Revisiting the expression signature of <i>pks15/1</i> unveils regulatory patterns controlling phenolphtiocerol and phenolglycolipid production in pathogenic mycobacteria
2020-02-20
Abstract excerpt
One of the most relevant and exclusive characteristics of mycobacteria is its cell wall, composed by mycolic acids. Amid these are two related families of glycosylated lipids, diphthioceranates and phthiocerol dimycocerosate (PDIM) and its variant phenolic glycolipids (PGL). PGL have been associated with cell wall impermeability, phagocytosis, defence against nitrosative and oxidative stress and, supposedly, biofi...
