Pyrazinamide and derivatives block ethylene biosynthesis by inhibiting ACC oxidase
Ethylene is a plant hormone that promotes fruit ripening. Here, the authors identify pyrazinamide, a drug used to treat tuberculosis, as an inhibitor of ethylene biosynthesis inArabidopsis thalianaand present the crystal structure of its active form (pyrazinecarboxylic acid) bound to ACC oxidase.
