KKL-35 is a novel, and potent small molecule inhibitor of trans-translation tagging reaction with IC50 of 0.9 µM and with broad-spectrum antibiotic activity. The trans-translation pathway for protein tagging and ribosome release plays a critical role for viability and virulence in a wide range of pathogens but is not found in animals. KKL-35 blocks bacterial trans-translation, a proof-reading mechanism that eliminates mRNAs lacking stop codons from translation complexes. KKL-35 inhibits trans-translation, and subsequent cell growth in a broad spectrum of bacterial strains. KKL-35 inhibited the growth of all tested strains at submicromolar concentrations. KKL-35 was also active against other LD-causing Legionella species. KKL-35 remained equally active against L. pneumophila mutants that have evolved resistance to macrolides. KKL-35 inhibited the multiplication of L. pneumophila in human macrophages at several stages of infection.
| Targets |
trans-translation tagging reaction(IC50= 0.9 µM)
Broad-spectrum antibiotic activity is demonstrated by KKL-35. When B. anthracis and M. smegmatis grow, KKL-35 inhibits their growth with minimum inhibitory concentrations (MIC) less than 6 µM. KKL-35 prevents tagged proteins from being proteolyzed at a certain stage of trans-translation. KKL-35 prevents DHFR-ns from being tagged. Reactions containing the highest concentrations of KKL-35 yield a significant amount of untagged DHFR, suggesting that KKL-35 does not impede translation.When added to a growing culture of S. flexneri, KKL-35 stops growth and inhibits the growth of WT S. flexneri with a MIC of 6 µM. The addition of KKL-35 to a S. flexneri strain that is deleted for ssrA and expresses ArfA does not significantly affect growth rate or viability. With a minimum inhibitory concentration of 0.3 µM, KKL-35 suppresses the growth of E. coli ∆tolC, a strain that lacks small molecule efflux. |

KKL-35 inhibited the in vitro trans-translation tagging reaction in a dose-dependent manner with an IC₅₀ of 0.9 μM. It did not inhibit general translation, as demonstrated by in vitro translation assays using a DHFR gene containing a stop codon. In filter-binding assays, KKL-35 (100 μM) did not significantly affect the binding affinity between tmRNA and SmpB (Kd = 1.3 ± 0.13 nM with KKL-35 vs. 1.6 ± 0.35 nM with DMSO control).[1] |
| ln Vivo |
Research points to KKL-35's inhibition of trans-translation'sreleaseof nonstop translation complexes as the source of its in vivo effects. S. flexneri strains that require trans-translation cannot grow because KKL-35 inhibits trans-translation. Genetic and pharmacological experiments demonstrating that alternative mechanisms to release nonstop translation complexes relieve the growth suppression of KKL-35 support the correlation between inhibition of trans-translation and growth[1].
KKL-35 exhibited broad-spectrum antibacterial activity in broth microdilution assays. It prevented growth of Shigella flexneri (MIC = 6 μM), Bacillus anthracis (MIC ≤ 6 μM), Mycobacterium smegmatis (MIC ≤ 6 μM), and E. coli ΔtolC (MIC = 0.3 μM). In S. flexneri, growth inhibition by KKL-35 was rescued by expression of the alternative rescue factor ArfA, confirming that its antibacterial effect is due to trans-translation inhibition. Puromycin (0.1 μg/mL) also rescued growth of E. coli ΔtolC in the presence of KKL-35, further supporting that growth inhibition results from accumulation of nonstop translation complexes.[1] |
| Enzyme Assay |
In vitro trans-translation assays were performed using a coupled transcription/translation system. A DHFR gene without a stop codon (DHFR-ns) was used as template. tmRNA and SmpB were added to 2 μM final concentration to enable tagging. KKL-35 or other compounds were added at 10 μM (or varied concentrations for dose-response). Reactions were incubated at 37°C for 1–3 hours, precipitated with acetone, separated by SDS-PAGE, and visualized. Tagging efficiency was calculated as the ratio of tagged DHFR to total DHFR.[1]
|
| Cell Assay |
A cell-based luciferase reporter assay was used for high-throughput screening. E. coli cells expressing a nonstop luciferase mRNA (luc-trpAt) were treated with compounds. If trans-translation is inhibited, active luciferase accumulates and produces luminescence. For fluorescent reporter assays, strains expressing mCherry-trpAt or mCherry-tag were grown to OD₆₀₀ = 0.2, induced with IPTG, and treated with compounds. Fluorescence intensity was measured by microscopy, and cells with intensity >2 SD above DMSO control were scored as positive.[1]

| Additional Infomation |
KKL-35 was identified through high-throughput screening of 663,000 compounds and using a cell-based translation reporter gene assay. It is a small molecule inhibitor that blocks the labeling step in the translation process. Translation is essential for bacterial survival and virulence but is absent in animals. KKL-35 has broad-spectrum antibacterial activity and is considered a promising antibiotic candidate, especially for combating drug-resistant pathogens. [1]
