Abstract
![]()
Tuberculosis remains a leading cause of death from a single bacterial infection
worldwide. Efforts to develop new treatment options call for expansion into an
unexplored target space to expand the drug pipeline and bypass resistance to current
antibiotics. Lipoamide dehydrogenase is a metabolic and antioxidant enzyme critical for
mycobacterial growth and survival in mice. Sulfonamide analogs were previously
identified as potent and selective inhibitors of mycobacterial lipoamide dehydrogenase
in vitro but lacked activity against whole mycobacteria. Here we
present the development of analogs with improved permeability, potency, and selectivity,
which inhibit the growth of Mycobacterium tuberculosis in axenic
culture on carbohydrates and within mouse primary macrophages. They increase
intrabacterial pyruvate levels, supporting their on-target activity within mycobacteria.
Distinct modalities of binding between the mycobacterial and human enzymes contribute to
improved potency and hence selectivity through induced-fit tight binding interactions
within the mycobacterial but not human enzyme, as indicated by kinetic analysis and
crystallography.

Abstract
Significance:Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) encounters reductive stress during its infection cycle. Notably, host-generated protective responses, such as acidic pH inside phagosomes and lysosomes, exposure to glutathione in alveolar hypophase (i.e., a thin liquid lining consisting of surfactant and proteins in the alveolus), and hypoxic environments inside granulomas are associated with the accumulation of reduced cofactors, such as nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (reduced form), nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate, flavin adenine dinucleotide (reduced form), and nonprotein thiols (e.g., mycothiol), leading to reductive stress in Mtb cells. Dissipation of this reductive stress is important for survival of the bacterium. If reductive stress is not dissipated, it leads to generation of reactive oxygen species, which may be fatal for the cells. Recent Advances: This review focuses on mechanisms utilized by mycobacteria to sense and respond to reductive stress. Importantly, exposure of Mtb cells to reductive stress leads to growth inhibition, altered metabolism, modulation of virulence, and drug tolerance. Mtb is equipped with thiol buffering systems of mycothiol and ergothioneine to protect itself from various redox stresses. These systems are complemented by thioredoxin and thioredoxin reductase (TR) systems for maintaining cellular redox homeostasis. A diverse array of sensors is used by Mycobacterium for monitoring its intracellular redox status. Upon sensing reductive stress, Mtb uses a flexible and robust metabolic system for its dissipation. Branched electron transport chain allows Mycobacterium to function with different terminal electron acceptors and modulate proton motive force to fulfill energy requirements under diverse scenarios. Interestingly, Mtb utilizes variations in the tricarboxylic cycle and a number of dehydrogenases to dissipate reductive stress. Upon prolonged exposure to reductive stress, Mtb utilizes biosynthesis of storage and virulence lipids as a dissipative mechanism. Critical Issues: The mechanisms utilized by Mycobacterium for sensing and tackling reductive stress are not well characterized. Future Directions: The precise role of thiol buffering and TR systems in neutralizing reductive stress is not well defined. Genetic systems that respond to metabolic reductive stress and thiol reductive stress need to be mapped. Genetic screens could aid in identification of such systems. Given that management of reductive stress is critical for both actively replicating and persister mycobacteria, an improved understanding of the mechanisms used by mycobacteria for dissipation of reductive stress may lead to identification of vulnerable choke points that could be targeted for killing Mtb in vivo.

Abstract
Mycobacterium tuberculosis can maintain a nonreplicating persistent state in the host for decades, but must maintain the ability to efficiently reactivate and produce active disease to survive and spread in a population. Among the enzymes expressed during this dormancy is alanine dehydrogenase, which converts pyruvate to alanine, and glyoxylate to glycine concurrent with the oxidation of NADH to NAD. It is involved in the metabolic remodeling of M. tuberculosis through its possible interactions with both the glyoxylate and methylcitrate cycle. Both mRNA levels and enzymatic activities of isocitrate lyase, the first enzyme of the glyoxylate cycle, and alanine dehydrogenase increased during entry into nonreplicating persistence, while the gene and activity for the second enzyme of the glyoxylate cycle, malate synthase were not. This could suggest a shift in carbon flow away from the glyoxylate cycle and instead through alanine dehydrogenase. Expression of ald was also induced in vitro by other persistence-inducing stresses such as nitric oxide, and was expressed at high levels in vivo during the initial lung infection in mice. Enzyme activity was maintained during extended hypoxia even after transcription levels decreased. An ald knockout mutant of M. tuberculosis showed no reduction in anaerobic survival in vitro, but resulted in a significant lag in the resumption of growth after reoxygenation. During reactivation the ald mutant had an altered NADH/NAD ratio, and alanine dehydrogenase is proposed to maintain the optimal NADH/NAD ratio during anaerobiosis in preparation of eventual regrowth, and during the initial response during reoxygenation.

