Gepotidacin is an antibiotic candidate that selectively inhibits both bacterial DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV. In a susceptible organism, Klebsiella pneumoniae, a combination of two specific mutations in these target proteins provide an over 2000-fold increment in resistance, while individually none of these mutations affect resistance significantly. Alarmingly, gepotidacin-resistant strains are found to be as virulent as the wild-type K. pneumoniae strain in a murine model, and extensive cross-resistance was demonstrated between gepotidacin and ciprofloxacin, a fluoroquinolone antibiotic widely employed in clinical practice. This suggests that numerous fluoroquinolone-resistant pathogenic isolates carry mutations which would promote the evolution of clinically significant resistance against gepotidacin in the future. We conclude that prolonged antibiotic usage could select for mutations that serve as stepping-stones towards resistance against antimicrobial compounds still under development. More generally, our research indicates that even balanced multi-targeting antibiotics are prone to resistance evolution.}, year = {2018}, orcid-numbers = {Martinek, Tamás/0000-0003-3168-8066; Vásárhelyi, Bálint Márk/0000-0003-1782-8691} } @article{MTMT:3213189, title = {De Novo Modular Development of a Foldameric Protein-Protein Interaction Inhibitor for Separate Hot Spots: A Dynamic Covalent Assembly Approach}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/3213189}, author = {Bartus, Éva and Hegedüs, Zsófia and Wéber, Edit and Csipak, Brigitta and Szakonyi, Gerda and Martinek, Tamás}, doi = {10.1002/open.201700012}, journal-iso = {CHEMISTRYOPEN}, journal = {CHEMISTRYOPEN}, volume = {6}, unique-id = {3213189}, issn = {2191-1363}, keywords = {FOLDAMERS; MOLECULAR RECOGNITION; PEPTIDOMIMETICS; protein–protein interactions; dynamic covalent chemistry}, year = {2017}, eissn = {2191-1363}, pages = {236-241}, orcid-numbers = {Bartus, Éva/0000-0001-9976-6978; Hegedüs, Zsófia/0000-0002-5546-8167; Wéber, Edit/0000-0002-5904-0619; Szakonyi, Gerda/0000-0002-4366-4283; Martinek, Tamás/0000-0003-3168-8066} } @article{MTMT:3193426, title = {Loop-F of the alpha-subunit determines the pharmacologic profile of novel competitive inhibitors of GABA(A) receptors}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/3193426}, author = {Mihalik, Balázs and Pálvölgyi, Adrienn and Bogár, Ferenc and Megyeri, Katalin and Ling, István and Barkóczy, József and Bartha, Ferenc and Martinek, Tamás and Gacsályi, István and Antoni, Ferenc András}, doi = {10.1016/j.ejphar.2017.01.033}, journal-iso = {EUR J PHARMACOL}, journal = {EUROPEAN JOURNAL OF PHARMACOLOGY}, volume = {798}, unique-id = {3193426}, issn = {0014-2999}, keywords = {GABA; molecular modelling; Nootropic Agents; GABAA antagonists; Extrasynaptic receptors; Loop-F}, year = {2017}, eissn = {1879-0712}, pages = {129-136}, orcid-numbers = {Mihalik, Balázs/0000-0002-4302-7567; Bogár, Ferenc/0000-0002-0611-1452; Martinek, Tamás/0000-0003-3168-8066} } @article{MTMT:3148106, title = {Target-specific NMR detection of protein–ligand interactions with antibody-relayed 15N-group selective STD}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/3148106}, author = {Hetényi, Anasztázia and Hegedüs, Zsófia and Fajka-Boja, Roberta and Monostori, Éva and E Kövér, Katalin and Martinek, Tamás}, doi = {10.1007/s10858-016-0076-3}, journal-iso = {J BIOMOL NMR}, journal = {JOURNAL OF BIOMOLECULAR NMR}, volume = {66}, unique-id = {3148106}, issn = {0925-2738}, abstract = {Fragment-based drug design has been successfully applied to challenging targets where the detection of the weak protein-ligand interactions is a key element.

