PknE, a serine/threonine protein kinase of Mycobacterium tuberculosis initiates survival crosstalk that also impacts HIV coinfection.

Serine threonine protein kinases (STPK) play a major role in the pathogenesis of Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Here, we examined the role of STPK pknE, using a deletion mutant ΔpknE in the modulation of intracellular signaling events that favor M. tuberculosis survival. Phosphorylation kinetics of MAP...
