Gene knockout reveals a novel gene cluster for the synthesis of a class of cell wall lipids unique to pathogenic mycobacteria.

The Journal of biological chemistry - 4 Jul 1997

Azad A K, Sirakova T D, Fernandes N D, Kolattukudy P E

Abstract excerpt

Surface-exposed unusual lipids containing phthiocerol and phenolphthiocerol are found only in the cell wall of slow-growing pathogenic mycobacteria and are thought to play important roles in host-pathogen interaction. The enzymology and molecular genetics of biosynthesis of phthiocerol and phenol...
