Regulation of type VI secretion gene clusters by sigma54 and cognate enhancer binding proteins.

abstract：:Secreted and cell envelope-associated proteins are important to both Mycobacterium tuberculosis pathogenesis and the generation of protective immunity to M. tuberculosis. We used an in vitro Tn552'phoA transposition system to identify exported proteins of M. tuberculosis. The system is simple and efficient, and the tr...
