GntR family of regulators in Mycobacterium smegmatis: a sequence and structure based characterization
23 Aug 2007
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Mycobacterium smegmatis is fast growing non-pathogenic mycobacteria. This organism has been widely used as a model organism to study the biology of other virulent and extremely slow growing species like Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Based on the homology of the N-terminal DNA binding domain, the recently sequenced genome of M. smegmatis has been shown to possess several putative GntR regulators. A...
