The unique N-terminal region of Mycobacterium tuberculosis sigma factor A plays a dominant role in the essential function of this protein
20 Jan 2023
Abstract excerpt
SigA (σ A ) is an essential protein and the primary sigma factor in Mycobacterium tuberculosis ( Mtb ). However, due to the absence of genetic tools, our understanding of the role and regulation of σ A activity and its molecular attributes that help modulate Mtb survival is scant. Here, we generated a conditional gene replacement of σ A in Mtb and showed that its depletion results in a severe survival defect in...
