Selectivity of TMC207 towards Mycobacterial ATP Synthase Compared with That towards the Eukaryotic Homologue

TL;DR: Results suggest that TMC207 may not elicit ATP synthesis-related toxicity in mammalian cells, and ATP synthase, although highly conserved between prokaryotes and eukaryotes, may still qualify as an attractive antibiotic target.
Journal ArticleDOI

Probing the interaction of the diarylquinoline TMC207 with its target mycobacterial ATP synthase.

TL;DR: The results are consistent with previous docking studies and provide experimental support for a predicted function of TMC207 in mimicking key residues in the proton transfer chain and blocking rotary movement of subunit c during catalysis.
Journal ArticleDOI

ATP synthase in slow- and fast-growing mycobacteria is active in ATP synthesis and blocked in ATP hydrolysis direction.

TL;DR: It is shown that inverted membrane vesicles from the slow-growing model strain Mycobacterium bovis BCG are active in ATP synthesis, but ATP synthase displays no detectable ATP hydrolysis activity and does not set up a proton-motive force (PMF) using ATP as a substrate.
Journal ArticleDOI

Pyrazinoic Acid Decreases the Proton Motive Force, Respiratory ATP Synthesis Activity, and Cellular ATP Levels

TL;DR: Results indicate that the predominant mechanism of killing by the first-line antituberculosis drug pyrazinamide may operate by depletion of cellular ATP reserves.
Journal ArticleDOI

Craspase is a CRISPR RNA-guided, RNA-activated protease

TL;DR: Cryo-electron microscopy snapshots of Craspase are used to explain its target RNA cleavage and protease activation mechanisms and it is concluded that Craspases is a target RNA-activated protease with self-regulatory capacity.
