pyrazinamide + H2O Acinetobacter baumannii a nicotinamide prodrug. In Mycobacterium tuberculosis the enzyme converts the nicotinamide analogue prodrug pyrazinamide into the bacteriostatic pyrazinoic acid, hence the alternative name, pyrazinamidase, PncA pyrazinoic acid + NH3 a bacteriostatic drug ?

Reaction

Reaction Comment Organism Reaction ID
nicotinamide + H2O = nicotinate + NH3 the active site Cys159, conserved and essential, is located at the N-terminus of a6 at one side of the active site with the Zn2+ ion positioned on the other side. The metal ion is bound tightly in the AbPncA active site. The reaction proceeds in a four-stage mechanism via a tetrahedral and an acyl intermediate, overview Acinetobacter baumannii

General Information

General Information Comment Organism
metabolism the enzyme catalyzes the deamination of nicotinamide, which is an important step in the NAD+ salvage pathway. In Mycobacterium tuberculosis the enzyme converts the nicotinamide analogue prodrug pyrazinamide into the bacteriostatic pyrazinoic acid, hence the alternative name, pyrazinamidase, PncA Acinetobacter baumannii
physiological function the reaction product pyrazinoic acid inhibits Mycobacterium tuberculosis type I fatty acid synthase, represses mycolic acid biosynthesis, and appears to affect membrane energetics and acidification of the cytoplasm Acinetobacter baumannii
