Secretory protein Rv1987, a ‘probable chitinase’ from <i>Mycobacterium tuberculosis</i> is a novel chitin and cellulose binding protein lacking enzymatic function

2023-08-14

Abstract excerpt

Bacterial chitinases serve to hydrolyse chitin as food source or as defence mechanism. Given that chitin is not produced by mammals, it is intriguing that Mycobacterium tuberculosis , an exclusively human pathogen harbours Rv1987, a probable chitinase and secretes it. Interestingly genes annotated as chitinases are widely distributed among Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex species, clinical isolates and other h...
