Characterization of the W321F mutant of Mycobacterium tuberculosis catalase-peroxidase KatG (2002)

Yu, Shengwei, Chouchane, Salem, Magliozzo, Richard S.

A single amino acid mutation (W321F) in Mycobacterium tuberculosis catalase–peroxidase (KatG) was constructed by site-directed mutagenesis. The purified mutant enzyme was characterized using...

Conditionally replicating mycobacteriophages: A system for transposon delivery to Mycobacterium tuberculosis

Bardarov, Stoyan, Kriakov, Jordan, Carriere, Christian, Yu, Shengwei, Vaamonde, Carlos, McAdam, Ruth A., ...

Transposon mutagenesis provides a direct selection for mutants and is an extremely powerful technique to analyze genetic functions in a variety of prokaryotes. Transposon mutagenesis of Mycobacterium...

Transcriptional Control of the Iron-Responsive fxbA Gene by the Mycobacterial Regulator IdeR†

Dussurget, Olivier, Timm, Juliano, Gomez, Manuel, Gold, Benjamin, Yu, Shengwei, Sabol, Sue Z., ...

Exochelin is the primary extracellular siderophore of Mycobacterium smegmatis, and the iron-regulated fxbA gene encodes a putative formyltransferase, an essential enzyme in the exochelin biosynthetic...

Analysis of the Exochelin Locus in Mycobacterium smegmatis: Biosynthesis Genes Have Homology with Genes of the Peptide Synthetase Family

Yu, Shengwei, Fiss, Ellen, Jacobs, William R.

Mycobacteria secrete the siderophore exochelin when grown under iron-limiting conditions. In order to understand iron uptake mechanisms in mycobacteria, we have taken a genetic approach to identify...
