Brito, Querido Jailson Fernando. "Structural study of mRNA translation in kinetoplastids by Cryo-electron microscopy." Thesis, Strasbourg, 2017. http://www.theses.fr/2017STRAJ108.
Full textKinetoplastid is a group of flagellated protozoans, which threatens more than 400 million people world-wide. They possess unusual large rRNA expansion segments (ES) in the 40S, such as ES6S, ES7S and ES9S and their location suggests an involvement in the initiation process. Furthermore, all mature mRNAs possess a conserved 5’ spliced-leader. Here, we purified from T. cruzi cell lysates native initiation complexes and native 40S subunits that we then analysed by cryo-EM. The structure of native initiation complexes reveals several kinetoplastid-specific aspects of translation, such as an intricate interaction network between eIF3 and ES6S and ES7S. Furthermore, it reveals the role of DDX60 in translation initiation in kinetoplastids. The structure of native 40S subunits reveals the existence of an uncharacterized factor (termed ηF) bound at platform of the 40S. The binding site of ηF suggests a role in translational control. Moreover, we reported a novel kinetoplastid-specific ribosomal (r-) protein (KSRP) bound to the 40S subunit. Our work represents the first structural characterization of kinetoplastids-specific aspects of translation initiation

Full textKinetoplastids are flagellated protozoa responsible for life-threatening neglected tropical diseases in humans, such as visceral leishmaniasis (L. donovani and L. infantum), human African trypanosomiasis (T. brucei), or Chagas disease (T. cruzi), for which currently available treatments have limitations. The antikinetoplastid activity of these compounds results from their selective bioactivation by parasitic nitroreductases, leading to the formation of reactive species toxic to the parasite. Two antileishmanial and two anti-Trypanosoma hits, substrates of type 1 parasitic nitroreductases, have been previously described in 3-nitroimidazo[1,2-a]pyridine series. This thesis work focuses on the synthesis and structure-activity relationships of one hundred and three original derivatives, of which sixty-one derivatives are functionalized at positions 2, 6, and 8 of the 3-nitroimidazo[1,2-a]pyridine pharmacophore, and thirty-five derivatives are functionalized at positions 5 or 7, via SN2, SNAr, or pallado-catalyzed coupling reactions. Two 3-nitroimidazo[1,2-b]pyridazine series derivatives are also obtained from a scaffold-hopping strategy, and five 5-nitroimidazole derivatives are obtained by structural simplification. Thus, two new hits were identified in 3-nitroimidazo[1,2-a]pyridine series, a first one antileishmanial, and a second one anti-Trypanosoma, both showing better pharmacokinetic (microsomal stability, human albumin binding) and physicochemical (water solubility, PAMPA permeability tests) properties than the previous hits

Full textThe kinetoplastids of the Leishmania and Trypanosoma genus are the causative agents of neglected tropical diseases that threaten nearly half a billion people in the intertropical zone, resulting in 50 000 deaths per year. Among the molecules in clinical development to treat these pathologies, fexinidazole is a prodrug belonging to the 5-nitroimidazoles family, which exerts its anti-infectious action via a bioactivation step catalyzed by parasitic nitroreductases (NTR), enzymes whose cofactor is a flavin. In order to identify novel nitroheterocycles as parasitic NTR substrates, a small chemical library of imidazo[1,2-a]pyridines synthesized by our laboratory was screened in vitro, leading to the identification of a Hit molecule active both on Leishmania donovani and Trypanosoma brucei brucei. This compound served as a starting point for a pharmacomodulation work, initially in position 8 of the imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine ring: the introduction of various chemical groups using the pallado-catalyzed coupling reactions of Suzuki-Miyaura, Sonogashira and Buchwald-Hartwig, or SNAr reactions, highlighted several "lead" compounds with a significantly improved biological profile. In a second step, the pharmacomodulation work was extended to positions 2, 3 and 6 of the imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine ring in order to complete the structure-activity relationship data, to study in particular the impact of the redox potential and to optimize the physicochemical and in vitro pharmacokinetic parameters of the best compounds in order to initiate the study of their in vivo activity on a trypanosomiasis mouse model

