This essential and unique modification is also vulnerable, in that it can be efficiently targeted by NAD(+)-dependent ADP-ribosylase toxins, such as diphtheria toxin (DT). However, none of the intermediates in the biosynthesis path is equally vulnerable against the toxins. This study aims to address the different susceptibility of DTA and its precursors against bacterial toxins. We have herein undertaken a detailed in silico study of the structural features and dynamic motion of different His699 intermediates along the diphthamide synthesis pathway (HIS, ACP, DTI, DTA). The study points out that DTA forms a strong hydrogen bond with an asparagine which might explain the ADP-ribosylation mechanism caused by the diphtheria toxin (DT). Finally, in silico mutagenesis studies were performed on the DTA modified protein, in order to hamper the formation of such a hydrogen bond. The results indicate that the mutant structure might in fact be less susceptible to attack by DT and thereby behave similarly to DTI in this respect."xsd:string |
