摘要: The Mycobacterium tuberculosis genome was sequenced more than 15 years ago. It revealed a lot of interesting information, one which that 10% the total coding capacity M. is dedicated to PE/PPE family. There gradual expansion these proteins from nonpathogenic pathogenic mycobacteria, and there increasing evidence play important roles in mycobacterial pathogenesis. In this review, we discuss proteins, their close functional association with ESX clusters, immunomodulatory functions, virulence. addition, have attempted review compile information available literature detailing expression patterns family members different species also during infection. Our attempt has been provide succinct overview © 2015 IUBMB Life, 67(6):414–427,