Full textKinetoplastids are flagellated protozoan parasites responsible for lethal neglected tropical diseases, such as visceral leishmaniasis (L. donovani and L. infantum) or sleeping sickness (T. brucei brucei), for which very few drugs are available. Nowadays, nitroheterocyclic compounds present a renewed interest as anti-infective agents, as illustrated by the development of fexinidazole and delamanid. Some recent studies demonstrated that the antikinetoplastid activity of these derivatives involves their selective bioactivation by parasitic nitroreductases, leading to the formation of electrophilic reduced metabolites, highly cytotoxic. Based on preliminary studies conducted in our team in 8-nitroquinolin-2(1H)-one series, this PhD work is about the synthesis and in vitro antiparasitic study of 80 derivatives mainly functionalized at positions 3 and 6 of the pharmacophore by various substituents, especially via the optimization of selective halogenation and pallado-catalyzed cross coupling reactions. Thereby, 5 new hit compounds (4 antikinetoplastid and 1 selective of T. brucei) were identified (0.01 µM ≤ IC50 ≤ 7 µM and 13 < SI < 1500), three of them being selective substrates of type I parasitic nitroreductases. In order to refine the structure-activity relationship studies, an analysis of reduction potentials was also conducted. In vitro physicochemical (solubility, PAMPA permeability assay) and pharmacokinetic (microsomal stability and human albumin binding) experiments completed this work. Finally, the mutagenicity and genotoxicity evaluations of these new hit compounds toward prokaryotic and human cells were realized, in order to assess their human and veterinary antiparasitic pharmaceutical potential

Full textKinetoplastid diseases are vectorial parasitoses caused by flagellated blood protozoa. Among these, African Trypanosomiasis, due to a parasite of the genus Trypanosoma, affects both humans and animals. In humans, this disease, known as sleeping sickness, progresses classically in 2 stages: the hemolymphatic stage characterized by multiplication of the parasite in blood and lymph and the nervous stage characterized by the presence of the parasite in the brain. In the absence of appropriate therapy, death is inevitable. Currently, the treatments proposed in human and veterinary medicine are old, toxic and at the origin of cases of resistance. The search for new molecules is therefore essential to control this pathology. It is in this context that we studied two families of molecules which recognize parasitic sites: (i) Nitroimidazoles that interact with nitroreductases to generate toxic intermediates, and (ii) Phenanthroline derivatives targeting telomerases to disrupt trypanosome DNA synthesis. Our thesis research evaluated the trypanocidal power of different molecules from these two families both by in vitro tests and in a mouse model infected with a strain of Trypanosoma brucei brucei. The purpose of this work was to identify new drug candidates. The results obtained have made it possible to identify compounds of interest that open up new pathways of research to control this parasite, as well as all kinetoplastidae
Yan, Yifei. "Study of cox1 trans-splicing in Diplonema papillatum mitochondria." Thèse, 2011. http://hdl.handle.net/1866/5423.
Full textDiplonema papillatum is a single cellular organism that lives in the ocean. Its mitochondrial genome possesses a special feature: all genes are fragmented in multiple pieces that are called modules and each module is encoded by a different chromosome. Expression of a gene requires trans-splicing that successfully assemble a full-length mRNA from all modules of the gene. It was previously shown that the cox1 gene is encoded in nine modules that are all located on different chromosomes; moreover, a stretch of six non-encoded Us exist between Module 4 and 5 in the mature mRNA [1]. No consensus sequence of known splicing sites was identified near the modules. We speculate that trans-splicing of the cox1 gene is directed by guide RNAs (gRNAs) via a mechanism that is similar to U-insertion/deletion editing in kinetoplastids, the sister group of diplonemids. We have detected populations of small RNA molecules that could come from mitochondrial. We found that the six Us were added to the 3’ end of Module 4 in a similar way to the Us added by the TUTase in kinetoplastid U-insertional editing. Sequence profiles of possible trans-splicing gRNAs were constructed in regular expressions based on our knowledge of known gRNAs in kinetoplastid RNA editing. According to the complementarity between the gRNA and the two adjacent modules, primers were designed for RT-PCR that aims to detect gRNA sequences. Among the results, we identified sequences that match or partially match the gRNA profiles. A pilot in vitro assay did not reconstitute trans-splicing of module 3, 4 and 5, suggesting that further technical improvements are needed.
