Promising targets for drug development are enzymes involved in the biosynthesis of cell envelope structures such as peptidoglycan, teichoic acids, membrane lipids, or cell wall associated adhesins.
Comparative genomics of the mycobacterial genomes with a focus on genes involved in biosynthesis of cell envelope components was carried out using methodologies viz., sequence similarity, metabolic pathway reconstruction and phylogenetic profiling.
Genes related to the biosynthesis of cell envelope components were up-regulated in young cells only.
Likewise, reactions from cell envelope biosynthesis and membrane lipid metabolism tend to be clustered together because fatty acids created from membrane lipid metabolism are fed into the biosynthesis of cell envelope.
Additionally, alterations to the biosynthesis of cell envelope lipids, caused by the deletion of the cmaA2 cyclopropane-mycolic acid synthase which subsequently lacked the trans-cylcopropane rings in the cell wall mycolic acid, resulted in accelerated host mortality which was attributed to severe lung lesions caused by an excessive inflammatory response (Rao et al. 2006).

The GalU gene encodes for production of UTP-glucose-1-phosphate uridyltransferase, an enzyme that catalyzes the formation of UDP-glucose and is known to have a key role in biosynthesis of cell-envelope-associated carbohydrates (e.g. lipopolysaccharides [LPS] and capsule) in a variety of bacterial species.
The exceptions were the categories of synthesis and modification of ribosomal proteins in both genomes and the biosynthesis and degradation of cell envelope in wBm only.
