BMX Kinase Enables Mtb Evasion by Modulating Lysosomal Acidi
2026-04-13
This study uncovers a novel mechanism by which Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) enhances its intracellular survival: through the secretion of Chp2, which increases BMX kinase-mediated phosphorylation of host ATP6V1E1, thereby impairing lysosomal acidification. The findings provide new insight into host-pathogen interactions and suggest that BMX kinase inhibition could be a promising avenue for host-directed TB therapies.
