The biosynthetic pathway of ubiquinone contributes to pathogenicity of <i>Francisella</i>

2021-08-05

Abstract excerpt

Francisella tularensis is the causative agent of tularemia. Because of its extreme infectivity and high mortality rate, this pathogen was classified as a biothreat agent. Francisella spp are strict aerobe and ubiquinone (UQ) has been previously identified in these bacteria. While the UQ biosynthetic pathways were extensively studied in Escherichia coli allowing the identification of fifteen Ubi-proteins to date,...
