Mycobacterium tuberculosis Origin of Replication and the Promoter for Immunodominant Secreted Antigen 85B Are the Targets of MtrA, the Essential Response Regulator
12 Mar 2010
Abstract excerpt
Efficient proliferation of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) inside macrophage requires that the essential response regulator MtrA be optimally phosphorylated. However, the genomic targets of MtrA have not been identified. We show by chromatin immunoprecipitation and DNase I footprinting that the chromosomal origin of replication, oriC, and the promoter for the major secreted immunodominant antigen Ag85B, encoded...
