Pathogenic mycobacteria cause chronic and acute diseases ranging from human
tuberculosis (TB) to nontubercular infections. Mycobacterium tuberculosis causes both acute …

In every bacterium, nucleoid‐associated proteins (NAPs) play crucial roles in chromosome
organization, replication, repair, gene expression, and other DNA transactions. Their central …

Bacterial pathogens use protein secretion systems to transport virulence factors and
regulate gene expression. Among pathogenic mycobacteria, including Mycobacterium …

Nucleoid‐associated proteins (NAPs) play important roles in the global organization of
bacterial chromosomes. However, potential NAPs and their functions are barely …

Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) exhibits an impressive ability to adapt to rapidly changing
environments, despite its genome's apparent stability. Recently, phase variation through …

Bacterial pathogens adapt to changing environments within their hosts, and the signaling
molecule adenosine 3′, 5′-cyclic monophosphate (cAMP) facilitates this process. In this …

PE/PPE family antigens are distributed mainly in pathogenic mycobacteria and serve as
potential antituberculosis (TB) vaccine components. Some PE/PPE family antigens can …

Nucleoid associated proteins (NAPs) are known organisers of chromosomal structure and
regulators of transcriptional expression. The number of proposed NAPs in mycobacteria are …

Bacterial pathogens use protein secretion systems to translocate virulence factors into the
host and to control bacterial gene expression. The ESX-1 (ESAT-6 system 1) secretion …

The integration host factor of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (mIHF) consists of a single
polypeptide chain, the product of the ihf gene. We previously revealed that mIHF is a novel …
