Rv3133c/ <i>dosR</i> is a transcription factor that mediates the hypoxic response of <i>Mycobacterium tuberculosis</i>
9 Apr 2003
Abstract excerpt
Unlike many pathogens that are overtly harmful to their hosts, Mycobacterium tuberculosis can persist for years within humans in a clinically latent state. Latency is often linked to hypoxic conditions within the host. Among M. tuberculosis genes induced by hypoxia is a putative transcription factor, Rv3133c/DosR. We performed targeted disruption of this locus followed by transcriptome analysis of wild-type and...
