Lipid mediated inhibition of Niemann-Pick C1 protein is an evolutionary conserved feature of multiple <i>Mycobacterium</i> lineages and non-tubercular mycobacteria

2021-09-06

Abstract excerpt

Mycobacterium tuberculosis ( Mtb) is the causative agent of tuberculosis (TB) and is a major cause of human morbidity and mortality. Crucially, Mtb can persist and replicate within host macrophages (MФ) and subvert multiple antimicrobial defense mechanisms. How this is achieved is incompletely understood. Previously, we reported that lipids shed by persistent mycobacteria inhibit NPC1, the lysosomal protein defi...
