Transcriptional response of Mycobacterium tuberculosis to inhibition of Cytochrome bd oxidase and Cytochrome bcc:aa3 oxidase
Comparative analysis of the transcriptional response, as quantified by RNA-Seq, of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) during inhibition of the terminal cytochrome oxidases, Cytochrome bd oxidase and Cytochrome bcc:aa3. This study was designed to evaluate the efficacy if a novel small molecule inhibitor of the Cytochrome bd oxidase. Specifically, we compared the transcriptional response of Mtb during inhibition by Q203 with a Cytochrome bd deletion mutant to the transcriptional response of Mtb treated with a combination of Q203 and the purported Cytorchomre bd small molecule inhibitor (ND-011992). Overall design: Comparison of mRNA transcript levels before and after drug treatment of WT Mycobacterium tuberculosis and Cytochrome bd oxidase mutant (?CydAB). Measured before and after 6 h after treatment with Q203, ND-011992, or combination. Biological replicates: 3.
