Porins in the cell wall of Mycobacterium tuberculosis.
Lipid bilayer experiments indicated that the cell wall of Mycobacterium tuberculosis contains at least two different porins: (i) a cation-selective, heat-sensitive 0.7-nS channel which has a short-lived open state and is probably composed of 15-kDa subunits and (ii) a 3-nS, >60-kDa channel with a long-lived open state, resembling porins from fast-growing mycobacteria.
متن کاملPorins increase copper susceptibility of Mycobacterium tuberculosis.
Copper resistance mechanisms are crucial for many pathogenic bacteria, including Mycobacterium tuberculosis, during infection because the innate immune system utilizes copper ions to kill bacterial intruders. Despite several studies detailing responses of mycobacteria to copper, the pathways by which copper ions cross the mycobacterial cell envelope are unknown. Deletion of porin genes in Mycob...
متن کاملProteomic Definition of the Cell Wall of Mycobacterium tuberculosis
The cell envelope of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) is complex and diverse; composed of proteins intermingled in a matrix of peptidoglycan, mycolic acids, lipids, and carbohydrates. Proteomic studies of the Mtb cell wall have been limited; nonetheless, the characterization of resident and secreted proteins associated with the cell wall are critical to understanding bacterial survival and immu...
متن کاملAn Insight into the Cell Wall of Mycobacterium Tuberculosis
Mycobacterium tuberculosis is the most successful pathogen of the present times.It operates via a very complex and indispensable cell wall that is responsible for the persistence and resistance of the bacteria inside the human host. Various kind of lipids are present in mycobacterial cell wall, some unique to Mycobacteriumtuberculosis and some present evenly in other mycobacteria as well. Since...
متن کاملA STUDY OF MYCOBACTERIUM TUBERCULOSIS DRUG RESISTANCE IN PULMONARY TUBERCULOSIS
Tuberculosis remains a major public health problem in both developing and developed countries. Drug-resistant tuberculosis is an increasing health problem and serious challenge to tuberculosis (TB) control programs. Information about the susceptibility pattern of Mycobacterium tuberculosis isolates against anti-tuberculosis drugs is an important aspect to TB control. The objectives of the s...
