Polyphosphate kinase from M. tuberculosis: an interconnect between the genetic and biochemical role.

The enzyme Polyphosphate Kinase (PPK) catalyses the reversible transfer of the terminal γ-Pi of ATP to form a long chain Polyphosphate (PolyP). Using an IPTG inducible mycobacterial vector, the vulnerability of this gene has been evaluated by antisense knockdown experiments in M. tuberculosis. Expre...
