Targeting the ATP synthase in bacterial and fungal pathogens: beyond Mycobacterium tuberculosis

Martin Vestergaard et al.

Summary: The ATP synthase plays a crucial role in bacteria metabolism and viability. The dependence on ATP synthase varies among different bacterial pathogens. Currently, there are approved ATP synthase inhibitors for treating tuberculosis, but no inhibitors are available for non-mycobacterial pathogens.

Atomic solution structure of Mycobacterium abscessus F-ATP synthase subunit ε and identification of Ep1MabF1 as a targeted inhibitor

Joon Shin et al.

Summary: Mycobacterium abscessus (Mab) is a clinically relevant nontuberculous mycobacterium that is intrinsically multi-drug-resistant, causing difficult-to-cure lung disease. Structural and dynamic studies of the Mab epsilon subunit reveal insights into the coupling process within the protein, highlighting the potential for development of novel antimycobacterial compounds. Evaluation of the inhibitor Ep1MabF1 demonstrates its effectiveness in inhibiting Mab growth and bacterial ATP synthesis.

Evolution of the Inhibitory and Non-Inhibitory ε, ζ, If1 and Subunits of the F1FO-ATPase as Related to the Endosymbiotic Origin of Mitochondria

Francisco Mendoza-Hoffmann et al.

Summary: This study analyzes the evolution of the F1FO-ATPase inhibitory proteins. Results show that various inhibitory proteins have emerged in bacteria, mitochondria, and chloroplasts to selectively block the activity of F1FO-ATPase. The loss of inhibitory function and ATP-binding site correlates with the evolutionary divergence of different subunits. The zeta subunit has replaced epsilon as the primary inhibitor in free-living bacteria, but its inhibitory function is partially or completely lost in some symbiotic and parasitic bacteria.

Structural Elements Involved in ATP Hydrolysis Inhibition and ATP Synthesis of Tuberculosis and Nontuberculous Mycobacterial F-ATP Synthase Decipher New Targets for Inhibitors

Chui Fann Wong et al.

Summary: The F1FO-ATP synthase is essential for the survival of tuberculosis and nontuberculous mycobacteria and has been confirmed as a potential drug target. Cryo-EM structures of Mycobacterium smegmatis F-1-ATPase and F1FO-ATP synthase with different nucleotide occupancy were determined, revealing critical elements for ATP hydrolysis and synthesis. Mutational studies identified the extended C-terminal domain of subunit alpha as the main element for the self-inhibition mechanism of ATP hydrolysis. Rotation studies showed a rapid transition from the inhibition state to the active state. The mycobacterial-specific elements alpha, gamma, and delta were found to be important for ATP formation, suggesting they could be targeted for species-specific inhibitors.

A systematic assessment of mycobacterial F1-ATPase subunit ε's role in latent ATPase hydrolysis

Chui-Fann Wong et al.

Summary: The mycobacterial F1FO-ATP synthase behaves differently from most bacteria due to the lack of ATP hydrolysis-driven proton translocation. Research on the central stalk subunit e has revealed its role in suppressing the enzyme's ATPase activity, providing insights for developing inhibitors targeting this subunit. By studying mutations at both the N-terminal and C-terminal of subunit epsilon, key residues important for the enzyme's function have been identified, paving the way for potential drug development targeting the F-ATP synthase.

A high-throughput genetically directed protein crosslinking analysis reveals the physiological relevance of the ATP synthase 'inserted' state

Yang Liu et al.

Summary: ATP synthase is a highly conserved protein complex that supplies energy to living organisms. Studies have shown that structural changes in the epsilon-subunit of the protein complex significantly impact bacterial ATP synthase under energetically stressful conditions. A high-throughput in vivo protein photo-cross-linking analysis pipeline revealed the ability of bacterial ATP synthase to rapidly switch between two functional states in response to changing environmental conditions.

Structure of mycobacterial ATP synthase bound to the tuberculosis drug bedaquiline

Hui Guo et al.

Summary: The study of the ATP synthase structures in Mycobacterium smegmatis has provided insights into how the enzyme conserves energy through autoinhibition of ATP hydrolysis and the mechanism of action of the drug bedaquiline used in treating multidrug-resistant tuberculosis. Tuberculosis, caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis, is increasingly resistant to first-line antibiotics, allowing infections to remain dormant and decreasing susceptibility to many antibiotics. Bedaquiline, developed from a lead compound identified in a screen against Mycobacterium smegmatis, targets the mycobacterial ATP synthase and is a cornerstone in the treatment of multidrug-resistant and extensively drug-resistant tuberculosis.

Targeting Mycobacterial F-ATP Synthase C-Terminal α Subunit Interaction Motif on Rotary Subunit γ

Amaravadhi Harikishore et al.

Summary: Recent studies have shown that mycobacteria regulate their ATP levels by slowing down respiratory rate and blocking ATP hydrolysis of the F-ATP synthase, with the alpha 533-545 region identified as a major regulator. The alpha 533-545 motif has been found to inhibit rotary coupling with ATP synthesis by docking deep into subunit gamma of the enzyme.

Acinetobacter baumannii Antibiotic Resistance Mechanisms

Ioannis Kyriakidis et al.

Summary: Acinetobacter baumannii is a Gram-negative ESKAPE microorganism that poses a threat to public health due to severe and invasive infections, often nosocomial, with high mortality rates. The pathogen has displayed multidrug resistance, mainly due to extensive antibiotic use and poor stewardship. Next-generation sequencing has improved diagnosis of A. baumannii infections, leading to personalized therapeutic regimens based on resistance gene identification, while the genetic background of resistance mechanisms and virulence factors are being extensively studied.
