High-Throughput Identification and Characterization of LptDE-Binding Bicycle Peptides Using Phage Display and Cryo-EM. J.Med.Chem., 68:21144-21155, 2025 Cited by PubMed Abstract: The lipopolysaccharide (LPS) transport (Lpt) system in Gram-negative bacteria maintains the integrity of the asymmetric bacterial outer membrane (OM). LPS biogenesis systems are essential in most Gram-negative bacteria, with LptDE responsible for the delivery of LPS to the outer leaflet of the OM. As an externally accessible, essential protein, LptDE offers a promising target for inhibitor development without the need for cellular penetration. However, there are no direct inhibitors of LptDE, and drug discovery is made challenging since it is a membrane target without a conventional active site. Here, the bicycle phage display platform was used in combination with cryogenic-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) and surface plasmon resonance to identify and map bicyclic peptide binders to LptDE (SfLptDE). Four distinct epitopes with unique bicycle molecule binding motifs were identified across the SfLptD β-barrel. This method represents a streamlined workflow for the identification and prioritization of hit molecules against LptDE.
