| dcterms.abstract | Two lipoproteins, MtbLprG and MtbLprA, have been characterized as TLR2 agonists. Knockout of the lprG operon (lprG-rv1410c) results in decreased virulence of M. tb. While their importance for host-pathogen interactions has been the subject of numerous studies, the physiological functions of LprG and LprA are not known. We present here data towards elucidating the physiological functions of LprG and LprA, both in M. tb and M. smegmatis, including localization, binding affinity to respective ligands, as well as the phenotype of knockout strains, which will contribute a model for lipid transport through the cell wall. | |
