Structural highlights

Function

PKND_MYCTU Key microbial factor required for central nervous system tuberculosis. Required for invasion of host brain endothelia, but not macrophages, lung epithelia or other endothelia. Phosphorylates the anti-anti-sigma factor homolog Rv0516c, which inhibits binding of Rv0516c to Rv2638, another anti-anti-sigma factor. Can also phosphorylate the FHA domain of Rv1747.^{[1] [2] [3]}
