Abstract excerpt
During infection, Mycobacterium tuberculosis colonizes macrophages or necrotic granulomas, in which low pH is one of the major challenges. The PhoPR two-component regulatory system and the cytosolic redox sensor WhiB3 both play important roles in the response to low pH by M. tuberculosis However, whether close association exists between PhoPR and WhiB3 remains unclear. In this study, the positive regulation of...
