additional information | analysis of enzyme FR1 expression in metronidazole-susceptible isolates C1, G3, JH31A and Tv2: the highly metronidazole-resistant cell line of strain C1, C1res, and the clinical isolate B7268 lack detectable FRs. The residual FR activity found in CDC085 and LA1 likely results from alternative FRs that are highly expressed | Trichomonas vaginalis | - |

General Information | Comment | Organism |
---|---|---|
metabolism | Trichomonas vaginalis has two different enzymatic pathways to remove intracellular oxygen, i.e. NADH oxidase, which is inhibited by metronidazole, and flavin reductase | Trichomonas vaginalis |
physiological function | regarding all flavin reductase enzymes in Trichomonas vaginalis, FR1 is responsible for the flavin reductase activity. Hydrogen peroxide is the main if not the single product of FR1. FR1 displays a 10 to 20fold higher affinity to FMN than enzymes FR5 and FR6. Also the affinity of FR1 to FAD is at least 10fold higher than observed with FR5 and FR6 but the Vmax is considerably lower (roughly 33% of the Vmax for FMN). In contrast, FR5 and FR6 display higher affinity for riboflavin than FR1, which is inhibited by riboflavin | Trichomonas vaginalis |
