    Abstract:
    Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) acyl-CoA carboxylase is involved in the biosynthesis of mycolic acids, which are a key component of the bacillus cell wall. The Mtb genome encodes six acyl-CoA carboxylase β subunits (ACCD1-6), three of which (ACCD4-6) are essential for survival of the pathogen on minimal medium. Mtb ACCD6 has been expressed, purified and crystallized. The two forms of Mtb ACCD6 crystals belonged to space groups P4(1)2(1)2 and P2(1)2(1)2(1) and diffracted to 2.9 and 2.5 Å resolution, respectively, at a synchrotron-radiation source.
