Arylamine N-Acetyltransferases in Mycobacteria [PDF]
Current Drug Metabolism, 2008 Polymorphic Human arylamine N-acetyltransferase (NAT2) inactivates the anti-tubercular drug isoniazid by acetyltransfer from acetylCoA. There are active NAT proteins encoded by homologous genes in mycobacteria including M. tuberculosis, M. bovis BCG, M. smegmatis and M. marinum. Crystallographic structures of NATs from M. smegmatis and M.

Pharmacogenetics of the arylamine N-acetyltransferases [PDF]
The Pharmacogenomics Journal, 2002 The arylamine N-acetyltransferases (NATs) are involved in the metabolism of a variety of different compounds that we are exposed to on a daily basis. Many drugs and chemicals found in the environment, such as those in cigarette smoke, car exhaust fumes and in foodstuffs, can be either detoxified by NATs and eliminated from the body or bioactivated to ...

Reaction Engineering and Comparison of Electroenzymatic and Enzymatic ATP Regeneration Systems
ChemElectroChem, Volume 10, Issue 22, November 14, 2023., 2023 An electrochemically coupled ATP regeneration by pyruvate oxidase and acetate kinase for the phosphorylation of mevalonate was established and expanded by a polyphosphate kinase. The reaction was characterized and compared with other ATP regenerating systems in terms of the phosphate donor properties and biocatalytic metrics.

Clinical and Translational Science, Volume 16, Issue 7, Page 1101-1112, July 2023., 2023 Abstract Globally, tuberculosis (TB) is the second most lethal infectious disease. However, in sub‐Saharan Africa, TB has the largest disease burden, with drug‐resistant TB increasingly becoming a concern. The social and economic impact of TB should not be overlooked, especially in areas where healthcare systems are overburdened, and resources need to ...

RNAi-mediated knock-down of arylamine N-acetyltransferase-1 expression induces E-cadherin up-regulation and cell-cell contact growth inhibition. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 Arylamine N-acetyltransferase-1 (NAT1) is an enzyme that catalyzes the biotransformation of arylamine and hydrazine substrates. It also has a role in the catabolism of the folate metabolite p-aminobenzoyl glutamate.
