Abstract excerpt
The first FDA approved, MDR-TB inhibitory drug bedaquiline (BDQ), entraps the c-ring of the proton-translocating F0 region of enzyme ATP synthase of Mycobacterium tuberculosis, thus obstructing successive ATP production. Present-day BDQ-resistance has been associated with cardiotoxicity and mutation(s) in the atpE gene encoding the c subunit of ATP synthase (ATPc) generating five distinct ATPc mutants: Ala63→Pro,...
