Introduction
The enzyme inhA is coded from the inhA gene that is simillar in sequence to the Salmonella typhimuriumgene which plays a role in fatty acid biosynthesis [1]. Inha is an NADH dependent trans enoyl-acyl ACP carrier protein that plays a role in the sysnthesis of Mycolic Acid, and is part of a short-chain dehydrogenase/reductase family [2][3]. Mycolic acids are long chain fatty acids that are essential in cell wall formation of the human pathogen Mycobacterium tuberculosisas well as other mycobateria such as Mycobacterium leprae[4]. Inha has been propsed as the target of the thionamide drugs, ethionamide (ETH) and isoniazid (INH), which have been used in treatment of mycobacterial infections [3].
Structure of inhA
|
The overall strucuture of the inhA enzyme of Mycobacterium tuberculosisis a that of a homotetramer which is composed of a repeating subunit that consits of a single domain with two substructures that are connected by short loop[1][5].
Substructure 1 of inhA
consists of 6 parallel β strands and 4 α helices interwoven together to form a core α/β structure that contains the n-terminal domain[1]. The first substructure can be further broken down into two sections, the consisting of two β strands and two short α helicies [1]. The first section is connected to the by a β strand that crosses over the two domains, and leads into the second section initiating at the third α helix [1](A-3) is connected by a long loop to a 14 residue β strand that then leads into the fourth α helix [1]. A-4 then leads into a fifth strand β , followed by a 25 residue α helix , and into the final strand β [1].
Substructure 2 of inhA
contains the c-terminal region of the molecule and consists of a small β strand , and two α helicies which are conected by a short five residue loop[1]. The C-terminal domain consits of two other α helicies [1].
