Arylamine N-Acetyltransferases from mycobacteria: investigations of a potential yarget for anti-tubercular therapy
- Abstract:
-
Reactivation of latent infection is the major cause of tuberculosis (TB). Cholesterol is a critical carbon source during latent infection. Catabolism of cholesterol contributes to the pool of propionyl-CoA, a precursor that is incorporated into cell-wall lipids.
Arylamine N-acetyltransferase (NAT) is encoded within a gene cluster that is involved in the sterol-ring degradation and is essential for intracellular survival. NAT from M. tuberculosis (TBNAT) can utilise propionyl-CoA and...
