Griselimycin (GM) and methylgriselimycin (MGM), naturally produced by microorganisms of the genus Streptomyces, are cyclic depsipeptides composed of ten amino acids. They exhibit antibacterial activity against Mycobacterium species by inhibiting the sliding clamp of prokaryotic DNA polymeraseIII and are therefore considered as potential anti-tuberculosis drugs. The difference between the peptides is the presence of l-(R)-4-methyl-proline in MGM instead of l-proline in GM at position8 of the amino acid sequence. Methylation increases both metabolic stability and activity of MGM compared to GM. To get deeper insight into the structure-activity relationship, the solution structure of the cyclic part of MGM was determined using rotating-frame nuclear Overhauser effect (ROE) distance restraints and residual dipolar couplings (RDC). The structure of MGM in solution is compared to the structure of GM in a co-crystal with DNA polymeraseIII subunit beta. As a result, a highly defined structural model of MGM is obtained, which shows related characteristics to the bound GM.
