Phosphorylation of KasB Regulates Virulence and Acid-Fastness in Mycobacterium tuberculosis

Mycobacterium tuberculosis bacilli display two signature features: acid-fast staining and the capacity to induce long-term latent infections in humans. However, the mechanisms governing these two important processes remain largely unknown. Ser/Thr phosphorylation has recently emerged as an importan...