Abstract
Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) induces necrosis of infected cells to evade immune responses. Recently, we found that Mtb uses the protein CpnT to kill human macrophages by secreting its C-terminal domain, named tuberculosis necrotizing toxin (TNT), which induces necrosis by an unknown mechanism. Here we show that TNT gains access to the cytosol of Mtb-infected macrophages, where it hydrolyzes the essential coenzyme NAD(+). Expression or injection of a noncatalytic TNT mutant showed no cytotoxicity in macrophages or in zebrafish zygotes, respectively, thus demonstrating that the NAD(+) glycohydrolase activity is required for TNT-induced cell death. To prevent self-poisoning, Mtb produces an immunity factor for TNT (IFT) that binds TNT and inhibits its activity. The crystal structure of the TNT-IFT complex revealed a new NAD(+) glycohydrolase fold of TNT, the founding member of a toxin family widespread in pathogenic microorganisms.

Abstract
Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) is one of the most successful human pathogens. Mtb is persistently exposed to numerous oxidoreductive stresses during its pathogenic cycle of infection and transmission. The distinctive ability of Mtb, not only to survive the redox stress manifested by the host but also to use it for synchronizing the metabolic pathways and expression of virulence factors, is central to its success as a pathogen. This review describes the paradigmatic redox and hypoxia sensors employed by Mtb to continuously monitor variations in the intracellular redox state and the surrounding microenvironment. Two component proteins, namely, DosS and DosT, are employed by Mtb to sense changes in oxygen, nitric oxide, and carbon monoxide levels, while WhiB3 and anti-sigma factor RsrA are used to monitor changes in intracellular redox state. Using these and other unidentified redox sensors, Mtb orchestrates its metabolic pathways to survive in nutrient-deficient, acidic, oxidative, nitrosative, and hypoxic environments inside granulomas or infectious lesions. A number of these metabolic pathways are unique to mycobacteria and thus represent potential drug targets. In addition, Mtb employs versatile machinery of the mycothiol and thioredoxin systems to ensure a reductive intracellular environment for optimal functioning of its proteins even upon exposure to oxidative stress. Mtb also utilizes a battery of protective enzymes, such as superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (KatG), alkyl hydroperoxidase (AhpC), and peroxiredoxins, to neutralize the redox stress generated by the host immune system. This chapter reviews the current understanding of mechanisms employed by Mtb to sense and neutralize redox stress and their importance in TB pathogenesis and drug development.

Abstract
Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) is a metabolically flexible pathogen
that has the extraordinary ability to sense and adapt to the continuously changing host
environment experienced during decades of persistent infection. Mtb is
continually exposed to endogenous reactive oxygen species (ROS) as part of normal aerobic
respiration, as well as exogenous ROS and reactive nitrogen species (RNS) generated by the
host immune system in response to infection. The magnitude of tuberculosis (TB) disease is
further amplified by exposure to xenobiotics from the environment such as cigarette smoke
and air pollution, causing disruption of the intracellular
prooxidant–antioxidant balance. Both oxidative and reductive stresses induce
redox cascades that alter Mtb signal transduction, DNA and RNA synthesis,
protein synthesis and antimycobacterial drug resistance. As reviewed in this article,
Mtb has evolved specific mechanisms to protect itself against
endogenously produced oxidants, as well as defend against host and environmental oxidants
and reductants found specifically within the microenvironments of the lung. Maintaining an
appropriate redox balance is critical to the clinical outcome because several
antimycobacterial prodrugs are only effective upon bioreductive activation. Proper
homeostasis of oxido-reductive systems is essential for Mtb survival,
persistence and subsequent reactivation. The progress and remaining deficiencies in
understanding Mtb redox homeostasis are also discussed.

