A Chemical Disruptor of the ClpX Chaperone Complex Attenuates the Virulence of Multidrug‐Resistant Staphylococcus aureus
14 Sept 2017
Abstract excerpt
The Staphylococcus aureus ClpXP protease is an important regulator of cell homeostasis and virulence. We utilized a high-throughput screen against the ClpXP complex and identified a specific inhibitor of the ClpX chaperone that disrupts its oligomeric state. Synthesis of 34 derivatives revealed that the molecular scaffold is restrictive for diversification, with only minor changes tolerated. Subsequent analysis...
