Lsr2 and Its Novel Paralogue Mediate the Adjustment of Mycobacterium smegmatis to Unfavorable Environmental Conditions
11 May 2021
Abstract excerpt
, MSMEG_1060. We found that Lsr2 plays a role in transcriptional regulation, mainly by repressing gene expression via DNA loop formation and/or DNA-coating mechanisms. Intriguingly, the number of Lsr2-mediated genes was found to increase under hypoxia. Compared to Lsr2, MSMEG_1060 exhibits a different DNA binding specificity and chromosomal localization. Since tuberculosis remains a serious worldwide health...
