Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: Key players of this heme uptake system were characterized including a secreted protein and two transmembrane proteins, all three specific to mycobacteria, and the crystal structure of the key heme carrier protein Rv0203 was found to have a unique fold.
Journal ArticleDOI
Characterization of a Mycobacterium tuberculosis Nanocompartment and Its Potential Cargo Proteins

TL;DR: It is shown by co-purification and electron microscopy that mycobacteria via Mt-Enc can encapsulate Mt-DyP, Mt-BfrB, and Mt-FolB, which may aid in detoxification of the local environment to ensure long term survival.
Journal ArticleDOI
Seasonal changes in bacterial diversity in the Salton Sea
TL;DR: The Salton Sea is a large, shallow, endorheic, polymictic, saline lake in Southern California sustained by runoff from local agricultural and municipal wastewater.
Journal ArticleDOI
Advances in Mycobacterium tuberculosis Structural Genomics: Investigating Potential Chinks in the Armor of a Deadly Pathogen
TL;DR: This review compiles structures of M. tuberculosis proteins elucidated since January 2007 that are promising avenues for drug design, encompassing proteins involved with known and experimental antituberculosis drugs, metabolism, dealing with the hostile environment of the host organism, and information processing.
Journal ArticleDOI
The structural characterization of bacterioferritin, BfrA, from Mycobacterium tuberculosis
TL;DR: Electronic spectroscopy and structure determination were used to confirm varying amounts of intact bis-methionine coordinated heme to Mtb-BfrA, and it is reported that increased heme incorporation only slightly increases Mtcobacterium tuberculosisbfrA ferroxidase activity.
