The protein kinase inhibitor 1-(5-isoquinolinesulfonyl)-2-methylpiperazine (H7) was found to inhibit the growth of two different mycobacterial strains, the slow-growing Mycobacterium bovis Bacille Calmette Guerin (BCG) and the fast-growing saprophyte Mycobacterium...

Mycothiol is a novel thiol produced only by actinomycetes and is the major low-molecular-weight thiol in mycobacteria. Mycothiol was previously shown to be synthesized from 1-D-myo-inosityl-2-amino-2-deoxy-alpha-D-glucopyranoside by ligation with cysteine...

In this report we show that fast-growing non-pathogenic mycobacteria degrade cholesterol from liquid media, and are able to grow on cholesterol as a sole carbon source. In contrast, slow-growing mycobacteria,...

Mycothiol, 1-D-myo-inosityl-2-(N-acetylcysteinyl)amido-2-deoxy-alpha-D-glucopyranoside (MSH), is composed of N-acetylcysteine (AcCys) amide linked to 1-D-myo-inosityl-2-amino-2-deoxy-alpha-D-glucopyranoside (GlcN-Ins) and is the major thiol produced by most actinomycetes. When Mycobacterium smegmatis was treated with the alkylating...

PMID: 10785641
In bacteria, extracellular signals are generally transduced into cellular responses via a two-component system. However, genome sequence data have now revealed the presence of 'eukaryotic-like' protein kinases and phosphatases. Mycobacterium...
