ARYLAMINE N-ACETYLTRANSFERASE FROM MYCOBACTERIUM SMEGMATIS WITH THE ANTI-TUBERCULAR DRUG ISONIAZID BOUND IN THE ACTIVE SITE.
Overview
Isoniazid is a frontline drug used in the treatment of tuberculosis (TB)., Isoniazid is a prodrug, requiring activation in the mycobacterial cell by, the catalase/peroxidase activity of the katG gene product. TB kills two, million people every year and the situation is getting worse due to the, increase in prevalence of HIV/AIDS and emergence of multidrug-resistant, strains of TB. Arylamine N-acetyltransferase (NAT) is a drug-metabolizing, enzyme (E.C. 2.1.3.5). NAT can acetylate isoniazid, transferring an acetyl, group from acetyl coenzyme A onto the terminal nitrogen of the drug, which, in its N-acetylated form is therapeutically inactive. The bacterium, responsible for TB, Mycobacterium tuberculosis, contains and expresses the, gene encoding the NAT protein. Isoniazid binds to the NAT ... [(full description)]
