An essential periplasmic protein coordinates lipid trafficking and is required for asymmetric polar growth in mycobacteria

2019-05-09

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Mycobacteria, including the human pathogen Mycobacterium tuberculosis , grow by inserting new cell wall material at their poles. This process and that of division are asymmetric, producing a phenotypically heterogeneous population of cells that respond non-uniformly to stress (Aldridge et al., 2012; Rego et al., 2017; Richardson et al., 2016). Surprisingly, deletion of a single gene – lamA – l...
