Abstract excerpt
The MtrAB histidine-aspartate signal transduction of mycobacteria includes the response regulator MtrA and sensor kinase MtrB. We recently showed that Mycobacterium smegmatis ΔmtrB is filamentous, defective for cell division, cell shape maintenance and shows compromised MtrA target gene expression. Interestingly, overproduction of phosphorylation competent M. tuberculosis MtrAY102C reverses the ΔmtrB mutant...
