PE_PGRS proteins ofMycobacterium tuberculosis: A specialized molecular task force at the forefront of host–pathogen interaction
25 Jul 2020
Abstract excerpt
To the PE_PGRS protein subfamily belongs a group of surface-exposed mycobacterial antigens that in Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) H37Rv accounts to more than 65 genes, 51 of which are thought to express a functional protein. PE_PGRS proteins share a conserved structural architecture with three main domains: the N-terminal PE domain; the PGRS domain, that can vary in sequence and size and is characterized by the...
