We have constructed an oncolytic adenovirus expressing the Escherichia coli nitroreductase gene nfsB from an internal ribosome entry site (IRES) in the adenovirus L5 major late transcript. The virus (Tcf-NTR) has Tcf transcription factor-binding sites in the E1A, E1B, and E4 promoters, which restrict viral replication to cells that have activation of the Wnt signaling pathway. This virus was co...

Understanding the functions of enzymes in various physiological processes is important, but design signaling probes for fast analysis enzymatic activity particularly challenging. Herein, a fluorescence-enhanced probe, 10-methyl-2-nitro-acridone (MNA), was synthesized and applied to analyze nitroreductase (NTR) vitro vivo . The detection mechanism based on nitro group MNA reacting toward NTR wit...

Tuberculosis is still a leading cause of death worldwide. The selection and spread of Mycobacterium tuberculosis multidrug-resistant (MDR-TB) and extensively drug-resistant strains (XDR-TB) is a severe public health problem. Recently, two different classes of chemical series, the benzothiazinones (BTZ) and the dinitrobenzamide (DNB) derivatives have been found to be highly active against M. tub...

The relative importance of the frxA and rdxA nitroreductase genes of Helicobacter pylori in metronidazole (MTZ) susceptibility and resistance has been controversial. Jeong et al. (J. Bacteriol. 182:5082--5090, 2000) had interpreted that Mtz(s) H. pylori were of two types: type I, requiring only inactivation of rdxA to became resistant, and type II, requiring inactivation of both rdxA and frxA t...

The nitroheterocycle nifurtimox, as part of a nifurtimox-eflornithine combination therapy, represents one of a limited number of treatments targeting Trypanosoma brucei, the causative agent of human African trypanosomiasis. The mode of action of this prodrug involves an initial activation reaction catalyzed by a type I nitroreductase (NTR), an enzyme found predominantly in prokaryotes, leading ...

MX100 is an Escherichia coli K12 genotoxicity tester strain, especially developed for mechanistic studies of chemical mutagens and carcinogens. For the study of the role of specific enzymes in the bioactivation and bioinactivation of carcinogens, it is necessary to characterize MX100 as far as its metabolic bio(in)activation capacities are concerned. In this study such a characterization is per...
