| Abstract | Mycobacterium tuberculosis profoundly exploits protein phosphorylation events carried out by serine/threonine protein kinases (STPKs) for its survival and pathogenicity. Forkhead-associated domains (FHA), the phosphorylation-responsive modules, have emerged as prominent players in STPK mediated signaling. In this study, we demonstrate the association of the previously uncharacterized FHA domain-containing protein Rv0019c with cognate STPK PknB. The consequent phosphorylation of Rv0019c is shown to be dependent on the conserved residues in the Rv0019c FHA domain and activation loop of PknB. Furthermore, by creating deletion mutants we identify Thr(36) as the primary phosphorylation site in Rv0019c. During purification of Rv0019c from Escherichia coli, the E. coli protein chloramphenicol acetyltransferase (CAT) specifically and reproducibly copurifies with Rv0019c in a FHA domain-dependent manner. On the basis of structural similarity of E. coli CAT with M. tuberculosis PapA5, a protein involved in phthiocerol dimycocerosate biosynthesis, PapA5 is identified as an interaction partner of Rv0019c. The interaction studies on PapA5, purified as an unphosphorylated protein from E. coli, with Rv0019c deletion mutants reveal that the residues N-terminal to the functional FHA domain of Rv0019c are critical for formation of the Rv0019c-PapA5 complex and thus constitute a previously unidentified phosphoindependent binding motif. Finally, PapA5 is shown to be phosphorylated on threonine residue(s) by PknB, whereas serine/threonine phosphatase Mstp completely reverses the phosphorylation. Thus, our data provides initial clues for a possible regulation of PapA5 and hence the phthiocerol dimycocerosate biosynthesis by PknB, either by direct phosphorylation of PapA5 or indirectly through Rv0019c. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
