Legacy Theses & Dissertations (2009 - 2024)
Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb), the causative agent of tuberculosis in humans, is an intracellular pathogen that infects millions of people every year. Mtb can survive inside the host for extended periods of time by sensing and adapting to the host environmental stressors. Transcriptional gene regulation plays a critical role in this adaptation. This dissertation focuses on understanding the structural and functional aspects of one such transcriptional regulatory unit, Cmr (Rv1675c), in Mtb.
