Characterization of MenA (isoprenyl diphosphate:1,4-dihydroxy-2-naphthoate isoprenyltransferase) from Mycobacterium tuberculosis

The menaquinone biosynthetic pathway presents a promising drug target against Mycobacterium tuberculosis and potentially other Gram-positive pathogens. In the present study, the essentiality, steady state kinetics of MenA from M. tuberculosis and the mechanism of MenA inhibition by Ro 48–8071 were c...
