EtfD links beta oxidation to OxPhos in mycobacteria - recent work suggests that targeting EtfD could shorten #tubeculosis treatment.
But how does EtfD work? And how can you assay its activity?
In his final PhD manuscript @courbongautier.bsky.social provides answers!

Pleased to highlight a new preprint from the lab. This is the work of my longtime collaborator in the lab Allison Fay, who wanated to create new tools for disocvery biology in mycobacteria, specifically a new sysem for protein localizaton and proximity proteomics.

Early reports to WHO from the 30 highest #tuberculosis (TB)-burden countries confirm that funding cuts from foreign aid, particularly from USAID, are already dismantling essential TB services.
Without urgent action, these setbacks will reverse decades of progress to #EndTB 🔗 bit.ly/4kvsu2i
