Thiol-dependent mycobacterial responses to oxidative and nitrosative stress

Mycothiol (MSH), produced in actinomycetes including mycobacteria, is functionally analogous to glutathione (GSH) in other organisms, replacing G S H as the main systemic protectant against oxidative stress. In this work, we investigated two possible control points in the regulation of MSH in res...
