ABSTRACT
The increasing prevalence of tuberculosis in many areas of the world, associated with the rise in drug-resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) strains, presents a major threat to global health. InhA, the enoyl-ACP reductase from MTB, catalyzes the nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH)-dependent reduction of long-chain trans-2-enoyl-ACP fatty acids, an intermediate in mycolic acid biosynthesis. Mutations in the structural gene for InhA are associated with isoniazid resistance in vivo due to a reduced affinity for NADH, suggesting that the mechanism of drug resistance may be related to specific interactions between enzyme and cofactor within the NADH binding site. To compare ...
