Project description:We employed a proteogenomics workflow to identify microproteins encoded by small Open Reading Frames (ORFs) in the genome of Mycobacterium smegmatis strain mc²155.
Project description:Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) displayed cording phenotypes during intracellular infection. RNA-Seq was used to identify transcriptional programmes expressed by hLEC that actviates pathways relating to cellular pro-survival and cyosolic surveillance of intracellular Mtb. Mtb cording was found to be a mechanism to evade xenophagy in the cytosol of endothelial cells.
