Evolutionarily divergent Mycobacterium tuberculosis CTP synthase filaments are under selective pressure

Eric M. Lynch, Yao Lu, Jin Ho Park, Lin Shao, Justin Kollman, E. Hesper Rego

This study shows that Mycobacterium tuberculosis CTP synthase forms unique filaments that stabilize enzyme activity and resist inhibition, with mutations affecting filament formation under positive selection in clinical isolates.
