    Abstract The O-acetylation of the muramic acid residues in peptidoglycan (PG) is a modification that protects the bacteria from lysis due to the action of lysozyme. In Gram-negative bacteria, deacetylation is required to allow lytic transglycosylases to promote PG cleavage during cell growth and division. This deacetylation is catalyzed by O-acetylpeptidoglycan esterase (Ape) which is a serine esterase and employs covalent catalysis via a serine-linked acyl enzyme intermediate. Loss of Ape activity affects the size and shape of bacteria and dramatically reduces virulence. In this work, we report the first rationally designed aldehyde-based inhibitors of Ape from Campylobacter jejuni. The most potent of these acts as a competitive inhibitor with a K

    Abstract A number of species within the Fusobacteriaceae family of Gram-negative bacteria uniquely encode for an ornithine decarboxylase/arginase (ODA) that ostensibly channels l-ornithine generated by hydrolysis of l-arginine to putrescine formation. However, two aspartate residues required for coordination to a catalytically obligatory manganese cluster of arginases are substituted for a serine and an asparagine. Curiously, these natural substitutions occur only in a clade of Fusobacterium species that inhabit the oral cavity. Herein, we expressed and isolated full-length ODA from the opportunistic oral pathogen Fusobacterium nucleatum along with the individual arginase and ornithine decarboxylase components. The crystal structure of the arginase domain reveals that it adopts the classical α/β arginase-fold, but metal ions are absent in the active site. As expected, the ureohydrolase activity with l-arginine was not detected for wild-type ODA or the isolated arginase domain. However, engineering of the complete metal coordination environment through site-directed mutagenesis restored Mn²⁺ binding capacity and arginase activity, although the catalytic efficiency for l-arginine was low (60–100 M–¹ s–¹). Full-length ODA and the isolated ODC component were able to decarboxylate both l-ornithine and l-arginine to form putrescine and agmatine, respectively, but kcₐₜ/KM of l-ornithine was ∼20-fold higher compared to l-arginine. We discuss environmental conditions that may have led to the natural selection of an inactive arginase in the oral associated species of Fusobacterium.

    Abstract Serotonergic medications are used for the prevention and treatment of depression during pregnancy. Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors and serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs) can cause poor neonatal adaptation, which has been attributed to withdrawal versus toxicity. Bupropion, a norepinephrine-dopamine reuptake inhibitor, is often used as an adjunctive agent to selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors or SNRIs for refractory depression. Quetiapine, an atypical antipsychotic, may also be used in more complex cases. When combined with serotonergic drugs, bupropion and quetiapine are associated with increased risk of serotonin syndrome in adults. We describe a neonate exposed to venlafaxine (an SNRI), bupropion, and quetiapine in utero who presented nearly immediately after birth with encephalopathy and abnormal movements. The severity and rapidity of symptoms may be attributable to potentiation of venlafaxine's serotonergic effects by bupropion and quetiapine. Neonatal providers should be aware of maternal medications and prepare for possible adverse effects, particularly from common psychotropic exposures.
