Phosphoproteomics reveals new insights into the role of PknG during the persistence of pathogenic mycobacteria in host macrophages

Seanantha S. Baros‐Steyl, Kehilwe C. Nakedi, Tariq A. Ganief…·Jonathan Michael Blackburn

The paper uses phosphoproteomics to identify how PknG in mycobacteria reprograms macrophage function, revealing its role in evading immune clearance.
