EC 1.3.1.118 Details
EC number
1.3.1.118
Accepted name
meromycolic acid enoyl-[acyl-carrier-protein] reductase
Reaction
a meromycolyl-[acyl-carrier protein] + NAD+ = a trans2-meromycolyl-[acyl-carrier protein] + NADH + H+
Other name(s)
inhA (gene name)
Systematic name
meromycolyl-[acyl-carrier protein]:NAD+ oxidoreductase
Comment
InhA is a component of the fatty acid synthase (FAS) II system of Mycobacterium tuberculosis, catalysing an enoyl-[acyl-carrier-protein] reductase step. The enzyme acts on very long and unsaturated fatty acids that form the meromycolic component of mycolic acids. It extends FASI-derived C20 fatty acids to form C60 to C90 mycolic acids. The enzyme, which forms a homotetramer, is the target of the preferred antitubercular drug isoniazid.
