Abstract excerpt

The unique cell envelope structure of Mycobacterium tuberculosis is fundamental to its pathogenesis. Phosphatidylinositol (PI)-anchored glycolipids, such as phosphatidylinositol mannosides (PIMs), lipomannan and lipoarabinomannan, are essential components of the cell envelope widely conserved among mycobacteria, but their roles in the cell envelope integrity are not fully understood. We previously identified PimE...
