CpsA, a LytR-CpsA-Psr Family Protein in Mycobacterium marinum, Is Required for Cell Wall Integrity and Virulence
5 May 2015
Abstract excerpt
LytR-CpsA-Psr family proteins play an important role in bacterial cell wall integrity. Although the pathogenic relevance of LytR-CpsA-Psr family proteins has been studied in a few bacterial pathogens, their function in mycobacteria remains uncharacterized. In this work, a transposon insertion mutant (cpsA::Tn) of Mycobacterium marinum was studied. We found that inactivation of CpsA altered bacterial colony...
