More Info:
Biological target: | QStatin is a potent and selective inhibitor of SmcR (V. harveyi LuxR homologue) with an EC50 of 208.9 nM, binding tightly to SmcR and changes the flexibility of the protein, thereby altering its transcription regulatory activity. |
In vitro activity: | To examine whether QStatin affects the DNA-binding activity of SmcR, an electrophoretic mobility shift assay (EMSA) with PvvpE DNA was performed. Although SmcR binding to the DNA was reduced specifically by QStatin in a dose-dependent manner, the interaction was not completely abolished. The enthalpic (ΔH) and entropic (TΔS) components of the free binding energy of SmcR-DNA interaction were markedly changed by QStatin, indicating that QStatin affects the characteristics of the interaction between SmcR and PvvpE DNA. Similarly, SmcR interactions with the promoter DNAs of the flhF (PflhF) and VVMO6_03194 (PVVMO6_03194) genes, both of which are directly repressed by SmcR (37), were affected by QStatin. In these cases, the effect of QStatin was more noticeable, as the compound decreased the binding affinities of SmcR for the DNAs about 5-fold (for PflhF) or 8-fold (for PVVMO6_03194).

In vivo activity: | It was examined whether QStatin (20 μM) affects the expression of SmcR regulon in vivo. Both quantitative reverse transcription-PCR (qRT-PCR) and RNA sequencing analyses revealed that QStatin-treated WT V. vulinificus (WT+QStatin) and DMSO-treated ΔsmcR mutant V. vulinificus (ΔsmcR+DMSO) had expression profiles similar to those seen with the SmcR regulon (Fig. 5a and andb;b; see also Fig. S4), indicating that QStatin switches SmcR to a dysfunctional state and globally affects the expression of the SmcR regulon in vivo. Also, QStatin does not seem to inhibit transcriptional regulators other than SmcR, because gene expression profiles in the ΔsmcR mutant were not affected by QStatin treatment (Fig. 5b); thus, the ΔsmcR+QStatin sample clustered with the ΔsmcR+DMSO and WT+QStatin samples in a principal-component analysis (Fig. 5c). Taken together, these transcriptome-level in vivo analyses further indicate that QStatin affects the expression of the whole SmcR regulon by directly and selectively inhibiting SmcR.
