Mycobacterium tuberculosis encodes a YhhN family membrane protein with lysoplasmalogenase activity that protects against toxic host lysolipids

The pathogen Mycobacterium tuberculosis (M.tb) resides in human macrophages, wherein it exploits host lipids for survival. However, little is known about the interaction between M.tb and macrophage plasmalogens, a subclass of glycerophospholipids with a vinyl ether bond at the sn-1 position of the g...
