Abstract

The stringent response of Mycobacterium tuberculosis is coordinated by Rel and is required for full virulence in animal models. A serological-based approach identified Wag31_Mtb as a protein that is upregulated in M. tuberculosis in a rel-dependent manner. This positive regulation was confirmed by analysis of M. tuberculosis mRNA expression. Mycobacterium smegmatis was used to confirm that the expression of wag31_Mtb from its native promoter is positively regulated by the stringent response. Furthermore, elevated wag31_Mtb expression in M. smegmatis drastically alters the cell-surface hydrophobic properties.
