The mycobacterial glycoside hydrolase LamH enables capsular arabinomannan release and stimulates growth

A. Franklin, A. J. Layton, T. Mize, V. C. Salgueiro, R. Sullivan, S. T. Benedict, S. S. Gurcha, I. Anso, G. S. Besra, M. Banzhaf, A. L. Lovering, S. J. Williams, M. E. Guerin, N. E. Scott, R. Prados-Rosales, , P. J. Moynihan

This study identifies LamH, a glycoside hydrolase that cleaves -1,6-mannoside linkages in LAM/LM, enabling their export to the capsule and promoting bacterial growth.

The hydrolase LpqI primes mycobacterial peptidoglycan recycling.

P. J. Moynihan, I. T. Cadby, N. Veerapen, M. Jankute, M. Crosatti, G. Mukamolova, A. L. Lovering, G. S. Besra

This study shows that Mycobacterium tuberculosis and M. bovis BCG recycle peptidoglycan via the LpqI enzyme, which is essential for amino sugar recycling and affects antimicrobial resistance.
