Metabolite Identification
Common Name2-hydroxy-3-oxoadipate
Description2-hydroxy-3-oxoadipate is a dicarboxylic acid derivative and a key metabolite in the biochemical pathways of Mycobacterium tuberculosis, classified as a product of thiamin diphosphate (ThDP)-dependent enzymatic reactions. The synthesis of 2-hydroxy-3-oxoadipate is catalyzed by the enzyme 2-hydroxy-3-oxoadipate synthase (HOAS), which facilitates the condensation of 2-ketoglutarate and glyoxylate, resulting in the formation of this compound through a C-C bond formation mechanism (PMID:20416504 ). This metabolite plays a role in the α-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase complex, where its absence does not disrupt overall metabolic function but specifically impairs the organism's ability to manage glutamate anaplerosis and nitroxidative stress (PMID:26430237 ). The exploration of HOAS's activity and regulation has been a focus of research, highlighting its potential as a target for selective inhibitors aimed at disrupting mycobacterial metabolism (PMID:20943392 ). Studies have also examined the phenotypic variations in Mycobacterium tuberculosis strains with differing levels of HOAS expression, revealing insights into their growth dynamics and stress responses (PMID:26547230 ).
