Evolutionarily divergent Mycobacterium tuberculosis CTP synthase filaments are under selective pressure
Abstract The final and rate-limiting enzyme in pyrimidine biosynthesis, cytidine triphosphate synthase (CTPS), is essential for the viability of Mycobacterium tuberculosis and other mycobacteria. Its product, cytidine triphosphate (CTP), is critical for RNA, DNA, lipid and cell wall synthesis, and i...
