hemicholinium-3 | HC-3, HC-3 competes with the Cho substrate by directly displacing it from the active site of hChoK. Hemocholinium-3 blocks cell division, reduces LTA production, distorts the cell wall, and inhibits sChoK activity | Streptococcus pneumoniae | |
MN58b | dysregulates the production of LTA, distorts the cell wall, and affects cell sensitivity to deoxycholate induced autolysis | Streptococcus pneumoniae | |
additional information | repurposing of drugs known to inhibit the human isoform of ChoK (hChoK), is a promising strategy for blocking the growth of Streptococcus pneumoniae cells and inhibiting the activity of the Streptococcus pneumoniae isoform of ChoK (sChok), with downstream physiological effects on the cell wall | Streptococcus pneumoniae | |
RSM-932A | dysregulates the production of LTA, distorts the cell wall, and affects cell sensitivity to deoxycholate induced autolysis | Streptococcus pneumoniae |

General Information | Comment | Organism |

malfunction | the LTA pathway is disrupted via inhibition of sChoK with strong downstream physiological consequences affecting cell growth | Streptococcus pneumoniae |
metabolism | the sChoK enzyme is an element of the pathway that mediates the production of teichoic acids via the intermediary CDP-choline. The elements of this pathway are expressed via thelic gene locus. The LicB gene expresses a Cho transporter, which collects Cho from the external environment. LicA codes for sChoK which phosphorylates Cho into PCho. LicC is a gene coding for cytidylyl transferase which converts PCho into CDP-choline | Streptococcus pneumoniae |

physiological function | choline is not a nutritional requirement, but this pathogen does acquire choline from environmental sources and host cells, and produces phosphocholine which, in turn, are used to decorate lipopolysaccharides (LPS). Modified LPS molecules mediate pathogen-host cell interactions allowing the pathogen to evade the host immune system. Choline kinase (ChoK) plays a role in the growth and pathogenesis for humans of Gram-negative bacterium Haemophilus influenzae | Haemophilus influenzae |
physiological function | choline kinase (ChoK) phosphorylates choline into phosphocholine. Phosphocholine is important because it a precursor molecule that is utilized in the production of two types of teichoic acids, lipoteichoic acid (LTA) and cell wall teichoic acid (CTA). sChoK plays a role in the growth and pathogenesis for humans of Gram-positive bacterium Streptococcus pneumoniae. In Streptococcus pneumoniae, both acids consist of the same types of polysaccharides but LTA is attached to a lipid and embedded in the cell membrane, and CTA is attached to the peptidoglycan molecules in the cell wall. LTA is an important virulence factor and LTA production has been validated as a drug target | Streptococcus pneumoniae |
