Protein Export Systems of <i>Mycobacterium Tuberculosis</i> : Novel Targets for Drug Development?
1 Oct 2010
Abstract excerpt
Protein export is essential in all bacteria and many bacterial pathogens depend on specialized protein export systems for virulence. In Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the etiological agent of the disease tuberculosis, the conserved general secretion (Sec) and twin-arginine translocation (Tat) pathways perform the bulk of protein export and are both essential. M. tuberculosis also has specialized export pathways that...
