In Silico Core Proteomics and Molecular Docking Approaches for the Identification of Novel Inhibitors against Streptococcus pyogenes

Abstract: Streptococcus pyogenes is a significant pathogen that causes skin and upper respiratory tract infections and non-suppurative complications, such as acute rheumatic fever and post-strep glomerulonephritis. Multidrug resistance has emerged in S. pyogenes strains, making them more dangerous and pathogenic. Hence, it is necessary to identify and develop therapeutic methods that would present novel approaches to S. pyogenes infections. In the current study, a subtractive proteomics approach was employed to core pro… Show more

“…Same technique was used by researchers to identify potential targets against Streptococcus pneumoniae Strain D39 71 , Fusobacterium nucleatum 72 , Streptococcus pyogenes 48 , and shigella sonnei 73 . Hence, the novel drug targets discovered in this work should be very helpful in the drug therapeutic industry for finding inhibitors and devising new drug formulations to combat W. chondrophila infections, albeit more experimental research are required to confirm these drug targets.…”

“…Here, we proposed some newer members of bacteria from our study, which displayed shallow ANI values. Further, in our core proteome analysis, 11 core orthogoups were identified among all MAGs belonging to the two-component system, ATPase transporter, transcriptional regulator and autolysin, which can be targeted for antimicrobial drug and vaccine development for treating keystone crucial species that are predominantly responsible for specific endodontic infection types [ 64 ].…”

“…Furthermore, specific inhibitors of B. anthracis primase identified with the coupled colorimetric primase-pyrophosphatase assay also failed to show in vivo activity, due to an inability to penetrate the bacterial envelope [119]. More recent studies applying molecular docking approaches [121,136] and/or fragment-based screens [117,122] have identified inhibitors with their activity yet to demonstrate in vivo. Multi-target approaches increase the potential for identification of lead compounds [128].…”
