RESUMO
Isoniazid (INH), a frontline antitubercular drug, inhibits InhA, the enoyl reductase from Mycobacterium tuberculosis, by forming a covalent adduct with the NAD cofactor. Here, we report that the INH-NAD adduct is a slow, tight-binding competitive inhibitor of InhA. Demonstration that the adduct binds to WT InhA by a two-step enzyme inhibition mechanism, with initial, weak binding (K–1 = 16 ± 11 nM) followed by slow conversion to a final inhibited complex (EI*) with overall Ki = 0.75 ± 0.08 nM, reconciles existing contradictory values for the inhibitory potency of INH-NAD for InhA. The first order rate constant for conversion of the initial EI complex to EI* (k2 = 0.13 ± 0.01 min–1) is similar to the maximum rate constant observed for InhA inhibition in reaction mixtures containing InhA, INH, NADH, and the INH-activating enzyme KatG (catalase/peroxidase from M. tuberculosis), consistent with an inhibition mechanism in which the adduct forms in solution rather than on the enzyme. Importantly, three mutations that correlate with INH resistance, I21V, I47T, and S94A, have little impact on the inhibition constants. Thus, drug resistance does not result simply from a reduction in affinity of INH-NAD for pure InhA. Instead, we hypothesize that protein–protein interactions within the FASII complex are critical to the mechanism of INH action. Finally, for M161V, an InhA mutation that correlates with resistance to the common biocide triclosan in Mycobacterium smegmatis, binding to form the initial EI complex is significantly weakened, explaining why this mutant inactivates more slowly than WT InhA when incubated with INH, NADH, and KatG.
