Triclosan is a broad-spectrum antibacterial agent
that inhibits bacterial fatty acid synthesis at the enoyl-acyl carrier
protein reductase (FabI) step. Resistance to triclosan in
Escherichia coli is acquired through a missense mutation in
the fabI gene that leads to the expression of FabI[G93V].
The specific activity and substrate affinities of FabI[G93V] are
similar to FabI. Two different binding assays establish that triclosan
dramatically increases the affinity of FabI for NAD+. In
contrast, triclosan does not increase the binding of NAD+
to FabI[G93V]. The x-ray crystal structure of the
FabI-NAD+-triclosan complex confirms that hydrogen bonds
and hydrophobic interactions between triclosan and both the protein and
the NAD+ cofactor contribute to the formation of a stable
ternary complex, with the drug binding at the enoyl substrate site.
These data show that the formation of a noncovalent "bi-substrate"
complex accounts for the effectiveness of triclosan as a FabI inhibitor and illustrates that mutations in the FabI active site that interfere with the formation of a stable FabI-NAD+-triclosan ternary
complex acquire resistance to the drug.
