A Mycobacterial Cyclic AMP Phosphodiesterase That Moonlights as a Modifier of Cell Wall Permeability
1 Oct 2009
Abstract excerpt
Mycobacterium tuberculosis utilizes many mechanisms to establish itself within the macrophage, and bacterially derived cAMP is important in modulating the host cellular response. Although the genome of M. tuberculosis is endowed with a number of mammalian-like adenylyl cyclases, only a single cAMP phosphodiesterase has been identified that can decrease levels of cAMP produced by the bacterium. We present the...
