Analysis of the Phthiocerol Dimycocerosate Locus ofMycobacterium tuberculosis

1 Jan 2001

Abstract excerpt

Among the few characterized genes that have products involved in the pathogenicity of Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the etiological agent of tuberculosis, are those of the phthiocerol dimycocerosate (DIM) locus. Genes involved in biosynthesis of these compounds are grouped on a 50-kilobase fragment of the chromosome containing 13 genes. Analysis of mRNA produced from this 50-kilobase fragment in the wild type...
