invasive aspergillosis is a life-threatening disease mainly caused by the fungus Aspergillus fumigatus, blocking of methylcitrate synthase abrogates fungal growth and provides a suitable target for new antifungals
-
androstenedione is an important steroid medicine intermediate that is obtained via the degradation of phytosterols by mycobacteria. The production process of androstenedione is mainly the degradation of the phytosterol aliphatic side chain, which is accompanied by the production of propionyl CoA. Excessive accumulation of intracellular propionyl-CoA produces a toxic effect in mycobacteria, which restricts the improvement of production efficiency. Biotransformation at low nitrogen levels can be improved by enhancing the methylcitrate cycle with transcriptional regulators PrpR and GlnR of Mycobacterium neoaurum
drug development
the fungi-specific 2-methylcitrate cycle is responsible for detoxifying propionyl-CoA, a toxic metabolite produced as the fungus breaks down proteins and amino acids. The enzyme responsible for this detoxification is 2-methylcitrate synthase (mcsA) and is a potential candidate for the design of new anti-fungals
