Mycobacterium tuberculosis lipoprotein LprG (Rv1411c) binds triacylated glycolipid agonists of Toll-like receptor 2

Knockout of lprG results in decreased virulence of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) in mice. Mtb lipoprotein LprG has TLR2 agonist activity, thought to be dependent on its N-terminal triacylation. Surprisingly, here we find that non-acylated LprG retains TLR2 activity. Moreover, we show LprG associa...
