Mycobacterium tuberculosis modulates NUDT21-mediated alternative polyadenylation to enhance FTH1 expression in macrophages and promotes intracellular growth

Ferritin heavy chain 1 (FTH1) is a key iron-storage protein that regulates iron availability, supports immune defense, and prevents iron-induced toxicity. During Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) infection, macrophages enhance FTH1 expression to sequestrate iron and limit Mtb growth. However, Mtb can...
