Abstract excerpt
The absence of a histidine biosynthesis pathway in humans, coupled with histidine essentiality for survival of the important human pathogen Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb), underscores the importance of the bacterial enzymes of this pathway as major antituberculosis drug targets. However, the identity of the mycobacterial enzyme that functions as the histidinol phosphate phosphatase (HolPase) of this pathway...
