Cerulenin is a fungal toxin that inhibits both eukaryotic and prokaryotic ketoacyl-ACP synthases or condensing enzymes. It has been used experimentally to treat cancer, obesity and is a potent inhibitor of bacterial growth. Understanding the molecular mechanisms of resistance to cerulenin and similar compounds is thus highly relevant for human health. We had previously described a Bacillus subtilis cerulenin-resistant strain, expressing a point-mutated condensing enzyme FabF (FabF[I108F]). We now report the crystal structures of wild type FabF (wtFabF) from B. subtilis, both alone and in complex with cerulenin, as well as of the FabF[I108F] mutant protein. The 3D structure of FabF[I108F] constitutes the first atomic model of a condensing enzyme that remains active in the presence of the inhibitor. Soaking the mycotoxin into preformed wtFabF crystals, allowed for non-covalent binding into its specific pocket within the FabF core. But, most interestingly, only co-crystallization experiments allowed us to trap the covalent complex. Our structure shows that the covalent bond between Cys163 and cerulenin, in contrast to what was previously proposed, implicates carbon C3 of the inhibitor. The similarities between Escherichia coli and B. subtilis FabF structures did not explain the reported inability of ecFabF[I108F] to elongate medium and long-chain acyl-ACPs. We now demonstrate that the E. coli modified enzyme efficiently catalyzes the synthesis of medium and long-chain ketoacyl-ACPs.

Publication Abstract from PubMedCerulenin is a fungal toxin that inhibits both eukaryotic and prokaryotic ketoacyl-ACP synthases or condensing enzymes. It has been used experimentally to treat cancer, obesity and is a potent inhibitor of bacterial growth. Understanding the molecular mechanisms of resistance to cerulenin and similar compounds is thus highly relevant for human health. We had previously described a Bacillus subtilis cerulenin-resistant strain, expressing a point-mutated condensing enzyme FabF (FabF[I108F]). We now report the crystal structures of wild type FabF (wtFabF) from B. subtilis, both alone and in complex with cerulenin, as well as of the FabF[I108F] mutant protein. The 3D structure of FabF[I108F] constitutes the first atomic model of a condensing enzyme that remains active in the presence of the inhibitor. Soaking the mycotoxin into preformed wtFabF crystals, allowed for non-covalent binding into its specific pocket within the FabF core. But, most interestingly, only co-crystallization experiments allowed us to trap the covalent complex. Our structure shows that the covalent bond between Cys163 and cerulenin, in contrast to what was previously proposed, implicates carbon C3 of the inhibitor. The similarities between Escherichia coli and B. subtilis FabF structures did not explain the reported inability of ecFabF[I108F] to elongate medium and long-chain acyl-ACPs. We now demonstrate that the E. coli modified enzyme efficiently catalyzes the synthesis of medium and long-chain ketoacyl-ACPs.
