The critical role of embC in Mycobacterium tuberculosis.

Journal of bacteriology - 1 Jun 2008

Goude Renan, Amin Anita G, Chatterjee Delphi, Parish Tanya

Abstract excerpt

Arabinan polymers are major components of the cell wall in Mycobacterium tuberculosis and are involved in maintaining its structure, as well as playing a role in host-pathogen interactions. In particular, lipoarabinomannan (LAM) has multiple immunomodulatory effects. In the nonpathogenic species Mycobacterium smegmatis, EmbC has been identified as a key arabinosyltransferase involved in the incorporation of...
