In this work we describe a high-throughput screening approach based on electrospray ionization−Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry (ESI-FTICR) that rapidly interrogates the noncovalent interaction between RNA-based drug targets and components derived from a bacterial natural product library. The screening process detects molecules present in the natural product library that bind to a synthetic RNA target that mimics the prokaryotic 16S rRNA A-site, while simultaneously measuring specificity for the synthetic A-site target using a control RNA target that lacks the critical structural element of the A-site construct. This screening approach known as multitarget affinity/specificity screening (MASS) demonstrated the expected binding of paromomycin from a fractionated natural product library derived from Streptomyces rimosus sp. paromomycinus. A new molecule was observed to bind with specificity to the 16S A-site RNA construct. MS/MS characterization of this species yielded partial structural information suggesting it is an aminoglycoside consisting of a paromomycin core with one or more modified rings. This work demonstrates the tremendous utility of MASS for screening natural product fractions against macromolecular targets. |
