Mycobacterium bovis, the causative agent of bovine tuberculosis, poses a significant zoonotic threat. This study defines the antibacterial activity and mechanism of the natural alkaloid isocorydine (ICD) against M. bovis using an integrated multi-omics approach. Phenotypic analyses demonstrated t...
Gene rv3722c of Mycobacterium tuberculosis is essential for in vitro growth, and encodes a putative pyridoxal phosphate-binding protein of unknown function. Here we use metabolomic, genetic and structural approaches to show that Rv3722c is the primary aspartate aminotransferase of M. tuberculosis...
