Characterisation of the structural properties and features of M. tuberculosis complex proteins linked to tuberculosis pathogenesis

The genome of Mycobacterium tuberculosis encodes for 11 pairs of Esx family proteins such as EsxA/EsxB and EsxO/EsxP that are located in pairs within the genome. Despite the clear importance of the Esx family proteins in mycobacterial virulence and pathogenesis, the precise molecular functions and m...
