Model | Method of study | Selected genes upregulated during dormancy | Ref |
---|---|---|---|
Hypoxia | qPCR | Dormancy regulon gene- devR, acr, tgs1
fad26 gene required for cell wall lipid phthioceroldimycocerosate’s (PDIM) synthesis Sigma factors- sigB, SigE, rpoB, (trxB1)- for antioxidant defense Hexose monophosphate shunt (HMP) for maintaining carbon homeostasis during dormancy narX is a nitrate reductase involved in anaerobic respiration. |
(Iona et al., 2016) |
Hypoxia | RNA-seq |
DosRST, MprAB- two-component systemalternative sigma factors SigE, SigH icl-1- with role in glyoxylate shunt pathway, methylcitrate lyase, KstR regulated genes involved in lipid degradation and cholesterol catabolism Mce transport systems: encodes ABC transporters involved in lipid transportation and utilization. |
(Du et al., 2016) |
Lung from Mice model- Balb/c and SCID were compared with invitro grown bacterium under hypoxic conditions | Micro array | Core in-vivo regulated genes with role in dormancy were found to be rubB, dinF, and fdxA. In-vitro regulated genes-cstA (carbon starvation-induced stress response protein), cysW (sulfate transport system permease protein), Rv3383c (transferase involved in lipid biosynthesis), sigJ and Rv1167c or Rv1994c (transcriptional regulators). |

Non-human primate model (NHP) | Intra- granulomatous gene expression study using transcriptomics | Genes belonging to dosR regulon, toxin-antitoxin genes, alternate sigma factors- sigF, sigD, sigJ, sigI, sigB, sigK, and sigH | (Hudock et al., 2017) |
Human lung granuloma | RNA-RNA in-situ hybridization |
Icl, narX
Rv2557 and Rv2558- carbon starvation inducible genes iniB and kasA- upregulation due to isoniazid exposure. |