Abstract
Lysine biosynthesis proceeds by the nucleotide-dependent reduction of dihydrodipicolinate (DHDP) to tetrahydrodipicolinate (THDP) by dihydrodipicolinate reductase (DHDPR). The S. aureus DHDPR structure reveals different conformational states of this enzyme even in the absence of a substrate or nucleotide-cofactor. Despite lacking a conserved basic residue essential for NADPH interaction, S. aureus DHDPR differs from other homologues as NADPH is a more preferred co-factor than NADH. The structure provides a rationale-Lys35 compensates for the co-factor site mutation. These observations are significant for bi-ligand inhibitor design that relies on ligand-induced conformational changes as well as co-factor specificity for this important drug target.

Abstract
Dihydrofolate reductase from Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MtDHFR) catalyzes the NAD(P)H-dependent reduction of dihydrofolate, yielding NAD(P)(+) and tetrahydrofolate, the primary one-carbon unit carrier in biology. Tetrahydrofolate needs to be recycled so that reactions involved in dTMP synthesis and purine metabolism can be maintained. Previously, steady-state studies revealed that the chemical step significantly contributes to the steady-state turnover number, but that a step after the chemical step was likely limiting the reaction rate. Here, we report the first pre-steady-state investigation of the kinetic sequence of the MtDHFR aiming to identify kinetic intermediates, and the identity of the rate-limiting steps. This kinetic analysis suggests a kinetic sequence comprising two parallel pathways with a rate-determining product release. Although product release is likely occurring in a random fashion, there is a slight preference for the release of THF first, a kinetic sequence never observed for a wild-type dihydrofolate reductase of any organism studied to date. Temperature studies were conducted to determine the magnitude of the energetic barrier posed by the chemical step, and the pH dependence of the chemical step was studied, demonstrating an acidic shift from the pK(a) observed at the steady state. The rate constants obtained here were combined with the activation energy for the chemical step to compare energy profiles for each kinetic sequence. The two parallel pathways are discussed, as well as their implications for the catalytic cycle of this enzyme.

Abstract
For decades after its introduction, the mechanisms of action of the front-line antituberculosis therapeutic agent isoniazid (INH) remained unclear. Recent developments have shown that peroxidative activation of isoniazid by the mycobacterial enzyme KatG generates reactive species that form adducts with NAD(+) and NADP(+) that are potent inhibitors of lipid and nucleic acid biosynthetic enzymes. A direct role for some isoniazid-derived reactive species, such as nitric oxide, in inhibiting mycobacterial metabolic enzymes has also been shown. The concerted effects of these activities - inhibition of cell wall lipid synthesis, depletion of nucleic acid pools and metabolic depression - drive the exquisite potency and selectivity of this agent. To understand INH action and resistance fully, a synthesis of knowledge is required from multiple separate lines of research - including molecular genetic approaches, in vitro biochemical studies and free radical chemistry - which is the intent of this review.

Abstract
An understanding of isoniazid (INH) drug resistance mechanism in Mycobacterium tuberculosis should provide significant insight for the development of newer anti-tubercular agents able to control INH-resistant tuberculosis (TB). The inhA-encoded 2-trans enoyl-acyl carrier protein reductase enzyme (InhA) has been shown through biochemical and genetic studies to be the primary target for INH. In agreement with these results, mutations in the inhA structural gene have been found in INH-resistant clinical isolates of M.tuberculosis, the causative agent of TB. In addition, the InhA mutants were shown to have higher dissociation constant values for NADH and lower values for the apparent first-order rate constant for INH inactivation as compared to wild-type InhA. Here, in trying to identify structural changes between wild-type and INH-resistant InhA enzymes, we have solved the crystal structures of wild-type and of S94A, I47T and I21V InhA proteins in complex with NADH to resolutions of, respectively, 2.3A, 2.2A, 2.0 A, and 1.9A. The more prominent structural differences are located in, and appear to indirectly affect, the dinucleotide binding loop structure. Moreover, studies on pre-steady-state kinetics of NADH binding have been carried out. The results showed that the limiting rate constant values for NADH dissociation from the InhA-NADH binary complexes (k(off)) were eleven, five, and tenfold higher for, respectively, I21V, I47T, and S94A INH-resistant mutants of InhA as compared to INH-sensitive wild-type InhA. Accordingly, these results are proposed to be able to account for the reduction in affinity for NADH for the INH-resistant InhA enzymes.

