Description: Helicobacter pylori infects approximately half of the world's population and is responsible for inducing chronic gastric inflammation that can progress to gastric cancer (1). At the cellular level, Helicobacter pylori infection of the human stomach is associated with inflammation that elicits DNA damage in both bacterial and host cells (2). This DNA damage must be repaired in order for the bacteria to persist. The H. pylori AddAB helicase-exonuclease is required for DNA repair and efficient stomach colonization (3), and inhibitors of this enzyme may be useful antibacterial drugs for treating these infections. The AddAB class of enzymes is closely related to the RecBCD class of helicase-nucleases; both classes are widely distributed in bacteria but appear to be absent in eukaryotes (4). The protein complex functions in DNA repair by directing free DNA ends into the homologous recombination pathway (5). As a result, the identification of inhibitors of AddAB may be useful tools for elucidating the role of AddAB and RecBCD in bacterial recombination and as potential novel antibiotics with few off-target effects.

Protocol Assay Overview: The purpose of this assay is to determine whether powder samples of compounds identified as AddAB inhibitor probe candidates can inhibit recombination in Hfr conjugational crosses. In this assay a test strain is mated with an Hfr strain in the presence of compound, and the frequency of selected recombinants (His+ StrR) in the mixture is determined by differential plating. The donor and recipient are also plated on non-selective media to measure viability. E. coli are exposed to test compounds for 1.5 hours. As designed, compounds that inhibit RecBCD will reduce the frequency of recombinants. This assay is designed to determine if inhibitors of RecBCD can enter living cells and inhibit the recombination-promoting function of RecBCD. Probes should be active in this assay. Compounds were tested using a 5-point dilution series of doses ranging from 0.03 to 100 uM. Protocol Summary: Recipient cells are grown for 1 hr in LB broth with or without compound. Donor and recipient cells are plated separately on non-selective media to measure viability. Donor (Hfr) and recipient (F-) cells are mixed in a ratio of 1:10, incubated for 30 min, vortexed to separate mating cells, and plated differentially to determine the frequency of recombinants (His+ StrR). The relative viability of each culture was calculated as follows: Relative_Viability = number of colony forming units per ml of culture treated with compound normalized to the number of colony forming units per ml of culture treated with DMSO only. The fold reduction in recombinant frequency for each compound was calculated as follows: Fold_Reduction = [Recombinant frequency of DMSO control] / [Recombinant frequency in presence of compound adjusted for relative viability of the culture] PubChem Activity Outcome and Score: Compounds with an IC50 value greater than or equal to 1 uM were considered inactive. Compounds with an IC50 value less than 1 uM were considered active. Activity score was then ranked by the potency of the compounds with fitted curves, with the most potent compounds assigned the highest activity scores. The PubChem Activity Score range for active compounds is 100-1. There are no inactive compounds.
