Isocitrate lyase plays a key role in survival of ''M. tuberculosis'' by sustaining intracellular infections in inflammatory respiratory macrophages. Used in the citric acid cycle, isocitrate lyase is the first enzyme catalyzing the carbon conserving glyoxylate pathway. This glyoxylate pathway has not been observed in mammals and thus presents a unique drug target to solely attack TB infections. | Isocitrate lyase plays a key role in survival of ''M. tuberculosis'' by sustaining intracellular infections in inflammatory respiratory macrophages.
