List of genes upregulated during dormancy in various in-vitro and in-vivo models.

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).
