| Description: | Screening Center: Penn Center for Molecular Discovery Center Affiliation: University of Pennsylvania Network: Molecular Library Screening Center Network (MLSCN) Assay Provider: Arkady Mustaev, Public Health Research Institute, Newark, NJ Grant number: MH076325-01 DNA-directed RNA polymerase (EC 2.7.7.6) is responsible for bacterial RNA synthesis and as such is essential for bacterial gene expression. Owing to its central role in DNA transcription, the enzyme RNA polymerase is the target of various natural antibiotics. The best known is rifampicin, a potent and broad-spectrum anti-infective agent that is particularly effective against intracellular pathogens, such as Mycobacterium tuberculosis, for which it is one of the most widely used chemotherapeutic agents. However, the emergence of drug-resistant bacteria has become a major public health problem, so the discovery of novel RNA polymerase inhibitors is an important goal. A high-throughput screen was designed to discover novel in |
