A Novel Calcium Uptake Transporter of Uncharacterized P-Type ATPase Family Supplies Calcium for Cell Surface Integrity in <italic toggle="yes">Mycobacterium smegmatis</italic>

ABSTRACT Ca2+ plays an important role in the physiology of bacteria. Intracellular Ca2+ concentrations are tightly maintained in the nanomolar range. Molecular mechanisms of Ca2+ uptake in bacteria remain elusive. Here we show that CtpE is responsible for Ca2+ uptake in Mycobacterium smegmatis. It r...
