Abstract:
Tuberculosis is a major threat to human health. About one third of the world's population is latently infected with Mycobacterium tuberculosis . In these cases the bacillus is in a state of low metabolic activity, making eradication difficult with conventional chemotherapy, which targets actively metabolizing organisms. The mechanisms by which M. tuberculosis reactivates to cause disease are currently unknown but a better understanding could greatly improve the treatment of tuberculosis. Resuscitation-promoting factor is a protein first identified in the supernatant of stationary phase culture

Abstract:
Tuberculosis (TB) remains the leading cause of death due to a single infectious agent with more than 1.5 million people killed each year. In 2018, the World Health Organization (WHO) estimated that one third of the world’s population was infected with Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb), the pathogen responsible for the disease.In 2000, EthR, a mycobacterial transcriptional repressor, was identified as a key modulator of ethionamide (ETH) bioactivation. ETH is one of the main second-line drugs used to treat drug-resistant strains and it is a prodrug that is activated in Mtb by the mono-oxygenase

A realidade, porÃm tem-se apresentado de modo diferente; apesar dos avanÃos no conhecimento da tuberculose e tecnologia disponÃvel para seu controle, o quadro atual encontra-se muito distante das metas estabelecidas pelos governos. à essencial o estudo dos fatores associados à tuberculose pulmonar, uma vez que eles estÃo presentes na primo-infeccÃÃo, na recidiva e na Tb pulmonar multi-resistente.

Abstract:
Mycothiol (MSH), a low-molecular- weight thiol, is a primary reducing agent and essential for the survival of mycobacteria. The full pathway of MSH biosynthesis and detoxification includes various promising drug targets. Several metalloenzymes are involved in this pathway, such as a deacetylase (MshB) and mycothiol S-conjugate amidase (MCA). MshB catalyzes the deacetylation of GlcNAc-Ins to form GlcN-Ins and acetate. Mycothiol S-conjugate amidase (MCA) cleaves the amide bond of mycothiol S-conjugates of various drugs and toxins. The identification of the native co-factor is critical for the de

Abstract:
Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb), la bactérie responsable de la tuberculose (TB), et le virus de l'immunodéficience humaine (VIH-1), l'agent du syndrome de l'immunodéficience acquise (SIDA), accélèrent leurs progressions mutuelles chez les patients co-infectés. Alors que de nombreuses données cliniques rapportent une augmentation de la charge virale dans les sites anatomiques co-infectés, les mécanismes qui en sont responsables restent insuffisamment décrits. Mtb cible principalement les macrophages. Nous émettons l'hypothèse que l'infection des macrophages par Mtb créé un microenvironnement p

Abstract:
The RNA polymerase binding protein A (RbpA) is a 13 kDa protein, encoded by the gene Rv2050, that was shown to be essential for the growth and survival of the important human pathogen Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Although is not clear yet why RbpA is essential in M. tuberculosis, significant progress has been made in the characterization of the protein. For instance, it was shown that RbpA binds to the β-subunit of the RNA polymerase (RNAP) and activates transcription. Interestingly, it was reported that RbpA can enhance the transcription activity of the RNAP containing the primary σ-subunit σ[
