Deep mutational scanning of EccD <sub>3</sub> reveals the molecular basis of its essentiality in the mycobacterium ESX secretion system
2024-08-24
Abstract excerpt
Tuberculosis remains the deadliest infectious disease in the world and requires novel therapeutic targets. The ESX-3 secretion system, which is essential for iron and zinc homeostasis and thus M. tuberculosis survival, is a promising target. In this study, we perform a deep mutational scan on the ESX-3 core protein EccD 3 in the model organism M. smegmatis . We systematically investigated the functional roles o...
