The AMR crisis calls for the development of new antibiotics. In this study, bio-affinity ultrafiltration combined with HPLC-MS was used to examine the interaction between outer membrane proteins and natural products. The results showed that licochalcone A from licorice interacts with BamA and BamD with good affinity, and it has the potential to be used as a sensitizer to combat AMR.
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) crisis urges the development of new antibiotics. In the present work, we for the first time used bio-affinity ultrafiltration combined with HPLC-MS (UF-HPLC-MS) to examine the interaction between the outer membrane 13-barrel proteins and natural products. Our results showed that natural product licochalcone A from licorice interacts with BamA and BamD with the enrichment factor of 6.38 +/- 1.46 and 4.80 +/- 1.23, respectively. The interaction was further confirmed by use of biacore analysis, which demonstrated that the Kd value between BamA/D and licochalcone was 6.63/28.27 mu M, suggesting a good affinity. To examine the effect of licochalcone A on BamA/D function, the developed versatile in vitro reconstitution assay was used and the results showed that 128 mu g/mL licochalcone A could reduce the outer membrane protein A integration efficiency to 20%. Although licochalcone A alone can not inhibit the growth of E. coli, but it can affect the membrane permeability, suggesting that lico-chalcone A holds the potential to be used as a sensitizer to combat AMR.(c) 2023 Elsevier Inc.
