Sample Preparation

The long term goal of this NIH NIAID funded project is to gain a mechanistic understanding of Mycobacterium tuberculosis proteostasis as exemplified by the Mtb Pup-proteasome system and the Mtb DnaK-ClpB system, and to use the structure-function knowledge to develop anti-TB agents.

Cryo-EM structure of the Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) ClpB hexamer. No high-resolution structure exits in literature for a hexameric protein dis-aggregating ATPase. We study this protein and its inhibitor development in the context of Mtb proteo-stasis, which encompasses protein degradation by the Mtb Pup-proteasome system, and the protein rescue/disaggregation system the Mtb DnaK-ClpB system. Mtb survives in the hash environment of its host immune cells the macrophage by fine tuning the two systems
