Ebselen attenuates mycobacterial virulence through inhibition of ESX-1 secretion
2019-11-02
Abstract excerpt
<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> The type VII secretion system ESX-1 mediates virulence in Mycobacterium tuberculosis and Mycobacterium marinum . We find that in M. marinum , the synthetic organoselenium compound ebselen inhibits secretion of ESAT-6, a major ESX-1 substrate. We find that ebselen inhibits the in vitro activity of the ESX-1 AAA+ ATPase EccA1, which potentiates ESX-1 substrate secretion and function. Ebselen m...
