We recently reported that both Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron BtGH146 and Bifidobacterium longum HypBA1 are inhibited by β-l-arabinofuranosyl cyclophellitol epoxide, supporting the action of a zinc-coordinated cysteine as a catalytic nucleophile, where in most retaining GH families, an aspartate or glutamate is employed. This work presents a panel of β-l-arabinofuranosyl cyclophellitol epoxides and aziridines as mechanism-based BtGH146/HypBA1 inhibitors and activity-based probes. The β-l-arabinofuranosyl cyclophellitol aziridines both inhibit and label β-l-arabinofuranosidase efficiently (however with different activities), whereas the epoxide-derived probes favor BtGH146 over HypBA1. These findings are accompanied by X-ray structural analysis of the unmodified β-l-arabinofuranosyl cyclophellitol aziridine in complex with both isozymes, which were shown to react by nucleophilic opening of the aziridine, at the pseudoanomeric carbon, by the active site cysteine nucleophile to form a stable thioether bond. Altogether, our activity-based probes may serve as chemical tools for the detection and identification of low-abundance β-l-arabinofuranosidases in complex biological samples.	Dec 2023
