Mycobacterium tuberculosis expresses universal stress proteins (USPs) when its growth is retarded by oxygen depletion. This class of proteins is emerging as being important in the resistance of bacteria to stress and prolonged growth arrest. Here we assess the properties of USPs and their relevance to mycobacteria.
结核分枝杆菌在因氧气耗尽而生长受阻时会表达通用应激蛋白（USPs）。这类蛋白质在细菌对压力的抗性和长期生长停滞方面正变得越来越重要。在这里，我们评估了通用应激蛋白的特性及其与分枝杆菌的相关性。
