Structural And Biophysical Analysis Of The Regulatory Mechanism Of Mycobacterium Tuberculosis Sigma Factors
(2010-12-07)
Mycobacterium tuberculosis has one ribosomal RNA operon. The survival of this bacillus thus depends on a transcription mechanism that can effectively couple gene expression to changes in the environment. σ factors are ...
Stringent Response In Mycobacteria: Molecular Dissection Of Rel
(2007-11-29)
Adaptation to any undesirable change in the environment dictates the survivability of many microorganisms. Such changes generate a quick and suitable response, which guides the physiology of bacteria. Stringent response ...
A Systems Biology Approach towards Understanding Host Response and Pathogen Adaptation in Latent Tuberculosis Infection
(2018-01-04)
Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the etiological agent of tuberculosis, has adapted with the host environment and evolved to survive in harsh conditions in the host. The pathogen has successfully evolved strategies not only to ...
Mechanistic And Regulatory Aspects Of The Mycobacterium Tuberculosis Dephosphocoenzyme A Kinase
(2013-09-11)
The current, grim world-TB scenario, with TB being the single largest infectious disease
killer, warrants a more effective approach to tackle the deadly pathogen, Mycobacterium
tuberculosis. The deadly synergy of this ...
Structural and Functional Studies on the Mycobacterium tuberculosis σ factor σJ
(2018-05-21)
Regulation of transcription in prokaryotes is primarily governed at the transcription initiation step. This feature has been extensively characterized in model prokaryotes notably Escherichia coli and Bacillus subtilis. ...
Understanding the Regulatory Steps that Govern the Activation of Mycobacterium Tuberculosis σK
(2018-07-28)
A distinctive feature of host-pathogen interactions in the case of Mycobacterium tuberculosis is the asymptomatic latent phase of infection. The ability of the bacillus to survive for extended periods of time in the host ...

Structural Studies On Mycobacterium Tuberculosis Pantothenate Kinase (PanK)
(2011-07-18)
Pantothenate kinase (PanK) is an ubiquitous and essential enzyme that catalyzes the first step in the universal Coenzyme (CoA) biosynthesis pathway. In this step, pantothenate (Vitamin B5) is converted to 4′-phosphopantothenate, ...
