Genetics of Mycobacterial Trehalose Metabolism
2 May 2014
Abstract excerpt
Trehalose [alpha-D-glucopyranosyl-(1→1)-alpha-D-glucopyranoside] is a highly abundant disaccharide in mycobacteria that fulfills many biological roles and has a plethora of possible metabolic fates. Trehalose is synthesized in mycobacteria de novo either from glycolytic intermediates or from alpha-glucans via two alternative routes, the OtsA-OtsB and the TreY-TreZ pathways, respectively. Intracellular trehalose...
