Resumo |
Cyclic AMP (cAMP) has emerged as a pivotal molecule for signalling in all life forms. Mycobacterial genomes have been found to encode for numerous proteins that are involved in cAMP generation, degradation and utilization. Many of these proteins have domain organizations unique to mycobacteria. This review summarizes recent advances in mechanisms of cAMP synthesis and degradation, focusing on the processes by which cAMP modulates mycobacterial signalling. We explore its impact on the physiology of the organism and on the discourse between M. tuberculosis and its host. |
