    Abstract Lipoic acid is an essential cofactor produced in all organisms by diverting octanoic acid derived as an intermediate of type II fatty acid biosynthesis. In bacteria, octanoic acid is transferred from the acyl carrier protein (ACP) to the lipoylated target protein by the octanoyltransferase LipB. LipB has a well-documented substrate selectivity, indicating a mechanism of octanoic acid recognition. The present study reveals the precise protein-protein interactions (PPIs) responsible for this selectivity in

    Abstract The SARS-CoV-2 pandemic has rapidly spread across the globe, posing an urgent health concern. Many quests to computationally identify treatments against the virus rely on in silico small molecule docking to experimentally determined structures of viral proteins. One limit to these approaches is that protein dynamics are often unaccounted for, leading to overlooking transient, druggable conformational states. Using Gaussian accelerated molecular dynamics to enhance sampling of conformational space, we identified cryptic pockets within the SARS-CoV-2 main protease, including some within regions far from the active site and assed their druggability. These pockets can aid in virtual screening efforts to identify a protease inhibitor for the treatment of COVID-19.

    Abstract Carrier-protein-dependent metabolic pathways biosynthesize fatty acids, polyketides, and non-ribosomal peptides, producing metabolites with important pharmaceutical, environmental, and industrial properties. Recent findings demonstrate that these pathways rely on selective communication mechanisms involving protein-protein interactions (PPIs) that guide enzyme reactivity and timing. While rational design of these PPIs could enable pathway design and modification, this goal remains a challenge due to the complex nature of protein interfaces. Computational methods offer an encouraging avenue, though many score functions fail to predict experimental observables, leading to low success rates. Here, we improve upon the Rosetta score function, leveraging experimental data through iterative rounds of computational prediction and mutagenesis, to design a hybrid fatty acid-non-ribosomal peptide initiation pathway. By increasing the weight of the electrostatic score term, the computational protocol proved to be more predictive, requiring fewer rounds of iteration to identify mutants with high in vitro activity. This allowed efficient design of new PPIs between a non-ribosomal peptide synthetase adenylation domain, PltF, and a fatty acid synthase acyl carrier protein, AcpP, as validated by activity and structural studies. This method provides a promising platform for customized pathway design, establishing a standard for carrier-protein-dependent pathway engineering through PPI optimization.

    Abstract Fatty acid biosynthesis (FAB) is an essential and highly conserved metabolic pathway. In bacteria, this process is mediated by an elaborate network of protein•protein interactions (PPIs) involving a small, dynamic acyl carrier protein that interacts with dozens of other partner proteins (PPs). These PPIs have remained poorly characterized due to their dynamic and transient nature. Using a combination of solution-phase NMR spectroscopy and protein-protein docking simulations, we report a comprehensive residue-by-residue comparison of the PPIs formed during FAB in Escherichia coli. This technique describes and compares the molecular basis of six discrete binding events responsible for E. coli FAB and offers insights into a method to characterize these events and those in related carrier protein-dependent pathways.

    Abstract Acyl carrier proteins (ACP)s transport intermediates through many primary and secondary metabolic pathways. Studying the effect of substrate identity on ACP structure has been hindered by the lability of the thioester bond that attaches acyl substrates to the 4′-phosphopantetheine cofactor of ACP. Here we show that an acyl acyl-carrier protein synthetase (AasS) can be used in real time to shift the hydrolysis equilibrium toward favoring acyl-ACP during solution NMR spectroscopy. Only 0.005 molar equivalents of AasS enables 1 week of stability to palmitoyl-AcpP from Escherichia coli. 2D NMR spectra enabled with this method revealed that the tethered palmitic acid perturbs nearly every secondary structural region of AcpP. This technique will allow previously unachievable structural studies of unstable acyl-ACP species, contributing to the understanding of these complex biosynthetic pathways.
