G9a and Sirtuin6 epigenetically modulate host cholesterol accumulation to facilitate mycobacterial survival.

Cholesterol derived from the host milieu forms a critical factor for mycobacterial pathogenesis. However, the molecular circuitry co-opted by Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) to accumulate cholesterol in host cells remains obscure. Here, we report that the coordinated action of WNT-responsive histon...
