Abstract

To reduce the risk of resistance development, a novel fungicide with dual specificity is demanded. Trehalose is absent in Animals, and its synthases, trehalose-6-phosphate synthase (TPS) and trehalose-6-phosphate Phosphatase (TPP), are safe fungicide targets. Here, we report the discovery of a dual-specificity inhibitor of MoTps1 (Magnaporthe oryzae Tps1, TPS) and MoTps2 (M. oryzae Tps2, TPP). The inhibitor, named A1-4, was obtained from a virtual screening and subsequent surface plasmon resonance screening. In in vitro assays, A1-4 interacts with MoTps1 and MoTps2-TPP (MoTps2 TPP domain) and inhibits their Enzyme activities. In biological activity assays, A1-4 not only inhibits the virulence of M. oryzae on host but also causes aggregation of conidia cytosol, which is a characteristic phenotype of MoTps2. Furthermore, hydrogen/deuterium exchange mass spectrometry assays support the notion that A1-4 binds to the substrate pockets of TPS and TPP. Collectively, A1-4 is a promising hit compound for the development of safe fungicide with dual-target specificity.
