Abstract excerpt
Transcriptional regulation plays a critical role in the life cycle of Mycobacterium smegmatis and its related species, M. tuberculosis, the causative microbe for tuberculosis. However, the key transcriptional factors involved in broad regulation of diverse genes remain to be characterized in mycobacteria. In the present study, a TetR-like family transcriptional factor, Ms6564, was characterized in M. smegmatis as...
