  • Biochemical and genetic characterization of the pimB gene from M. tuberculosis have suggested that PimB is the α-D-mannose-α (1→6) - phosphatidyl - myo-inositol monomannoside transferase responsible for the formation of triacyl-PIM2 from GDP-Man and triacyl-PIM1.

  • Albeit mycobacteria reside within phagolysosomes of the infected macrophages, envelope glycoconjugates like Lipoarabinomannan (LAM), phosphatidyl - myo-inositol mannosides (PIM), Trehalose 6,6′-dimycolate (TDM; cord factor) etc., are released and traffic out of the mycobacterial phagosome into endocytic compartments as well as can gain access to the extracellular environment in the form of exocytosed vesicles
