摘要

The regulation of heat shock protein (HSP) expression is critically important to pathogens such asMycobacterium tuberculosisand dysregulation of the heat shock response results in increased immune recognition of the bacterium and reducedsurvival during chronic infection. In this study we use a whole genome spottedmicroarray to characterize the heat shock response ofM. tuberculosis. We also begin a dissection of this important stress response by generating deletion mutants that lackspecific transcriptional regulators and examining their transcriptional profiles underdifferent stresses. Understanding the stimuli and mechanisms that govern heat shockin mycobacteria will allow us to relate observedin vivoexpression patterns of HSPsto particular stresses and physiological conditions. The mechanisms controlling HSPexpression also make attractive drug targets as part of a strategy designed to enhanceimmune recognition of the bacterium.
