Rv1818c‐encoded PE_PGRS protein of <i>Mycobacterium tuberculosis</i> is surface exposed and influences bacterial cell structure
29 Mar 2004
Abstract excerpt
Identification of the novel PE multigene family was an unexpected finding of the genomic sequencing of Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Presently, the biological role of the PE and PE_PGRS proteins encoded by this unique family of mycobacterial genes remains unknown. In this report, a representative PE_PGRS gene (Rv1818c/PE_PGRS33) was selected to investigate the role of these proteins. Cell fractionation studies and...