This function of MSCs is attributed to plethora of the expressed immunosuppressive factors, such as galectin-1 (Gal-1), a pleiotropic lectin with robust anti-inflammatory effect. Nevertheless, whether Gal-1 renders or contributes to the immunosuppressive effect of MSCs has not been clearly established. Therefore, this question was the focus of a complex study. METHODS: MSCs were isolated from bone marrows of wild-type and Gal-1 knockout mice and their in vitro anti-proliferative and apoptosis-inducing effects on activated T cells were examined. The in vivo immunosuppressive activity was tested in murine models of type I diabetes and delayed-type hypersensitivity. RESULTS: Both Gal-1-expressing and -deficient MSCs inhibited T-cell proliferation. Inhibition of T-cell proliferation by MSCs was mediated by nitric oxide but not PD-L1 or Gal-1. In contrast, MSC-derived Gal-1 triggered apoptosis in activated T cells that were directly coupled to MSCs, representing a low proportion of the T-cell population. Furthermore, absence of Gal-1 in MSCs did not affect their in vivo immunosuppressive effect. CONCLUSIONS: These results serve as evidence that Gal-1 does not play a role in the systemic immunosuppressive effect of MSCs. However, a local contribution of Gal-1 to modulation of T-cell response by direct cell-to-cell interaction cannot be excluded. Notably, this study serves a good model to understand how the specificity of a pleiotropic protein depends on the type and localization of the producing effector cell and its target.}, year = {2016}, eissn = {1477-2566}, pages = {360-370}, orcid-numbers = {Suhajdáné Urbán, Veronika/0000-0003-0393-5891; Szebeni, Gábor/0000-0002-6998-5632; Uher, Ferenc/0000-0001-7997-6142; Monostori, Éva/0000-0002-7442-3562} } @article{MTMT:2993079, title = {Foldameric probes for membrane interactions by induced β-sheet folding}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/2993079}, author = {Hegedüs, Zsófia and Makra, Ildikó and Imre, Norbert and Hetényi, Anasztázia and Mándity, István and Monostori, Éva and Martinek, Tamás}, doi = {10.1039/C5CC09257D}, journal-iso = {CHEM COMMUN}, journal = {CHEMICAL COMMUNICATIONS}, volume = {52}, unique-id = {2993079}, issn = {1359-7345}, abstract = {Design strategies were devised for alpha/beta-peptide foldameric analogues of the antiangiogenic anginex with the goal of mimicking the diverse structural features from the unordered conformation to a folded beta-sheet in response to membrane interactions.

In this work, the de novo designed betabellin-14 β-sheet has been used as a template, and α→β residue mutations were carried out in the hydrophobic core (positions 12 and 19). β-Residues with diverse structural properties were utilized: Homologous β3-amino acids, (1R,2S)-2-aminocyclopentanecarboxylic acid (ACPC), (1R,2S)-2-aminocyclohexanecarboxylic acid (ACHC), (1R,2S)-2-aminocyclohex-3-enecarboxylic acid (ACEC), and (1S,2S,3R,5S)-2-amino-6,6-dimethylbicyclo[3.1.1]heptane-3-carboxylic acid (ABHC). Six α/β-peptidic chains were constructed in both monomeric and disulfide-linked dimeric forms. Structural studies based on circular dichroism spectroscopy, the analysis of NMR chemical shifts, and molecular dynamics simulations revealed that dimerization induced β-sheet formation in the 64-residue foldameric systems. Core replacement with (1R,2S)-ACHC was found to be unique among the β-amino acid building blocks studied because it was simultaneously able to maintain the interstrand hydrogen-bonding network and to fit sterically into the hydrophobic interior of the β-sandwich. The novel β-sandwich model containing 25% unnatural building blocks afforded protein-like thermal denaturation behavior. Dissolving sandwiches: A water-soluble β-sandwich has been constructed by using cyclic β-amino acids in the hydrophobic core (see figure).
