Replacement of Mycobacterium smegmatis dnaA gene by Mycobacterium tuberculosis homolog results in temperature sensitivityMurty Madiraju
The University of Texas Health Science Center, 11937 US Hwy 271, Tyler, TX 75703, United States
Tuberculosis (Edinb) 91:S136-41. 2011..Our results suggest that Mtb DnaA functions as a partially active protein in M. smegmatis, hence is not as proficient as M. smegmatis counterpart in optimally driving the M. smegmatis oriC replication machinery...

Department of Biochemistry, The University of Texas Health Center at Tyler, 75708-3154, USA
J Bacteriol 184:3848-55. 2002..tuberculosis strains have evolved mechanisms to tolerate mutations in the oriC region and that functional requirements for M. tuberculosis oriC replication are different for chromosomes and plasmids... - Genetic evidence that mycobacterial FtsZ and FtsW proteins interact, and colocalize to the division site in Mycobacterium smegmatisMalini Rajagopalan
