Protein post-translational modifications are involved in essentially all aspects of cellular signaling. Their dynamic nature and the difficulties in installing them using enzymatic approaches limits their direct study in human cells. Reported herein is the first synthesis, delivery and cellular study of a stable phosphoubiquitin probe. Our results compare Parkin's substrate preference during mitophagyviadirect visualization of a phosphorylated ubiquitin probe in the cellular environment.

Anti-virulence approaches in the treatment of Pseudomonas aeruginosa (PA)-induced infections have shown clinical potential in multiple in vitro and in vivo studies. However, development of these compounds is limited by several factors, including the lack of molecules capable of penetrating the membrane of gram-negative organisms. Here, we report the identification of novel structurally diverse compounds that inhibit PqsR and LasR-based signaling and diminish virulence factor production and biofilm growth in two clinically relevant strains of P. aeruginosa. It is the first report where potential anti-virulent agents were evaluated for inhibition of several virulence factors of PA. Finally, co-treatment with these inhibitors significantly reduced the production of virulence factors induced by the presence of sub-inhibitory levels of ciprofloxacin. Further, we have analyzed the drug-likeness profile of designed compounds using quantitative estimates of drug-likeness (QED) and confirmed their potential as hit molecules for further development.

Two new cyclic lipopeptides termed laxaphycins B4 (1) and A2 (2) were discovered from a collection of the marine cyanobacterium Hormothamnion enteromorphoides, along with the known compound laxaphycin A. The planar structures were solved based on a combined interpretation of 1D and 2D NMR data and mass spectral data. The absolute configurations of the subunits were determined by chiral LC-MS analysis of the hydrolysates, advanced Marfey's analysis and 1D and 2D ROESY experiments. Consistent with similar findings on other laxaphycin A- and B-type peptides, laxaphycin B4 (1) showed antiproliferative effects against human colon cancer HCT116 cells with IC50 of 1.7 μM, while laxaphycins A and A2 (2) exhibited weak activities. The two major compounds isolated from the sample, laxaphycins A and B4, were shown to act synergistically to inhibit the growth of HCT116 colorectal cancer cells.
