A novel copper‐responsive regulon in Mycobacterium tuberculosis
29 Oct 2010
Abstract excerpt
In this work we describe the identification of a copper-inducible regulon in Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb). Among the regulated genes was Rv0190/MT0200, a paralogue of the copper metalloregulatory repressor CsoR. The five-locus regulon, which includes a gene that encodes the copper-protective metallothionein MymT, was highly induced in wild-type Mtb treated with copper, and highly expressed in an Rv0190/MT0200...
