Mycobacterial resistance to zinc poisoning requires assembly of P-ATPase-containing membrane metal efflux platforms

The human pathogen Mycobacterium tuberculosis requires a metal exporter, CtpC, for resistance to zinc poisoning. Here, the authors show that zinc resistance also depends on a chaperone-like protein that binds zinc ions, forms high-molecular-weight complexes with CtpC in the cytoplasmic membrane, and...
