore, complementary approaches using X-ray crystallography and NMR allow us to study the allosteric interdomain interplay of many other full-length antitoxins of type II TA systems.

Synthesis, crystal structure and in-silico evaluation of arylsulfonamide Schiff bases for potential activity against colon cancer.

This report presents a comprehensive investigation into the synthesis and characterization of Schiff base compounds derived from benzenesulfonamide. The synthesis process, involved the reaction between N-cycloamino-2-sulfanilamide and various substituted o-salicylaldehydes, resulted in a set of compounds that were subjected to rigorous characterization using advanced spectral techniques, including 1H NMR, 13C NMR and FT-IR spectroscopy, and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Furthermore, an in-depth assessment of the synthesized compounds was conducted through Absorption, Distribution, Metabolism, Excretion and Toxicity (ADMET) analysis, in conjunction with docking studies, to elucidate their pharmacokinetic profiles and potential. Impressively, the ADMET analysis showcased encouraging drug-likeness properties of the newly synthesized Schiff bases. These computational findings were substantiated by molecular properties derived from density functional theory (DFT) calculations using the B3LYP/6-31G* method within the Jaguar Module of Schrödinger 2023-2 from Maestro (Schrodinger LLC, New York, USA). The exploration of frontier molecular orbitals (HOMO and LUMO) enabled the computation of global reactivity descriptors (GRDs), encompassing charge separation (Egap) and global softness (S). Notably, within this analysis, one Schiff base, namely, 4-bromo-2-{N-[2-(pyrrolidine-1-sulfonyl)phenyl]carboximidoyl}phenol, 20, emerged with the smallest charge separation (ΔEgap = 3.5780 eV), signifying heightened potential for biological properties. Conversely, 4-bromo-2-{N-[2-(piperidine-1-sulfonyl)phenyl]carboximidoyl}phenol, 17, exhibited the largest charge separation (ΔEgap = 4.9242 eV), implying a relatively lower propensity for biological activity. Moreover, the synthesized Schiff bases displayed remarkeable inhibition of tankyrase poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase enzymes, integral in colon cancer, surpassing the efficacy of a standard drug used for the same purpose. Additionally, their bioavailability scores aligned closely with established medications such as trifluridine and 5-fluorouracil. The exploration of molecular electrostatic potential through colour mapping delved into the electronic behaviour and reactivity tendencies intrinsic to this diverse range of molecules.

DNA binding analysis of rare variants in homeodomains reveals homeodomain specificity-determining residues.

Homeodomains (HDs) are the second largest class of DNA binding domains (DBDs) among eukaryotic sequence-specific transcription factors (TFs) and are the TF structural class with the largest number of disease-associated mutations in the Human Gene Mutation Database (HGMD). Despite numerous structural studies and large-scale analyses of HD DNA binding specificity, HD-DNA recognition is still not fully understood. Here, we analyze 92 human HD mutants, including disease-associated variants and variants of uncertain significance (VUS), for their effects on DNA binding activity. Many of the variants alter DNA binding affinity and/or specificity. Detailed biochemical analysis and structural modeling identifies 14 previously unknown specificity-determining positions, 5 of which do not contact DNA. The same missense substitution at analogous positions within different HDs often exhibits different effects on DNA binding activity. Variant effect prediction tools perform moderately well in distinguishing variants with altered DNA binding affinity, but poorly in identifying those with altered binding specificity. Our results highlight the need for biochemical assays of TF coding variants and prioritize dozens of variants for further investigations into their pathogenicity and the development of clinical diagnostics and precision therapies.

Emergence of fractal geometries in the evolution of a metabolic enzyme.

Fractals are patterns that are self-similar across multiple length-scales1. Macroscopic fractals are common in nature2-4; however, so far, molecular assembly into fractals is restricted to synthetic systems5-12. Here we report the discovery of a natural protein, citrate synthase from the cyanobacterium Synechococcus elongatus, which self-assembles into Sierpinski triangles. Using cryo-electron microscopy, we reveal how the fractal assembles from a hexameric building block. Although different stimuli modulate the formation of fractal complexes and these complexes can regulate the enzymatic activity of citrate synthase in vitro, the fractal may not serve a physiological function in vivo. We use ancestral sequence reconstruction to retrace how the citrate synthase fractal evolved from non-fractal precursors, and the results suggest it may have emerged as a harmless evolutionary accident. Our findings expand the space of possible protein complexes and demonstrate that intricate and regulatable assemblies can evolve in a single substitution.

