Delineation of the roles of FadD22, FadD26 and FadD29 in the biosynthesis of phthiocerol dimycocerosates and related compounds in Mycobacterium tuberculosis

18 May 2010

Abstract excerpt

Phthiocerol and phthiodiolone dimycocerosates (DIMs) and phenolic glycolipids (PGLs) are complex lipids located at the cell surface of Mycobacterium tuberculosis that play a key role in the pathogenicity of tuberculosis. Most of the genes involved in the biosynthesis of these compounds are clustered on a region of the M. tuberculosis chromosome, the so-called DIM + PGL locus. Among these genes, four ORFs encode...
