Mitochondrion

Article Synopsis
- Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) modifies its metabolism to thrive in host cells, focusing on the protein Rv0547c, which targets the mitochondria of host cells.
- Rv0547c enhances mitochondrial membrane fluidity and respiratory capacity, independent of its predicted targeting sequence, by influencing lipid composition and fatty acid metabolism.
- The study demonstrates that Rv0547c increases Mtb's persistence during macrophage infection and helps the bacteria survive under stressful conditions by optimizing mitochondrial functions.
