The C-terminal acid phosphatase module of the RNase HI enzyme RnhC controls rifampicin sensitivity and light-dependent colony pigmentation of Mycobacterium smegmatis.
The study identifies the C-terminal acid phosphatase domain of RnhC as critical for rifampicin resistance and pigmentation in M. smegmatis, independent of RNase HI activity.
