Abstract
Experiments performed using exogenous nitrate donor, sodium nitro prusside to demonstrate the role of pknE during nitrate stress showed similar apoptotic responses to that of endogenous nitrate stress in ΔpknE infected macrophages. Our data confirms the role of pknE in the intra cellular survival of M. tuberculosis by suppressing apoptosis during nitrate stress.
