Abstract
Itaconate is a mammalian antimicrobial metabolite that inhibits the isocitrate lyases (ICLs) of Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Herein, we report that ICLs form a covalent adduct with itaconate through their catalytic cysteine residue. These results reveal atomic details of itaconate inhibition and provide insights into the catalytic mechanism of ICLs. This journal is © The Royal Society of Chemistry.Entities:
