Abstract excerpt
Dodecin is a dodecamer involved in flavin homeostasis, with interesting temperature and osmolarity endurance features in Mycobacterium tuberculosis. A single nucleotide polymorphism in the gene's start codon in BCG, converting ATG to ACG, is predicted to generate a N-terminal shorter isoform, lacking the first 7 amino acids. We previously reported that the shortened recombinant protein has reduced extremophilic...
