Nature provides a rich source of bioactive compounds comprising a diverse set of electrophilic core structures that are poised to react with corresponding nucleophilic residues such as serine and cysteine in enzyme active sites.[1–3] These residues are usually relevant for catalysis and therefore display fine-tuned reactivity towards their dedicated substrates.[4] We and others previously investigated the dedicated targets of monocyclic β-lactones which turned out to be potent and selective inhibitors of diverse disease-associated enzyme classes.[2, 3, 5–8] Covalent inhibition of the caseinolytic peptidase ClpP, for instance, resulted in a dramatic attenuation of bacterial virulence.[3] ClpP is an important, highly conserved heat shock protein with additional regulatory functions in many pathogens.[9–11] Some organisms such as Listeria monocytogenes genetically encode for two functionally and structurally uncharacterized ClpP isoforms (ClpP1 and ClpP2). So far, all β-lactones were reported to target solely ClpP2 and not ClpP1,[2] raising the question whether monocyclic lactones lack suitable reactivity to interact with the ClpP1 active-site nucleophile.We herein expand the scope of natural-product-derived βlactones to strained bicyclic ring systems which may exhibit enhanced reactivity profiles. The natural products omuralide, salinosporamide, and vibralactone (VL) represent such desired scaffolds and have been reported to be potent proteasome or lipase inhibitors.[12–14] We utilized a chemical proteomic strategy termed “activity-based protein profiling (ABPP)”[15–17] to demonstrate that vibralactone (VL), contrary to monocyclic β-lactones, binds to both ClpP1 and ClpP2 in L. monocytogenes. Moreover, by combining transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and homology modeling/structure predictions, we were able to determine the quaternary structure of the hetero-oligomeric complex (Figure 1). VL was synthesized as described by Zhou and Snider [18](Scheme 1 in the Supporting Information) and modified with an alkyne handle in the final step for target discovery by ABPP (Figure 1).[19] Target analysis started by the incubation of this vibralactone probe (VLP) with intact living cells of L. welshimeri and its pathogenic counterpart L. monocytogenes. Upon cell lysis, the proteome was treated under click chemistry (CC)[20–22] conditions with rhodamine azide and the targets were visualized by fluorescent SDS-PAGE analysis (Figure 1 in the Supporting Information). Two strong fluorescent bands for approximately 20kDa proteins were present at comparable intensities in L. welshimeri as well as in L. monocytogenes (Figure 2A) down to a VLP concentration of 3.4 μm (Figure 1C in the Supporting Information). Pre-incubation with various concentrations of unmodified VL gradually abolished the labeling of these bands, demonstrating that the natural product exhibits comparable target selectivity (Figure2B). Mass spectrometric (MS) analysis revealed that the lower band corresponds to ClpP2 which has been labeled by monocyclic β-lactones before.[2] Interestingly, the upper band corresponds to ClpP1 which could not be addressed by any other β-lactone probe (Figure 2A, Table 1 in the Supporting Information). While ClpP2 orthologues from various organisms exhibit a high sequence homology (77% identity between L. monocytogenes and S. aureus) with a tetradecameric barrel-shaped assembly in crystal structures,[23–26] ClpP1 shares only 41% identity with ClpP2 (Figure2 in the Supporting Information). This raises the question whether ClpP1 exhibits a different fold and function and assembles with ClpP2 in mixed complexes, as previously suggested for …
