WhiB6 regulation of ESX-1 gene expression is controlled by a negative feedback loop in Mycobacterium marinum
27 Nov 2017
Abstract excerpt
Significance Mycobacteria use ESX systems to transport protein substrates across the cytoplasmic membrane. The ESX-1 system is required for mycobacterial pathogenesis in Mycobacterium tuberculosis ( M. tb ), the cause of tuberculosis (TB). Differences in the expression of genes encoding ESX substrates directly impacts M. tb transmission and virulence. Deletion of genes encoding ESX exporters results in reduced...
