Disease relevance of lysA

Diaminopimelate decarboxylase from Mycobacterium tuberculosis (LysA, DAPDC, Rv1293) has been cloned and heterologously expressed in Escherichia coli, purified using standard chromatographic techniques and crystallized [1].

High impact information on lysA

These included the superoxide dismutase sod A gene (TBS3), catalase-peroxidase katG gene (TBK1, TBK10), RNA polymerase beta-subunit rpo B gene (TBR5) and diaminopimelate decarboxylase lys A gene (TBL5) [2].
