Combined lactate- and phosphate-dependent cytoplasmic acidification drives Mycobacterium tuberculosis growth arrest at acidic pH

Adam P. Kibiloski, Shelby J. Dechow, Bassel J. Abdalla, Heather M. Murdoch, Anna D. Tischler, Robert B. Abramovitch

This paper identifies that lactate and phosphate together cause cytoplasmic acidification and reduced proton motive force, leading to growth arrest in Mycobacterium tuberculosis at acidic pH.

Mycobacterium tuberculosis growth arrest on propionate at acidic pH is suppressed by mutations in phoPR and pyrazinamide treatment

Heather M. Murdoch, Shelby J. Dechow, Bassel J. Abdalla, Robert B. Abramovitch

This study identifies mutations in phoPR and pyrazinamide treatment as factors suppressing Mtb growth arrest on propionate at acidic pH.

Remodeling of Mycobacterium tuberculosis lipids regulates prpCD during acid growth arrest

Jacob J. Baker, Robert B. Abramovitch

This study shows that Mycobacterium tuberculosis remodels its lipids during acid growth arrest, which regulates the expression of prpCD genes involved in detoxifying propionyl-CoA.
