Specifically, certain host cell-derived enzymes, including lipases, can degrade the formulation excipient polysorbate (PS) in biopharmaceutical formulations, affecting drug product stability in liquid formulations. We leveraged multiomics approaches, including transcriptomics, proteomics, and activity-based protein profiling (ABPP), to identify mechanisms that regulate PS-degradative enzyme (PSDE) abundance and to develop strategies for their control. Comparative multiomics analysis of two monoclonal antibody (mAb)-producing host cell clones revealed differential lipase profiles at the mRNA, protein, and enzyme activity levels and associated increased lipase activity with upregulated lipid catabolic pathways such as the fatty acid beta oxidation pathway. Further, for the first time in the literature, we identified peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ (PPARγ) as a key regulator of PSDEs in manufacturing Chinese Hamster Ovary (CHO) cells. Downregulation of the PPARγ pathway with its antagonists resulted in a selective reduction of PSDE levels and improved PS stability without compromising mAb productivity or quality. This study highlights the potential of PPARγ modulators as chemical tools for PSDE control at the gene regulation level, offering significant implications for biopharmaceutical process development and control.</p>","PeriodicalId":11,"journal":{"name":"ACS Chemical Biology","volume":" ","pages":"1505-1515"},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2025-07-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143952936","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this study, we generated a series of <i>A.</i> sp.

Strikingly, removal of the ristosamine on β-hydroxytyrosine 6 (βht6) or the presence of rhamnose on 4-hydroxyphenylglycine 4 (Hpg4) markedly impaired its antibacterial activity, particularly against vancomycin-resistant <i>Enterococcus</i>.

Kupyaphores are specialized metallophores produced by <i>Mycobacterium tuberculosis</i> (<i>Mtb</i>) that primarily chelate zinc to support bacterial survival. Elevated kupyaphore levels early in infection highlight their importance, while their rapid decline, despite increasing bacterial loads, indicates tightly regulated mechanisms of production, consumption, and degradation. However, the processes driving kupyaphore catabolism and their role in preventing zinc toxicity in <i>Mtb</i> remain unclear. Here, we show that covalent modification of the isonitrile moiety in kupyaphores releases zinc, triggering degradation through a sequential three-step enzymatic pathway encoded by <i>Mtb</i>. Isonitrile hydratase converts isonitrile groups into formamides, which are subsequently processed into amines by <i>N</i>-substituted formamide deformylase and ultimately oxidized to β-ketoesters by amine oxidases. The biological significance of this pathway is underscored by the upregulation of these genes under metal-depleted and biofilm-forming conditions. Mutant <i>Mtb</i> strains lacking these genes exhibit impaired growth in metal-limiting environments and reduced levels of biofilm formation. Catalytic intermediates detected in <i>Mtb</i> cultures and infected mouse lung tissues confirm the pathway's in vivo activity. Further, genome mining reveals that similar enzymes are conserved across organisms producing isonitrile-containing metabolites, emphasizing the broader importance of this pathway. Understanding these processes could pave the way for novel therapeutic strategies targeting kupyaphore catabolism.</p>","PeriodicalId":11,"journal":{"name":"ACS Chemical Biology","volume":" ","pages":"1492-1504"},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2025-07-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144525305","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
