While the individual functions of a few AlpJ-family enzymes have been reported, there is a lack of systematic exploration and functional comparison within this enzyme family, hindering a comprehensive understanding of the AlpJ-family oxygenases. In this study, we have systematically explored and analyzed AlpJ-family oxygenases, identifying 49 representative homologues, which can be classified into two distinct evolutionary groups. We revealed that enzymes from different groups exhibit clear functional differentiation, catalyzing the same angucycline substrate dehydrorabelomycin into distinct products, whereas enzymes within the same group display more similar catalytic functions with varying degrees of functional overlap. This underscores the intriguing functional conservation and divergence of the AlpJ-family oxygenases. In addition, we report the first crystal structure of a Group I enzyme, PenE. Structural analysis and site-directed mutagenesis identified key structural features and residues within AlpJ-family oxygenases, which harbor hydrophobic substrate-binding pockets at both the N- and C-termini, both of which are essential for function. Our findings provide valuable insights into the evolution, catalytic mechanisms, and functional divergence of this unique family of oxygenases. Further investigation of these newly identified AlpJ homologues and their associated biosynthetic gene clusters will facilitate the discovery of enzymes with unique catalytic mechanisms and bioactive atypical angucyclines with novel structures.</p>","PeriodicalId":11,"journal":{"name":"ACS Chemical Biology","volume":" ","pages":"1481-1491"},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2025-07-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144273649","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}

Lysophagy is a cellular quality control system that maintains homeostasis by removing damaged lysosomes through autophagy. The involvement of lysosomal dysfunction in the pathogenesis of certain illnesses (e.g., neurodegeneration) highlights the potential of small molecules that regulate lysophagy as drug candidates. Here, we found that tetrandrine, a bis-benzylisoquinoline alkaloid, induces lysophagy, leading to the clearance of damaged lysosomes in mammalian cells. To visualize the target organelles of tetrandrine, we synthesized a chimeric compound in which tetrandrine was connected to boron-dipyrromethene via a polyethylene glycol linker. Flow cytometry analysis confirmed the cellular uptake of the synthesized probe. An organelle-staining assay showed that the fluorescent signal of the probe was specifically colocalized with lysosomes. Tetrandrine transiently increased the lysosomal pH level, which returned to normal at 24 h post treatment. Consistently, the level of mCherry-tagged galectin-3, a marker protein for lysophagy, transiently increased and then diminished under treatment with tetrandrine. Tetrandrine also induced dephosphorylation of transcription factor EB, a regulator of lysosomal biogenesis, promoting its translocation from the cytosol to the nucleus. These results suggest that tetrandrine induces a biphasic cellular response, first disrupting lysosomal function before facilitating cellular lysosomal homeostasis through lysophagy and lysosomal biogenesis. This dual effect distinguishes tetrandrine from existing lysosomal modulators.</p>","PeriodicalId":11,"journal":{"name":"ACS Chemical Biology","volume":" ","pages":"1660-1668"},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2025-07-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144300533","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}

Using the receptor tyrosine kinase MET, we show that three classes of inhibitors can be distinguished by their contrasting effects on static and dynamic quenching of a fluorescent dye attached to the activation loop. Quenching is mediated by tyrosine residues on the flexible activation loop, and inhibitor binding induces order in the loop, sequestering the tyrosines and differentially suppressing static and dynamic quenching in a manner that is dependent on the induced structural state. Type I MET inhibitors have a large static and moderate dynamic component, type II inhibitors have only a static component, and active-state-selective inhibitors relieve both components to similar extents. These distinct dequenching signatures allow the straightforward detection of each binding mode by using parallel steady-state and time-resolved fluorescence measurements. We show that this technique can be applied to rapidly assess the effects of resistance mutations on inhibitor binding and can report on the chemical interactions and conformational changes that drive these effects.
