Stapled Phd Peptides Inhibit Doc Toxin Induced Growth Arrest in Salmonella .
ACS Chemical Biology 2023 December 16
Bacterial toxin inhibition is a promising approach to overcoming antibiotic failure. In Salmonella , knockout of the toxin Doc has been shown to significantly reduce the formation of antibiotic-tolerant persisters. Doc is a kinase that is inhibited in nontolerant cells by its cognate antitoxin, Phd. In this work, we have developed first-in-class stapled peptide antitoxin mimetics based on the Doc inhibitory sequence of Phd. After making a series of substitutions to improve bacterial uptake, we identified a lead stapled Phd peptide that is able to counteract Doc toxicity in Salmonella . This provides an exciting starting point for the further development of therapeutic peptides capable of reducing antibiotic persistence in pathogenic bacteria.
