malfunction | GlmUMtb depletion perturbs cell wall structure and affects the bacterial survival in normoxia, overview | Mycobacterium tuberculosis |
physiological function | absence of GlmU leads to extensive perturbation of bacterial morphology and substantial reduction in cell wall thickness under normoxic as well as hypoxic conditions. The acetyl- and uridyl-transferase activities of GlmU are independently essential for bacterial survival in vitro, and GlmU is also essential for mycobacterial survival in THP-1 cells as well as in guinea pigs. Depletion of GlmU from infected murine lungs, four weeks post infection, leads to significant reduction in the bacillary load | Mycobacterium tuberculosis |
