Abstract excerpt
The Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) LpqY-SugABC ATP-binding cassette transporter is a recycling system that imports trehalose released during remodeling of the Mtb cell-envelope. As this process is essential for the virulence of the Mtb pathogen, it may represent an important target for tuberculosis drug and diagnostic development, but the transporter specificity and molecular determinants of substrate...