Independent Mutation of Two Bridging Carboxylate Ligands Stabilizes Alternate Conformers of the Photosynthetic O2-Evolving Mn4CaO5 Cluster in Photosystem II.

The O2-evolving Mn4CaO5 cluster in photosystem II is ligated by six carboxylate residues. One of these is D170 of the D1 subunit. This carboxylate bridges between one Mn ion (Mn4) and the Ca ion. A second carboxylate ligand is D342 of the D1 subunit. This carboxylate bridges between two Mn ions (Mn1 and Mn2). D170 and D342 are located on opposite sides of the Mn4CaO5 cluster. Recently, it was shown that the D170E mutation perturbs both the intricate networks of H-bonds that surround the Mn4CaO5 cluster and the equilibrium between different conformers of the cluster in two of its lower oxidation states, S1 and S2, while still supporting O2 evolution at approximately 50% the rate of the wild type. In this study, we show that the D342E mutation produces much the same alterations to the cluster's FTIR and EPR spectra as D170E, while still supporting O2 evolution at approximately 20% the rate of the wild type. Furthermore, the double mutation, D170E + D342E, behaves similarly to the two single mutations. We conclude that D342E alters the equilibrium between different conformers of the cluster in its S1 and S2 states in the same manner as D170E and perturbs the H-bond networks in a similar fashion. This is the second identification of a Mn4CaO5 metal ligand whose mutation influences the equilibrium between the different conformers of the S1 and S2 states without eliminating O2 evolution. This finding has implications for our understanding of the mechanism of O2 formation in terms of catalytically active/inactive conformations of the Mn4CaO5 cluster in its lower oxidation states.

Structure-Based Protein Assembly Simulations Including Various Binding Sites and Conformations.

Many biological functions are mediated by large complexes formed by multiple proteins and other cellular macromolecules. Recent progress in experimental structure determination, as well as in integrative modeling and protein structure prediction using deep learning approaches, has resulted in a rapid increase in the number of solved multiprotein assemblies. However, the assembly process of large complexes from their components is much less well-studied. We introduce a rapid computational structure-based (SB) model, GoCa, that allows to follow the assembly process of large multiprotein complexes based on a known native structure. Beyond existing SB Go̅-type models, it distinguishes between intra- and intersubunit interactions, allowing us to include coupled folding and binding. It accounts automatically for the permutation of identical subunits in a complex and allows the definition of multiple minima (native) structures in the case of proteins that undergo global transitions during assembly. The model is successfully tested on several multiprotein complexes. The source code of the GoCa program including a tutorial is publicly available on Github: https://github.com/ZachariasLab/GoCa. We also provide a web source that allows users to quickly generate the necessary input files for a GoCa simulation: https://goca.t38webservices.nat.tum.de.

Mechanical activation opens a lipid-lined pore in OSCA ion channels.

OSCA/TMEM63 channels are the largest known family of mechanosensitive channels1-3, playing critical roles in plant4-7 and mammalian8,9 mechanotransduction. Here we determined 44 cryogenic electron microscopy structures of OSCA/TMEM63 channels in different environments to investigate the molecular basis of OSCA/TMEM63 channel mechanosensitivity. In nanodiscs, we mimicked increased membrane tension and observed a dilated pore with membrane access in one of the OSCA1.2 subunits. In liposomes, we captured the fully open structure of OSCA1.2 in the inside-in orientation, in which the pore shows a large lateral opening to the membrane. Unusually for ion channels, structural, functional and computational evidence supports the existence of a 'proteo-lipidic pore' in which lipids act as a wall of the ion permeation pathway. In the less tension-sensitive homologue OSCA3.1, we identified an 'interlocking' lipid tightly bound in the central cleft, keeping the channel closed. Mutation of the lipid-coordinating residues induced OSCA3.1 activation, revealing a conserved open conformation of OSCA channels. Our structures provide a global picture of the OSCA channel gating cycle, uncover the importance of bound lipids and show that each subunit can open independently. This expands both our understanding of channel-mediated mechanotransduction and channel pore formation, with important mechanistic implications for the TMEM16 and TMC protein families.

Molecular insights into capsular polysaccharide secretion.

