BrnQ-type Branched-chain Amino Acid Transporters Influence Bacillus anthracis Growth and Virulence
S. Dutta, I. D. Corsi, N. Bier, T. M. Koehler
This study identifies BrnQ-type branched-chain amino acid transporters as critical for B. anthracis growth and virulence, showing that exogenous BCAAs are necessary for optimal growth and that transporter deletion reduces virulence in mice.
