The present volume of Annual Review of Microbiology has kept with the high tradition of publications in this series of the books. The volume begins with a tribute to the three giants in the field, Charles Yanofsky, Allan Campbell and Stanley Falkow, who passed away recently. These legendary scientists provided us with many of the basic concepts in molecular biology/genetics and bacterial pathogenesis.Full Text

Single-stranded DNA is formed at various stages of DNA metabolism. It is protected from degradation by single-stranded DNA-binding proteins (SSBs). Structural variability has been observed in the quaternary arrangement of tetrameric SSBs from mycobacteria and other sources. Here we describe two novel crystal forms which illustrate the extent of structural variability. Docking studies carried out with inhibitors identified from DNA-binding assays allowed the characterization of eight distinct potential binding regions or grooves on each tetramer that circumvent structurally variable regions. Compounds known to inhibit certain bacterial SSBs were tested against Mycobacterium tuberculosis SSB (MtSSB) using DNA-binding and cellular assays. We report two compounds that inhibit MtSSB and growth of the bacterium. Together, this structural analysis reveals a strategy to exploit the variability of MtSSB for the design of inhibitors to this protein. The variability in structure of MtSSB could contribute to its susceptibility to inhibitionKeywords
