The Mycobacterium tuberculosis cmaA2 gene encodes a mycolic acid trans-cyclopropane synthetase.

The Journal of biological chemistry - 19 Jan 2001

Glickman M S, Cahill S M, Jacobs W R

Abstract excerpt

Infection with Mycobacterium tuberculosis remains a major global health emergency. Although detailed understanding of the molecular events of M. tuberculosis pathogenesis is still limited, recent genetic analyses have implicated specific lipids of the cell envelope as important effectors in M. tuberculosis pathogenesis. We have shown that pcaA, a novel member of a family of M. tuberculosis S-adenosyl methionine...