Abstract
Dihydrodipicolinate reductase (DHPR) catalyzes the reduced pyridine nucleotide-dependent reduction of the alpha,beta-unsaturated cyclic imine, dihydrodipicolinate, to generate tetrahydrodipicolinate. This enzyme catalyzes the second step in the bacterial biosynthetic pathway that generates meso-diaminopimelate, a component of bacterial cell walls, and the amino acid L-lysine. The Mycobacterium tuberculosis dapB-encoded DHPR has been cloned, expressed, purified, and crystallized in two ternary complexes with NADH or NADPH and the inhibitor 2,6-pyridinedicarboxylate (2,6-PDC). The structures have been solved using molecular replacement strategies, and the DHPR-NADH-2,6-PDC and DHPR-NADPH-2,6-PDC complexes have been refined against data to 2.3 and 2.5 A, respectively. The M. tuberculosis DHPR is a tetramer of identical subunits, with each subunit composed of two domains connected by two flexible hinge regions. The N-terminal domain binds pyridine nucleotide, while the C-terminal domain is involved in both tetramer formation and substrate/inhibitor binding. The M. tuberculosis DHPR uses NADH and NADPH with nearly equal efficiency based on V/K values. To probe the nature of this substrate specificity, we have generated two mutants, K9A and K11A, residues that are close to the 2'-phosphate of NADPH. These two mutants exhibit decreased specificity for NADPH by factors of 6- and 30-fold, respectively, but the K11A mutant exhibits 270% of WT activity using NADH. The highly conserved structure of the nucleotide fold may permit other enzyme's nucleotide specificity to be altered using similar mutagenic strategies.

Abstract
1. The specific NAD-glycohydrolase activity is increased 70 and 50% over the normal in lung and liver tissues respectively of tuberculous mice. 2. Concomitant with the increase in the NAD-glycohydrolase activity, the NAD-isonicotinic acid hydrazide-exchange activity also is increased in infection. The isonicotinic acid hydrazide analogue of NAD formed by the lung enzyme from tuberculous mice has been isolated and identified. 3. The increased NAD-glycohydrolase activity in infection has been shown to be of host-tissue origin and not due to the activation of the bacterial enzyme on growth of the organism in vivo. 4. In addition to NAD, NMN and NADP also participate in the exchange reaction with isonicotinic acid hydrazide catalysed by NAD glycohydrolase. The interference of the drug at the nucleotide level of metabolism is therefore suggested.

Abstract
The inhA gene has been recently shown to encode a common protein target for isoniazid and ethionamide action in Mycobacterium tuberculosis. In this paper, we demonstrate that the M. tuberculosis InhA protein catalyzes the NADH-specific reduction of 2-trans-enoyl-ACP, essential for fatty acid elongation. This enzyme preferentially reduces long-chain substrates (12-24 carbons), consistent with its involvement in mycolic acid biosynthesis. Steady-state kinetic studies showed that the two substrates bind to InhA via a sequential kinetic mechanism, with the preferred ordered addition of NADH and the enoyl substrate. The chemical mechanism involves stereospecific hydride transfer of the 4S hydrogen of NADH to the C3 position of the 2-trans-enoyl substrate, followed by protonation at C2 of an enzyme-stabilized enolate intermediate. Kinetic and microcalorimetric analysis demonstrates that the binding of NADH to the S94A mutant InhA, known to confer resistance to both isoniazid and ethionamide, is altered. This difference can account for the isoniazid-resistance phenotype, with the formation of a binary InhA-NADH complex required for drug binding. Isoniazid binding to either the wild-type or S94A mutant InhA could not be detected by titration microcalorimetry, suggesting that this compound is a prodrug, which must be converted to its active form.

