Expression of a subset of heat stress induced genes of mycobacterium tuberculosis is regulated by 3',5'-cyclic AMP.

Expression of a subset of heat stress induced genes of mycobacterium tuberculosis is regulated by 3',5'-cyclic AMP.

Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) secretes excess of a second messenger molecule, 3',5'-cyclic AMP (cAMP), which plays a critical role in the survival of Mtb in host macrophages. Although Mtb produces cAMP in abundance, its exact role in the physiology of mycobacteria is elusive. In this st...
