Mycobacterium tuberculosis (M.tb) persists for long-duration inside the human host in both active and latent form by modulating the immune response. The mechanisms employed by M.tb to survive inside the host and evade the host immune system need to be explored in greater depth for the rational design of novel treatment strategies. The phosphorylation and methylation of biomolecules need to be addressed in mycobacteria because it has an important role in infection establishment and persistence. In the present study, we elaborate on the role of PknJ in the slow growth of BCG and its association with mmaA4 protein during extracellular and intracellular growth. The pknJ knock-out (KO) BCG has been used to decode the functional significance in mycobacteria. The mmaA4 expression and methyltransferase activity is decreased in knocked-out BCG strain (pknJ-/-) during extracellular growth, while mmaA4 expression and methyltransferase activity is increased during intracellular growth of mycobacteria. The knocked-out BCG strain is highly sensitive to the rifampicin antibiotics during extracellular growth in compared to control. A significant association of pknJ and mmaA4 was found in our studies during the growth and intracellular persistence of mycobacteria.

The direction of future research is likely to be influenced by major conceptual advances and technological breakthroughs, neither of which can be predicted with certainty. However, it is possible to identify general areas in which conceptual advances may be anticipated as a result of studies on invertebrate physiology and biochemistry and, in this regard, neurobiology and developmental biology offer particular promise. It is reasonable to predict also that the technologies of modern molecular biology and the development of highly sensitive analytical instrumentation will greatly facilitate research progress. Increased activity may also be predicted in strategic research areas including those that will lead to the rational design of pesticides and the improvement of "farming" procedures for invertebrate species that are used as sources of food. Invertebrates are also expected to continue to be used as models for biomedical research.

Time-gated Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) using the unique material combination of long-lifetime terbium complexes (Tb) and semiconductor quantum dots (QDs) provides many advantages for highly sensitive and multiplexed biosensing. Although time-gated detection can efficiently suppress sample autofluorescence and background fluorescence from directly excited FRET acceptors, Tb-to-QD FRET has rarely been exploited for biomolecular imaging. We demonstrate Tb-to-QD time-gated FRET nanoassemblies that can be applied for intra- and extracellular imaging. Immunostaining of different epitopes of the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) with Tb- and QD-conjugated antibodies and nanobodies allowed for efficient Tb-to-QD FRET on A431 cell membranes. The broad usability of Tb-to-QD FRET was further demonstrated by intracellular Tb-to-QD FRET and Tb-to-QD-to-dye FRET using microinjection as well as cell-penetrating peptide–mediated endocytosis with HeLa cells. Effective brightness enhancement by FRET from several Tb to the same QD, the use of low nanomolar concentrations, and the quick and sensitive detection void of FRET acceptor background fluorescence are important advantages for advanced intra- and extracellular imaging of biomolecular interactions.
