Abstract

Current estimates indicate that nearly a third of the world's population is latently infected with Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Reduced oxygen tension and nitric oxide exposure are two conditions encountered by bacilli in vivo that may promote latency. In vitro exposure to hypoxia or nitric oxide results in bacterial stasis with concomitant induction of a 47-gene regulon controlled by the transcription factor DosR. In this report we demonstrate that both the dosS gene adjacent to dosR and another gene, dosT (Rv2027c), encode sensor kinases, each of which can autophosphorylate at a conserved histidine and then transfer phosphate to an aspartate residue of DosR. Mutant bacteria lacking both sensors are unable to activate expression of DosR-regulated genes. These data indicate that DosR/DosS/DosT comprise a two-component signaling system that is required for the M. tuberculosis genetic response to hypoxia and nitric oxide, two conditions that produce reversible growth arrest in vitro and may contribute to latency in vivo.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
