Chemically Induced Alanine Auxotrophy of Mycobacterium tuberculosis

Listed in NCBI GEO

Utilizing a novel computational chemogenomics method to discover new antitubercular compounds, a hit compound designated TI-374 was identified with a minimal inhibitory concentration of 540 nM against M. tuberculosis H37Rv.

Description

To investigate the mechanism of action, transcriptional profiling of treated cultures was conducted by RNA-seq. Combined with computational chemogenomic target prediction, metabolomic analysis of treated cultures, nutritional suppression experiments, activity in biochemical assays against purified protein, and whole-genome sequencing of resistant mutants, this transcriptomic data is consistent with a novel mechanism of action whereby TI-374 inhibits the alanine aminotransferase annotated as aspC.

This activity interferes with alanine biosynthesis, which is required for growth of the pathogen.
