The emergence of drug resistant strains makes development of new antibiotics targeting the bacterium a global health priority. Pantothenate kinase, a key enzyme in the universal biosynthesis of the essential cofactor Coenzyme A, was targeted in this study to find new tuberculosis drugs. The biochemical characterization of two new classes of compounds that inhibit pantothenate kinase from Mycobacterium tuberculosis are described, along with crystal structures of their enzyme-inhibitor complexes. These represent the first crystal structures of this enzyme with engineered inhibitors. Both classes of compounds bind in the active site of the enzyme, overlapping with the binding sites of the natural substrate and product, pantothenate and phosphopantothenate, respectively. One class of compounds also interferes with binding of the cofactor ATP. The complexes were crystallized in two crystal forms, one of which is in a new space group for this enzyme and diffracts to the highest resolution reported for any pantothenate kinase structure. These two crystal forms allowed, for the first time, modelling of the cofactor-binding loop in both open and closed conformations. The structures also show a binding-mode of ATP different from that previously reported for the Mycobacterium tuberculosis enzyme, but similar to that in the pantothenate kinases of other organisms.
