ppa 3689032 WP_004522531.1 Group 3 [] Melioidosis, or Whitmore's disease, is an infectious disease common in tropical climates caused by contaminated water and soil. There are several types of melioidosis infections, all with their own symptoms, including localized, pulmonary, bloodstream, and disseminated infections. Melioidosis's wide range of symptoms have often caused it to be mistake for other diseases such as pneumonia and tuberculosis. The disease is most prominent in Southeast Asia and Northern Australia.

 * Essentiality of this protein: **
 * "Pyrophosphatases catalyze the hydrolysis of inorganic phosphate (PPi) to inorganic phosphate Pi, driving biosynthetic reactions; they are essential for low cytosolic inorganic phosphate. It was suggested recently that posttranslational regulation of Family I soluble inorganic pyrophosphatases (sPPases) may affect their activity. As sPPases are essential for many metabolic pathways in eukaryotic cells"
 * Complex of proteins?: **No
 * Druggable Target (list number or cite evidence from a paper/database showing druggable in another organism): **


 * "Inorganic pyrophosphatase (PPiase) is an essential enzyme that hydrolyzes inorganic pyrophosphate (PPi), driving numerous metabolic processes. We report a discovery of an allosteric inhibitor (2,4-bis(aziridin-1-yl)-6-(1-phenylpyrrol-2-yl)-s-triazine) of bacterial PPiases. Analogues of this lead compound were synthesized to target specifically Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) PPiase (MtPPiase). The best analogue (compound 16) with a Ki of 11 μM for MtPPiase is a species-specific inhibitor. Crystal structures of MtPPiase in complex with the lead compound and one of its analogues (compound 6) demonstrate that the inhibitors bind in a nonconserved interface between monomers of the hexameric MtPPiase in a yet unprecedented pairwise manner, while the remote conserved active site of the enzyme is occupied by a bound PPi substrate. Consistent with the structural studies, the kinetic analysis of the most potent inhibitor has indicated that it functions uncompetitively, by binding to the enzyme-substrate complex. The inhibitors appear to allosterically lock the active site in a closed state causing its dysfunctionalization and blocking the hydrolysis. These inhibitors are the first examples of allosteric, species-selective inhibitors of PPiases, serving as a proof-of-principle that PPiases can be selectively targeted."
