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 an E. coli recBCD deletion test strain transformed with H. pylori paddAB and precA 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 viability of the donor and recipient strains are determined by plating on non-selective media. E. coli were exposed to test compounds for 1.5 hours. As designed, compounds that inhibit AddAB will reduce the frequency of recombinants. This assay is designed to determine if inhibitors of AddAB can enter living cells and inhibit the recombination-promoting function of AddAB. Probes should be active in this assay. Compounds were tested in duplicate experiments at single doses of 20 uM. Protocol Summary: Recipient cells are grown for 1 hr in LB broth with or without compound. The viability of the donor and recipient strains are determined by plating on non-selective media. 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 reocmbinants (His+ StrR). The relative viability of each culture was calculated as follows: Relative_Viability = [colony forming units per ml of culture with compound] / [colony forming units per ml of culture with DMSO] 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] Where: Recombinant_Frequency = 100 * [His+ StrR recombinants per donor cell adjusted for the viability of the recipient] PubChem Activity Outcome and Score: Compounds that reduced recombinant frequency (viability) by 4-fold or greater compared to the DMSO control were considered active. Compounds that reduced recombinant frequency (viability) less than 4-fold were considered inactive. Compounds were ranked by fold reduction, the largest fold reduction received a score of 100. The PubChem Activity Score range for active compounds is 100-100, and for inactive compounds 22-16.
