<i>Listeria monocytogenes</i> TcyKLMN cystine/cysteine transporter facilitates glutathione synthesis and virulence gene expression
2021-09-08
Abstract excerpt
Listeria monocytogenes ( Lm ) is a saprophyte and a human intracellular pathogen. Upon invasion into mammalian cells, it senses multiple metabolic and environmental signals that collectively trigger its transition to the pathogenic state. One of these signals is the tripeptide glutathione, which acts as an allosteric activator of Lm ’s master virulence regulator, PrfA. While glutathione synthesis by Lm was show...