Abstract
Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide glycohydrolase (NADase) activity was demonstrated in the catalases fraction of Sephadex G-200-chromatographed sonic extracts of isoniazid (INH)-susceptible (Inhs) and -resistant (Inhr) Mycobacterium phlei. Since crude extracts had no demonstrable activity even after heating, active fractions of the NADase were purified chromatographically by removing the inhibitor with Sephadex G-200. Assays for oxidized nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) hydrolytic activity were done by following the disappearance of NAD+ by the methods of alcohol dehydrogenase or cyanide addition. The NADase activity was linear with respect to time as well as concentration of enzyme and was inhibited in the presence of 0.04 M NADP, benzoic acid hydrazide, or nicotinamide. Crude extracts or pooled concentrated Sephadex G-200 fractions eluting after the catalase inhibited NADase activity by at least 70%. Inhibitor activity was present in both the Inhs and Inhr strains of M. phlei. The activity of the partially purified inhibitors was reversible by INH or nicotinic acid hydrazide at levels between 10 and 100 mM. These findings indicate that an NADase inhibitor system which is sensitive to reversal by INH functions in both the Inhs and Inhr strains; however, unlike previous studies with other mycobacterial species, the enzyme is sensitive to inhibition by nicotinamide. Furthermore, the inhibitors are heat stable and sensitive to reversal by nicotinic acid hydrazide as well as INH.

Abstract
In order to elucidate the mechanism of the accumulation of considerable amounts of free nicotinic acid (NA) in the culture medium of Clostridium butylicum, this organism was investigated with regard to its ability to metabolize nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) and its immediate biosynthetic precursors, nicotinic acid mononucleotide (NAMN) and nicotinic acid adenine dinucleotide (deamido-NAD). Cell-free extracts of C. butylicum were found to degrade NAMN and deamido-NAD to NA. NAMN, in the presence of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), was converted to deamido-NAD, but only at high concentrations of ATP (20 mM) was significant synthetic activity observed in competition with NAMN degradation. Degradation of both NAMN and deamido-NAD was activated by ATP at concentrations of 5 and 10 mm. Anaerobiosis markedly enhanced the degradation of the nucleotides. The data indicate that the synthesis of NAMN and deamido-NAD prevails over their degradation only in the presence of high concentrations of ATP. NAD was degraded to nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN) by a pyrophosphatase. Phosphate markedly inhibited both the deamido-NAD and NAD pyrophosphatases. Under anaerobic conditions there was practically no further degradation of NMN to NA, whereas barely measurable amounts of NA were formed under aerobic conditions. All of these observations suggest that, under the given conditions of anaerobiosis and physiological phosphate concentrations, there is very little degradation of NAD to NMN and practically no degradation to NA by C. butylicum. Thus, NAD represents an insignificant source of the NA accumulated in the culture medium. The intermediates in the biosynthetic pathway (NAMN and deamido-NAD) have been shown to be the major source of the NA which is accumulated by C. butylicum.

Abstract
A marked difference was found to exist between the nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) glycohydrolase activity of human strains of Mycobacterium tuberculosis as compared with bovine strains. Human strains had from 6- to 20-fold higher NAD glycohydrolase activity than bovine strains. This finding explains the accumulation of free nicotinic acid in the culture medium by human strains and not by bovine strains. The biosynthetic intermediates nicotinic acid mononucleotide and deamido-NAD were not degraded by either human or bovine strains of M. tuberculosis; hence these nucleotides do not represent a source of the nicotinic acid accumulated by the human strains.

Abstract
There is a decrease in the content of nicotinamide-adenine dinucleotide of tubercle bacilli grown in the presence of isoniazid. In extracts of tubercle bacilli, the activity of nicotinamide-adenine dinucleotidase is nil or very small; after incubation with the drug the enzyme becomes active. Isoniazid also increases the activity of the enzyme after it is partially activated by heating. There may be a correlation between the capacity of isoniazid to activate the enzyme and the decrease in the dinucleotide content of the tubercle bacilli.
