Pradimicins (PRMs) are a unique family of natural products that exhibit antifungal activity via binding to cell wall mannans of fungi. Although their mannan-targeted antifungal action has attracted considerable interest, there is still only limited knowledge as to how PRMs bind to mannans. In this study, we evaluated the relative binding affinity of PRMs for synthetic oligomannoses, which reflect the
Pradimicins(PRMs)是独特的天然产物家族,通过与真菌的细胞壁甘露聚糖结合,具有抗真菌活性。尽管以甘露聚糖为目标的抗真菌作用引起了极大的兴趣,但关于PRM如何与甘露聚糖结合的知识仍然有限。在这项研究中,我们评估了PRM对合成寡甘露糖的相对结合亲和力,反映了白色念珠菌细胞壁甘露聚糖的结构基序特征。。两种互补结合测定法显示,PRM对于非还原端带有多个甘露糖残基的分支寡甘露糖基序具有强烈的偏好。另外,发现低聚甘露糖模拟物(其中两个甘露糖被聚乙二醇间隔基桥接)在两种测定法中的行为类似于两分支的低聚甘露糖。这些结果表明,通过同时识别多个末端甘露糖残基,PRMs优先结合真菌甘露聚糖的高度分支区域。
