Toxin-mediated tRNATrp depletion drives Trp-codon-dependent reprogramming in Mycobacterium tuberculosis while selectively enriching the PDIM biosynthetic machinery

Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) must adapt to host-imposed stresses that limit its growth and ability to establish an infection. One important immune-regulated host defense mechanism involves competition between host and pathogen for tryptophan (Trp). Although Mtb is a Trp proto...
