Summary: | DprE2 is an essential enzyme in the synthesis of decaprenylphosphoryl-β-d-arabinofuranose (DPA) and subsequently arabinogalactan, and is a significant new drug target for
. Two compounds from the GSK-177 box set, GSK301A and GSK032A, were identified through
-DprE2-target overexpression studies. The
-DprE1-DprE2 complex was co-purified and a new
DprE2 assay developed, based on the oxidation of the reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide cofactor of DprE2 (NADH/NADPH). The
-DprE1-DprE2 complex showed interesting kinetics in both the DprE1 resazurin-based assay, where
-DprE2 was found to enhance
-DprE1 activity and reduce substrate inhibition; and also in the DprE2 assay, which similarly exhibited substrate inhibition and a difference in kinetics of the two potential cofactors, NADH and NADPH. Although, no inhibition was observed in the DprE2 assay by the two GSK set compounds, spontaneous mutant generation indicated a possible explanation in the form of a pro-drug activation pathway, involving
and
