The antagonistic transcription factors, EspM and EspN, regulate the ESX-1 secretion system in <i>M. marinum</i>
2024-01-10
Abstract excerpt
Bacterial pathogens use protein secretion systems to transport virulence factors and regulate gene expression. Among pathogenic mycobacteria, including Mycobacterium tuberculosis and Mycobacterium marinum, ESX-1 (ESAT-6 system 1) secretion is crucial for host interaction. Secretion of protein substrates by the ESX-1 secretion system disrupts phagosomes, allowing mycobacteria cytoplasmic access during macrophage...