Capsular polysaccharides (CPSs) fortify the cell boundaries of many commensal and pathogenic bacteria1. Through the ABC-transporter-dependent biosynthesis pathway, CPSs are synthesized intracellularly on a lipid anchor and secreted across the cell envelope by the KpsMT ABC transporter associated with the KpsE and KpsD subunits1,2. Here we use structural and functional studies to uncover crucial steps of CPS secretion in Gram-negative bacteria. We show that KpsMT has broad substrate specificity and is sufficient for the translocation of CPSs across the inner bacterial membrane, and we determine the cell surface organization and localization of CPSs using super-resolution fluorescence microscopy. Cryo-electron microscopy analyses of the KpsMT-KpsE complex in six different states reveal a KpsE-encaged ABC transporter, rigid-body conformational rearrangements of KpsMT during ATP hydrolysis and recognition of a glycolipid inside a membrane-exposed electropositive canyon. In vivo CPS secretion assays underscore the functional importance of canyon-lining basic residues. Combined, our analyses suggest a molecular model of CPS secretion by ABC transporters.

ALDELE: All-Purpose Deep Learning Toolkits for Predicting the Biocatalytic Activities of Enzymes.

Rapidly predicting enzyme properties for catalyzing specific substrates is essential for identifying potential enzymes for industrial transformations. The demand for sustainable production of valuable industry chemicals utilizing biological resources raised a pressing need to speed up biocatalyst screening using machine learning techniques. In this research, we developed an all-purpose deep-learning-based multiple-toolkit (ALDELE) workflow for screening enzyme catalysts. ALDELE incorporates both structural and sequence representations of proteins, alongside representations of ligands by subgraphs and overall physicochemical properties. Comprehensive evaluation demonstrated that ALDELE can predict the catalytic activities of enzymes, and particularly, it identifies residue-based hotspots to guide enzyme engineering and generates substrate heat maps to explore the substrate scope for a given biocatalyst. Moreover, our models notably match empirical data, reinforcing the practicality and reliability of our approach through the alignment with confirmed mutation sites. ALDELE offers a facile and comprehensive solution by integrating different toolkits tailored for different purposes at affordable computational cost and therefore would be valuable to speed up the discovery of new functional enzymes for their exploitation by the industry.

Toward More Selective Antibiotic Inhibitors: A Structural View of the Complexed Binding Pocket of E. coli Peptide Deformylase.

Peptide deformylase (PDF) is involved in bacterial protein maturation processes. Originating from the interest in a new antibiotic, tremendous effort was put into the refinement of PDF inhibitors (PDFIs) and their selectivity. We obtained a full NMR backbone assignment the emergent additional protein backbone resonances of ecPDF 1-147 in complex with 2-(5-bromo-1H-indol-3-yl)-N-hydroxyacetamide (2), a potential new structural scaffold for more selective PDFIs. We also determined the complex crystal structures of E. coli PDF (ecPDF fl) and 2. Our structure suggests an alternative ligand conformation within the protein, a possible starting point for further selectivity optimization. The orientation of the second ligand conformation in the crystal structure points toward a small region of the S1' pocket, which differs between bacterial PDFs and human PDF. Moreover, we analyzed the binding mode of 2 via NMR TITAN line shape analysis, revealing an induced fit mechanism.

Modeling Zinc Complexes Using Neural Networks.

Understanding the energetic landscapes of large molecules is necessary for the study of chemical and biological systems. Recently, deep learning has greatly accelerated the development of models based on quantum chemistry, making it possible to build potential energy surfaces and explore chemical space. However, most of this work has focused on organic molecules due to the simplicity of their electronic structures as well as the availability of data sets. In this work, we build a deep learning architecture to model the energetics of zinc organometallic complexes. To achieve this, we have compiled a configurationally and conformationally diverse data set of zinc complexes using metadynamics to overcome the limitations of traditional sampling methods. In terms of the neural network potentials, our results indicate that for zinc complexes, partial charges play an important role in modeling the long-range interactions with a neural network. Our developed model outperforms semiempirical methods in predicting the relative energy of zinc conformers, yielding a mean absolute error (MAE) of 1.32 kcal/mol with reference to the double-hybrid PWPB95 method.

High Charge Density in Peptide Dendrimers is Required to Destabilize Membranes: Insights into Endosome Evasion.

