The inhibition of cysteine biosynthesis in prokaryotes and protozoa has been proposed to be relevant for the development of antibiotics. Haemophilus influenzae O-acetylserine sulfhydrylase (OASS), catalyzing L-cysteine formation, is inhibited by the insertion of the C-terminal pentapeptide (MNLNI) of serine acetyltransferase into the active site. Four-hundred MNXXI pentapeptides were generated in silico, docked into OASS active site using GOLD, and scored with HINT. The terminal 135 Ile accounts for about 50% of the binding energy. Glu or Asp at position P4 and, to it lesser extent, at position P3 also significantly contribute to the binding interaction. The predicted affinity of 14 selected pentapeptides correlated well with the experimentally determined dissociation constants. The X-ray structure of three high affinity pentapeptide-OASS complexes were compared with the docked poses. These results, combined with a GRID analysis of the active site, allowed LIS to define a pharmacophoric scaffold for the design of peptidomimetic inhibitors.
