PE11, a PE/PPE family protein of Mycobacterium tuberculosis is involved in cell wall remodeling and virulence
23 Feb 2016
Abstract excerpt
The role of the unique proline-glutamic acid (PE)/proline-proline-glutamic acid (PPE) family of proteins in the pathophysiology and virulence of Mycobacterium tuberculosis is not clearly understood. One of the PE family proteins, PE11 (LipX or Rv1169c), specific to pathogenic mycobacteria is found to be over-expressed during infection of macrophages and in active TB patients. In this study, we report that M....
