Metal ion transport and regulation in mycobacterium tuberculosis
1 Jan 2004
Abstract excerpt
The regulation of metal ion concentrations is central to the physiology of the interaction between pathogenic bacteria and their hosts. Apart from the NRAMP orthologue, MntH, metal ion transporters in Mycobacterium tuberculosis have not been studied. Mn, the physiological substrate of MntH in other bacteria, may play an important role as a structural and redox-active cofactor in a wide range of metabolic...
