The isocitrate lyases (ICL1/2) are essential enzymes ofMycobacterium tuberculosis(Mtb), the causative agent of tuberculosis. At present, no ICL1/2 inhibitors have progressed to clinical evaluation, despite extensive drug discovery efforts. Herein, we surveyed succinate analogs against ICL1 and found that dicarboxylic acids constrained in theirsynperiplanarconformations, such as maleic acid, comprise uncompetitive inhibitors of ICL1 and inhibit more potently than theirtrans-isomers. From this, we identifiedcis-2,3 epoxysuccinic acid (cis-EpS) as a selective, irreversible covalent inactivator ofMtbICL1 (kinact/Kinact= (5.0 ± 1.4) × 104M–1s–1;Kinact= 200 ± 50 nM), the most potent inactivator of ICL1 yet characterized. Crystallographic and mass spectrometric analysis demonstrated that Cys191of ICL1 was S-malylated bycis-EpS, and a crystallographic “snapshot” of inactivation lent insight into the chemical mechanism of this inactivation. Proteomic analysis ofE. colilysates showed thatcis-EpS selectively labeled plasmid-expressedMtbICL1. Consistently,cis-EpS, but not itstrans-isomer, inhibited the growth ofMtbunder conditions in which ICL function is essential. These findings encourage the development of analogs ofcis-2,3-epoxysuccinate as antituberculosis agents.
