Abstract excerpt
EthA is an NADPH-specific flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD) containing monooxygenase that activates the -second-line drug ethionamide (ETH). ETH gets converted to an active form after interaction with the EthA (monooxygenase) protein. Upon activation, ETH interacts with NAD+ to form an ETH-NAD adduct, which hampers the activity of InhA (Enoyl-[(acyl-carrier-protein) reductase (NADH)]. This, in turn, inhibits the...
