FunctionFGD_MYCTU Catalyzes the coenzyme F420-dependent oxidation of glucose 6-phosphate to 6-phosphogluconolactone. Is essential for the bioreductive activation of the prodrug PA-824 (nitroimidazo-oxazine) developed for anti-tuberculosis therapy against both replicating and persistent bacteria. It does not interact directly with PA-824 but, rather, provides reduced F420 to an accessory protein (Rv3547), which in turn activates PA-824. Also probably has a role in resistance to oxidative stress, via its consumption of G6P that serves as a source of reducing power to combat oxidative stress in mycobacteria.[1] [2] Evolutionary Conservation Check, as determined by ConSurfDB.

Publication Abstract from PubMedThe modified flavin coenzyme F(420) is found in a restricted number of microorganisms. It is widely distributed in mycobacteria, however, where it is important in energy metabolism, and in Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) is implicated in redox processes related to non-replicating persistence. In Mtb, the F(420)-dependent glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase FGD1 provides reduced F(420) for the in vivo activation of the nitroimidazopyran prodrug PA-824, currently being developed for anti-tuberculosis therapy against both replicating and persistent bacteria. The structure of M. tuberculosis FGD1 has been determined by x-ray crystallography both in its apo state and in complex with F(420) and citrate at resolutions of 1.90 and 1.95 A(,) respectively. The structure reveals a highly specific F(420) binding mode, which is shared with several other F(420)-dependent enzymes. Citrate occupies the substrate binding pocket adjacent to F(420) and is shown to be a competitive inhibitor (IC(50) 43 microm). Modeling of the binding of the glucose 6-phosphate (G6P) substrate identifies a positively charged phosphate binding pocket and shows that G6P, like citrate, packs against the isoalloxazine moiety of F(420) and helps promote a butterfly bend conformation that facilitates F(420) reduction and catalysis. Crystal structures of F420-dependent glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase FGD1 involved in the activation of the anti-tuberculosis drug candidate PA-824 reveal the basis of coenzyme and substrate binding.,Bashiri G, Squire CJ, Moreland NJ, Baker EN J Biol Chem. 2008 Jun 20;283(25):17531-41.
