NMR Detected Hydrogen-Deuterium Exchange Reveals Differential Dynamics of Antibiotic and Nucleotide Bound Aminoglycoside Phosphotransferase 3′-IIIa Adrianne Norris Department of Biochemistry, Cellular and Molecular Biology Thesis Advisor: Dr. Engin Serpersu
Mechanism of Action + ribosome Aminoglycoside Kanamycins Translation Inhibited Cell death Neomycins Introduction: Aminoglycoside Antibiotics • Broad spectrum • Meningitis • Tuberculosis • Diverse size/structure
OPO3 APH ATP ADP Introduction: Antibiotic Resistance • Enzyme catalyzed covalent modification • Aminoglycoside Phosphotransferase (3′)-IIIa (APH) • targets at least 10 different aminoglycosides of various size/structure
Obtain a better understanding of protein-antibiotic interactions More intelligent foundation for drug design to combat resistance Research Goals • How is APH so promiscuous? • How is APH affected when interacting with different antibiotics?
How is APH so promiscuous? Front Back Need structural information in solution to determine the mechanism of broad substrate selectivity – NMR! No significant change in structure from apo to antibiotic bound?
How is APH so promiscuous? Apo: ~20hrs in D2O Apo: H2O NMR detected Hydrogen-Deuterium Exchange = In solution dynamics Conclusion: Flexibility of APH allows modification of structurally diverse antibiotics.
How is APH so promiscuous? APH-Antibiotic Apo-APH Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) Suggests: A flexible apo-enzyme is the secret!
How is APH affected when interacting with different antibiotics? Back Front Kanamycin Little change in XL structures of APH-neomycin and APH-kanamycin complexes. Neomycin
How is APH affected when interacting with different antibiotics? NMR Kanamycin Neomycin > 40 amino acids with different environments
How is APH affected when interacting with different antibiotics? Kanamycin Neomycin NMR Hydrogen-Deuterium Exchange Neomycin induces greater solvent protection of APH than kanamycin.
How is APH affected when interacting with different antibiotics? antibiotic nucleotide Green: Different Chemical Environment Yellow: Different Solvent Exchange Properties Conclusion: Neomycin Induces Greater Structural/Dynamic Stability than Kanamycin
Summary Future Directions • Neutron scattering experiments to determine differences in the radii of gyration of APH in various complexes – complementary to NMR • Application of this type of analysis for AAC, aminoglycoside acetyltransferase • Testing of synthetic inhibitor molecules. • The broad substrate selectivity of APH is due to structural flexibility. • Neomycin creates greater stability in APH than kanamycin
