Forms, with FadD32, the initiation module of the mycolic condensation system (PubMed:19436070, PubMed:19477415, PubMed:25467124). Synthesizes, in coupled reaction with FadD32, the biosynthetic precursors of mycolic acids, alpha-alkyl beta-ketoacids, via the condensation of two long chain fatty acid derivatives, a very long meromycoloyl-AMP and a shorter 2-carboxyacyl-CoA (PubMed:19436070, PubMed:25467124). The acyl chain of the acyl-AMP produced by FadD32 is specifically transferred onto the N-terminal ACP domain of Pks13, and then transferred onto the KS domain. The extender unit carboxyacyl-CoA is specifically loaded onto the AT domain, which catalyzes the covalent attachment of the carboxyacyl chain to its active site, and its subsequent transfer onto the P-pant arm of the C-terminal ACP domain. The KS domain catalyzes the condensation between the two loaded fatty acyl chains to produce an alpha-alkyl beta-ketothioester linked to the C-ACP domain (PubMed:19436070). Then, the thioesterase-like domain acts as a transacylase and is responsible for both the release and the transfer of the alpha-alkyl beta-ketoacyl chain onto a polyol acceptor molecule, particularly trehalose, leading to the formation of the trehalose monomycolate precursor (PubMed:25467124). Publication Abstract from PubMed Widespread resistance to first-line TB drugs is a major problem that will likely only be resolved through the development of new drugs with novel mechanisms of action. We have used structure-guided methods to develop a lead molecule that targets the thioesterase activity of polyketide synthase Pks13, an essential enzyme that forms mycolic acids, required for the cell wall of Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Our lead, TAM16, is a benzofuran class inhibitor of Pks13 with highly potent in vitro bactericidal activity against drug-susceptible and drug-resistant clinical isolates of M. tuberculosis. In multiple mouse models of TB infection, TAM16 showed in vivo efficacy equal to the first-line TB drug isoniazid, both as a monotherapy and in combination therapy with rifampicin. TAM16 has excellent pharmacological and safety profiles, and the frequency of resistance for TAM16 is approximately 100-fold lower than INH, suggesting that it can be developed as a new antitubercular aimed at the acute infection.
