Phosphorylation of KasB regulates virulence and acid-fastness in Mycobacterium tuberculosis.

Phosphorylation of KasB regulates virulence and acid-fastness in Mycobacterium tuberculosis.

Mycobacterium tuberculosis bacilli display two signature features: acid-fast staining and the capacity to induce long-term latent infections in humans. However, the mechanisms governing these two important processes remain largely unknown. Ser/Thr phosphorylation has recently emerged as an important...
