Cutinase‐like proteins of <i>Mycobacterium tuberculosis</i> : characterization of their variable enzymatic functions and active site identification

Abstract excerpt

Discovery and characterization of novel secreted enzymes of Mycobacterium tuberculosis are important for understanding the pathogenesis of one of the most important human bacterial pathogens. The proteome of M. tuberculosis contains over 400 potentially secreted proteins, the majority of which are uncharacterized. A family of seven cutinase-like proteins (CULPs) was identified by bioinformatic analysis, expressed...
