Export of Recombinant Mycobacterium tuberculosisSuperoxide Dismutase Is Dependent upon Both Information in the Protein and Mycobacterial Export Machinery
1 Feb 1999
Abstract excerpt
We have investigated the expression and extracellular release of enzymatically active superoxide dismutase, one of the 10 major extracellular proteins of Mycobacterium tuberculosis, both in its native host and in the heterologous host Mycobacterium smegmatis. We found that the M. tuberculosis superoxide dismutase gene, encoding a leaderless polypeptide of Mr approximately 23,000 representing one of the four...