Peptide dendrimers are a type of branched, symmetric, and topologically well-defined molecule that have already been used as delivery systems for nucleic acid transfection. Several of the most promising sequences showed high efficiency in many key steps of transfection, namely, binding siRNA, entering cells, and evading the endosome. However, small changes to the peptide dendrimers, such as in the hydrophobic core, the amino acid chirality, or the total available charges, led to significantly different experimental results with unclear mechanistic insights. In this work, we built a computational model of several of those peptide dendrimers (MH18, MH13, and MH47) and some of their variants to study the molecular details of the structure and function of these molecules. We performed CpHMD simulations in the aqueous phase and in interaction with a lipid bilayer to assess how conformation and protonation are affected by pH in different environments. We found that while the different peptide dendrimer sequences lead to no substantial structural differences in the aqueous phase, the total charge and, more importantly, the total charge density are key for the capacity of the dendrimer to interact and destabilize the membrane. These dendrimers become highly charged when the pH changes from 7.5 to 4.5, and the presence of a high charge density, which is decreased for MH47 that has four fewer titratable lysines, is essential to trigger membrane destabilization. These findings are in excellent agreement with the experimental data and help us to understand the high efficiency of some dendrimers and why the dendrimer MH47 is unable to complete the transfection process. This evidence provides further understanding of the mode of action of these peptide dendrimers and will be pivotal for the future design of new sequences with improved transfection capabilities.

In vitro and in silico investigation of FDA-approved drugs to be repurposed against Alzheimer's disease.

Alzheimer's disease (AD), one of the main causes of dementia, is a neurodegenerative disorder. Cholinesterase inhibitors are used in the treatment of AD, but prolonged use of these drugs can lead to serious side effects. Drug repurposing is an approach that aims to reveal the effectiveness of drugs in different diseases beyond their clinical uses. In this work, we investigated in vitro and in silico inhibitory effects of 11 different drugs on cholinesterases. The results showed that trimebutine, theophylline, and levamisole had the highest acetylcholinesterase inhibitory actions among the tested drugs, and these drugs inhibited by 68.70 ± 0.46, 53.25 ± 3.40, and 44.03 ± 1.20%, respectively at 1000 µM. In addition, these drugs are bound to acetylcholinesterase via competitive manner. Molecular modeling predicted good fitness in acetylcholinesterase active site for these drugs and possible central nervous system action for trimebutine. All of these results demonstrated that trimebutine was determined to be the drug with the highest potential for use in AD.

Using atomistic solution scattering modelling to elucidate the role of the Fc glycans in human IgG4.

Human immunoglobulin G (IgG) exists as four subclasses IgG1-4, each of which has two Fab subunits joined by two hinges to a Fc subunit. IgG4 has the shortest hinge with 12 residues. The Fc subunit has two glycan chains, but the importance of glycosylation is not fully understood in IgG4. Here, to evaluate the stability and structure of non-glycosylated IgG4, we performed a multidisciplinary structural study of glycosylated and deglycosylated human IgG4 A33 for comparison with our similar study of human IgG1 A33. After deglycosylation, IgG4 was found to be monomeric by analytical ultracentrifugation; its sedimentation coefficient of 6.52 S was reduced by 0.27 S in reflection of its lower mass. X-ray and neutron solution scattering showed that the overall Guinier radius of gyration RG and its cross-sectional values after deglycosylation were almost unchanged. In the P(r) distance distribution curves, the two M1 and M2 peaks that monitor the two most common distances within IgG4 were unchanged following deglycosylation. Further insight from Monte Carlo simulations for glycosylated and deglycosylated IgG4 came from 111,382 and 117,135 possible structures respectively. Their comparison to the X-ray and neutron scattering curves identified several hundred best-fit models for both forms of IgG4. Principal component analyses showed that glycosylated and deglycosylated IgG4 exhibited different conformations from each other. Within the constraint of unchanged RG and M1-M2 values, the glycosylated IgG4 models showed more restricted Fc conformations compared to deglycosylated IgG4, but no other changes. Kratky plots supported this interpretation of greater disorder upon deglycosylation, also observed in IgG1. Overall, these more variable Fc conformations may demonstrate a generalisable impact of deglycosylation on Fc structures, but with no large conformational changes in IgG4 unlike those seen in IgG1.
