Isocitrate lyase (ICL) plays a pivotal role in the persistence of Mycobacterium tuberculosis in mice by sustaining intracellular infection in inflammatory macrophages. The enzyme allows net carbon gain by diverting acetyl-CoA from beta-oxidation of fatty acids into the glyoxylate shunt pathway.
The ability of Mycobacterium tuberculosis to persist in its human host despite extensive chemotherapy is thought to be based on subpopulations of non-replicating phenotypically drug-resistant bacilli. To study the non-growing pathogen, culture models that generate quiescent organisms by either
OBJECTIVE
Screen and identify novel inhibitors of isocitrate lyase (ICL) as potent antitubercular agents against Mycobacterium tuberculosis and determine their inhibitory characteristics, antitubercular activities and mechanisms of action.
METHODS
Recombinant ICL of M. tuberculosis was expressed and
Various 3-nitropropionamides were synthesized and evaluated for in vitro activities against log and starved phase culture of two mycobacterial species and Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) isocitrate lyase (ICL) enzyme inhibition studies. Among 22 compounds,
Isocitrate lyase is important for lipid utilisation by Mycobacterium tuberculosis but its ICL2 isoform is poorly understood. Here we report that binding of the lipid metabolites acetyl-CoA or propionyl-CoA to ICL2 induces a striking structural rearrangement, substantially increasing isocitrate lyase
The enzymes isocitrate lyase (ICL) isoforms 1 and 2 are essential for Mycobacterium tuberculosis survival within macrophages during latent tuberculosis (TB). As such, ICLs are attractive therapeutic targets for the treatment of tuberculosis. However, there are few biophysical assays that are
Mexico City, Mexico.
To identify proteins synthetised by Mycobacterium tuberculosis in hypoxic culture, which resemble more closely a granuloma environment than aerobic culture, and to determine if they are recognised by antibodies from patients with active pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB).
Soluble
Isocitrate lyase (ICL) is the first enzyme involved in glyoxylate cycle. Many plants and microorganisms are relying on glyoxylate cycle enzymes to survive upon downregulation of tricarboxylic acid cycle (TCA cycle), especially Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB). In fact, ICL is a potential drug target
BACKGROUND
Isocitrate lyase (ICL) was previously demonstrated to play a pivotal role in the intracellular metabolism of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB). Presently several lines of evidence suggest that ICL from MTB (MTB-ICL) may play some roles in the interaction between MTB and host macrophage.
OBJECTIVE
To investigate the effects of isocitrate lyase (ICL) from Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB-icl) on the survival of Mycobacterium smegmatis (MS) in macrophage and illuminate the possible mechanisms.
METHODS
MTB-icl gene was amplified by PCR and cloned into Ecoli-Mycobacterium shuttle plasmid
Background and Introduction: Tuberculosis (TB) is a leading infectious disease caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosiswith high morbidity and mortality. Isocitrate lyase (MtbICL), a key enzyme of glyoxylate pathway has been shown to be involved in mycobacterial persistence, is attractive Lysine succinylation (Ksucc) is a newly identified protein posttranslational modification (PTM), which may play an important role in cellular physiology. However, the role of lysine succinylation in antibiotic resistance remains elusive. Isocitrate lyase (ICL) is crucial for broad-spectrum
Several enzymes involved in central carbon metabolism such as isocitrate lyase and phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase are key determinants of pathogenesis of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (M. tb). In this study, we found that lysine acetylation plays an important role in the modulation of central carbon
Novel 2-[3-(4-bromo-2-fluorobenzyl)-4-oxo-3,4-dihydro-1-phthalazinyl]acetic acid hydrazones were synthesized from phthalic anhydride by a six step synthesis and evaluated for in vitro, in vivo activities against eight mycobacterial species and Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) isocitrate lyase (ICL)
OBJECTIVE
To investigate the inhibitory effects of the 10-23 deoxyribozyme (DRZ) targeting ICL gene on the expression of isocitrate lyase (ICL) and the survival of Mycobacterium tuberculosis in macrophages.
METHODS
Five 10-23 DRZ targeting ICL genes (DZ1-DZ5) were designed according to the predicted
