Here, the partition, location, and interaction of emodin with lipid membranes of 1,2-dimyristoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (DMPC) are experimentally investigated with different techniques.

The 370–375 fragment of TDP-43 (<sup>370</sup>GNNSYS<sup>375</sup>, TDP-43<sub>370-375</sub>), the amyloidogenic hexapeptides, can be prone to forming pathogenic amyloid fibrils with the characteristic of steric zippers. Previous experiments reported the ALS-associated mutation, serine 375 substituted by glycine (S375G) is linked to early onset disease and protein aggregation of TDP-43. Based on this, it is necessary to explore the underlying molecular mechanisms. By utilizing all-atom molecular dynamics (MD) simulations of 102 μs in total, we investigated the impact of S375G mutation on the conformational ensembles and oligomerization dynamics of TDP-43<sub>370-375</sub> peptides. Our replica exchange MD simulations show that S375G mutation could promote the unstructured conformation formation and induce peptides to form a loose packed oligomer, thus inhibiting the aggregation of TDP-43<sub>370-375</sub>. Further analyses suggest that S375G mutation displays a reduction effect on the number of total hydrogen bonds and contacts among TDP-43<sub>370-375</sub> peptides. Hydrogen bonding and polar interactions among TDP-43<sub>370-375</sub> peptides, as well as Y374-Y374 π-π stacking interaction, are attenuated by S375G mutation. Additional microsecond MD simulations demonstrate that S375G mutation could prohibit the conformational conversion to β-structure-rich aggregates and possess an inhibitory effect on the oligomerization dynamics of TDP-43<sub>370-375</sub>.

The expression of β-lactamase enzymes produced by pathogens, which hydrolyze the amide bond of the β-lactam ring, is the major mechanism for bacterial resistance to β-lactams. In particular, among class A, B, C and D β-lactamases, metallo-β-lactamases (MBLs, class B β-lactamases) are considered crucial contributors to resistance in gram-negative bacteria. To combat β-lactamase-mediated resistance, great efforts have been made to develop β-lactamase inhibitors that restore the activity of β-lactams. Some β-lactamase inhibitors, such as diazabicyclooctanes (DBOs) and boronic acid derivatives, have also been approved by the FDA. Inhibitors used in the clinic can inactivate mostly serine-β-lactamases (SBLs, class A, C, and D β-lactamases) but have not been effective against MBLs until now. In order to develop new inhibitors particularly for MBLs, various attempts have been suggested. Based on structural and mechanical studies of MBL enzymes, several MBL inhibitor candidates, including taniborbactam in phase 3 and xeruborbactam in phase 1, have been introduced in recent years. However, designing potent inhibitors that are effective against all subclasses of MBLs is still extremely challenging. This review summarizes not only the types of β-lactamase and mechanisms by which β-lactam antibiotics are inactivated, but also the research finding on β-lactamase inhibitors targeting these enzymes. These detailed information on β-lactamases and their inhibitors could give valuable information for novel β-lactamase inhibitors design.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":8979,"journal":{"name":"Biophysical chemistry","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.8,"publicationDate":"2024-03-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140320858","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
