Mtb is a diderm bacillus that is exquisitely well-adapted to its human host. In this work, we identify the lipoprotein LpqN as a periplasmic interacting partner of the mycolate transporters MmpL3 and MmpL11, and of secreted mycolyltransferases. Together, this work furthers our understanding of the bacterial physiology underlying the biogenesis of the mycobacterial cell envelope, perhaps the most critical interface between the host and pathogen. 000007716 542__ $$fIn copyright - single owner 000007716 650__ $$aVirulence$$027844 000007716 650__ $$aLipids$$021539 000007716 650__ $$aMycobacterium tuberculosis$$022570 000007716 650__ $$aLipoproteins$$021556 000007716 6531_ $$acell envelope 000007716 691__ $$aSchool of Medicine$$041369 000007716 7001_ $$aMelly, Geoff 000007716 8564_ $$944db33be-f2c7-42dd-805e-692f49d0639a$$s18570813$$uhttps://digitalcollections.ohsu.edu/record/7716/files/Melly.Geoff.2019.pdf 000007716 905__ $$a/rest/prod/34/84/zh/63/3484zh63z 000007716 909CO $$ooai:digitalcollections.ohsu.edu:7716$$pstudent-work 000007716 980__ $$aTheses and Dissertations
