摘要: We have obtained the structure of bacterial diterpene synthase, tuberculosinol/iso-tuberculosinol synthase (Rv3378c) from Mycobacterium tuberculosis, a target for anti-infective therapies that block virulence factor formation. This phosphatase adopts same fold as found in Z- or cis-prenyltransferases. also structures containing tuberculosinyl diphosphate substrate together with one bisphosphonate inhibitor-bound structure. These results site-directed mutagenesis suggest an unusual mechanism action involving two Tyr residues. Given similarity local and global between Rv3378c M. tuberculosis cis-decaprenyl (DPPS; Rv2361c), possibility exists development inhibitors not only but cell wall biosynthesis, based part on reported here.
