BrnQ-type Branched-chain Amino Acid Transporters Influence <i>Bacillus anthracis</i> Growth and Virulence

2021-12-10

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Bacillus anthracis, the anthrax agent, exhibits robust proliferation in diverse niches of mammalian hosts. Metabolic attributes of B. anthracis that permit rapid growth in multiple mammalian tissues have not been established. We posit that branched-chain amino acid (BCAA: Isoleucine, leucine and valine) metabolism is key to B. anthracis pathogenesis. Increasing evidence indicates relationships...
