Methods For The Identification Of Inhibitors Of Threonine Synthase As Antibiotics

总结

The Present Inventors Have Discovered That Threonine Synthase Is Essential For Fungal Pathogenicity. Specifically, The Inhibition Of Threonine Synthase Gene Expression In Fungi Results In No Signs Of Successful Infection Or Lesions. Thus, Threonine Synthase Can Be Used As A Target For The Identification Of Antibiotics, Preferably Antifungals. Accordingly, The Present Invention Provides Methods For The Identification Of Compounds That Inhibit Threonine Synthase Expression Or Activity. The Methods Of The Invention Are Useful For The Identification Of Antibiotics, Preferably Antifungals.
