Phosphorylation of KasB Regulates Virulence and Acid-Fastness in Mycobacterium tuberculosis
8 May 2014
Abstract excerpt
Mycobacterium tuberculosis bacilli display two signature features: acid-fast staining and the capacity to induce long-term latent infections in humans. However, the mechanisms governing these two important processes remain largely unknown. Ser/Thr phosphorylation has recently emerged as an important regulatory mechanism allowing mycobacteria to adapt their cell wall structure/composition in response to their...
