Elimination of PknL and MSMEG_4242 in Mycobacterium smegmatis alters the character of the outer cell envelope and selects for mutations in Lsr2

Four serine/threonine kinases are present in all mycobacteria: PknA, PknB, PknG and PknL. PknA and PknB are essential for growth and replication, PknG regulates metabolism, but little is known about PknL. Inactivation of pknL and adjacent regulator MSMEG_4242 in rough colony M. smegmatis mc2155 prod...
