Alkyl-Resorcinol Derivatives as Inhibitors of GDP-Mannose Pyrophosphorylase with Antileishmanial Activities

Helene Levaique et al.

Summary: Leishmaniasis is a vector-borne disease caused by the protozoan parasite Leishmania found in tropical and sub-tropical areas, affecting 12 million people worldwide. Limited treatments for this disease have toxicity and resistance issues. A study identified a compound active against GDP-MPs, prompting the need for further optimization to improve its antileishmanial activity.

Cryo-EM structures of human GMPPA-GMPPB complex reveal how cells maintain GDP-mannose homeostasis

Lvqin Zheng et al.

Summary: The structural elucidation and functional analysis of the human GMPPA-GMPPB complex demonstrates how GMPPA acts as a 'sensor' to regulate GMPPB activity and maintain cellular GDP-mannose homeostasis through allosteric mechanisms. This study reveals that GMPPA has a higher affinity to GDP-mannose compared to GMPPB, and can inhibit the catalytic activity of GMPPB. Disruption of GMPPA-GMPPB interactions or GDP-mannose binding to GMPPA leads to abnormal development phenotypes in zebrafish, similar to individuals with GMPPA or GMPPB mutations.
