MetabolomicsRv3400 is a phosphoglucomutase required for trehalose metabolism in Mycobacterium tuberculosis

Mycobacterium tuberculosis is a global killer causing over a million deaths from tuberculosis (TB) every year. It is therefore a major burden on human health. To reduce the deadly impact of TB, we need a better understanding of the strategies used by M. tuberculosis to adapt its...

MetabolomicsMycobacterium tuberculosis VadK required for regulation of the methylcitrate cycle and virulence

The evolution of new enzymatic functions is constrained and guided by the architecture of an organism’s metabolic and regulatory networks and environmental constraints. Here, we identify a kinase that has evolved from pyruvate phosphate dikinase. Through biochemical and systems-lev...

MetabolomicsMetabolomics profiling reveals changes in peptidoglycan and redox metabolism between ancient and modern Mycobacterium tuberculosis

Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb), the cause of tuberculosis, kills over one million people worldwide each year. Mtb is classified into ten distinct lineages, each harboring unique genetic changes that influence its survival, virulence, and transmissibility. Although metabolism plays a cr...

MetabolomicsExploiting Vitamin B6 Dependency: BVL3572S Inhibits HisC and AlaA to Kill Mycobacterium tuberculosis

Tuberculosis remains the leading cause of death from a single infectious agent worldwide, and the growing prevalence of multi-drug resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) underscores the urgent need for antibiotics with novel mechanisms of action. Here, we characterize BVL3572S, a hydroxamic a...

MetabolomicsLysine acetyltransferase Rv0998 coordinates transcriptional and metabolic adaptation of Mycobacterium tuberculosis to acidic pH

Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) survives host defences by adapting to host conditions, including acid stress, during infection. A critical survival strategy involves pH homeostasis, mediated by complex signalling systems that regulate metabolic reprogramming and stress responses. While ...

MetabolomicsMultiple acyl-coA dehydrogenase deficiency kills Mycobacterium tuberculosis in vitro and during infection

The human pathogen Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) devotes a significant fraction of its genome to fatty acid metabolism. Although Mtb depends on host fatty acids as a carbon source, fatty acid b-oxidation is mediated by genetically redundant enzymes, which has hampered the development of antitu...

MetabolomicsMycobacterium tuberculosis-derived linoleic acid increases regulatory T cell function to promote bacterial survival within macrophages

Regulatory T cells (Tregs) expand during Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) infection and suppress T cell mediated control. Whether Mtb actively contributes to this process is unclear. Here, using a genome-wide mutant library, we show that expression of Mtb Rv1272c, an ATP-binding cassette transpor...

TranscriptomicsComputational drug repositioning identifies niclosamide and tribromsalan as inhibitors of Mycobacterium tuberculosis and Mycobacterium abscessus
Tuberculosis (TB) is still a major global health challenge, killing over 1.5 million people each year, and hence, there is a need to identify and develop novel treatments for Mycobacterium tuberculosis (M. tuberculosis). The prevalence of infections caused by nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) is als...

TranscriptomicsTime course RNA-seq of Mycobacterium tuberculosis exposed to nitric oxide.
Mycobacterium tuberculosis is an intracellular human pathogen with the ability to resist and adapt to many adverse conditions it encounters upon infection. Among these, overcoming the production of nitric oxide by macrophages could be key for M. tuberculosis success. We have challenged M. tuberculo...

GenomicsThe PhoP-dependent ncRNA Mcr7 modulates the TAT secretion system in Mycobacterium tuberculosis [ChIP-Seq]
The PhoPR two-component system is essential for virulence in Mycobacterium tuberculosis where it controls expression of approximately 2% of the genes, including those for the ESX-1 secretion apparatus, a major virulence determinant. Mutations in phoP lead to compromised production of pathogen-specif...
