Abstract:Mycobacterium tuberculosis(Mtb) has evolved sophisticated surveillance mechanisms to regulate and neutralize redox imbalances and associated lethal consequences. Failing this, the accumulated ROS induces toxicity by oxidizing a variety of biological molecules including proteins, nucleic acids and lipids. In the present study we identified Mtb’sRv0495cgene as an important regulator of oxidized cytosolic environment. Compared to wild type Mtb strain lackingthe Rv0495cgene, ΔRv0495c, had increased ROS and NAD+/NA… Show more
