Development of a Selective Activity-Based Probe for Adenylating Enzymes: Profiling MbtA Involved in Siderophore Biosynthesis from <i>Mycobacterium tuberculosis</i>
15 Jul 2012
Abstract excerpt
MbtA is an adenylating enzyme from Mycobacterium tuberculosis that catalyzes the first step in the biosynthesis of the mycobactins. A bisubstrate inhibitor of MbtA (Sal-AMS) was previously described that displays potent antitubercular activity under iron-replete as well as iron-deficient growth conditions. This finding is surprising since mycobactin biosynthesis is not required under iron-replete conditions and...
