Probable succinyl-CoA synthetase (beta chain) SucC (SCS-beta); Succinyl-CoA synthetase functions in the citric acid cycle (TCA), coupling the hydrolysis of succinyl-CoA to the synthesis of either ATP or GTP and thus represents the only step of substrate-level phosphorylation in the TCA. The beta subunit provides nucleotide specificity of the enzyme and binds the substrate succinate, while the binding sites for coenzyme A and phosphate are found in the alpha subunit.

Rv1322, (MTCY130.07), len: 98 aa. Conserved hypothetical protein.

Universal stress protein family protein TB31.7; May play a role in the establishment of a persistent infection (latency) in the host, as strains without this gene are hypervirulent. Overexpression of the protein retards growth in culture; Glu-15 and Ala-117 mutant proteins which bind less ATP do not show this retardation, suggesting growth may be regulated through an ATP- dependent function.

Conserved protein TB16.3; Rv2185c, (MTV021.18c), len: 144 aa. TB16.3,conserved protein, similar to other hypothetical actinomycete proteins and equivalent to Mycobacterium leprae ML0889 (144 aa). Some similarity to Mycobacterium tuberculosis Rv0854, Rv0856, Rv0857, Rv0164 and other Mycobacterium leprae proteins. FASTA scores : ML0889 opt: 811; 85.417% identity in 144 aa overlap (AL022602). A core mycobacterial gene; conserved in mycobacterial strains (See Marmiesse et al., 2004).

Probable mannosyltransferase. Probable conserved transmembrane protein; Rv1635c, (MTCY01B2.27c), len: 556 aa. Probable mannosyltransferase (See Dinadayala et al., 2006). Predicted to be in the GT-C superfamily of glycosyltransferases (See Liu and Mushegian, 2003). Probable conserved transmembrane protein, equivalent to CAC31770.1|AL583921 Mycobacterium leprae membrane protein (527 aa), Identities = 332/527 (62%). A core mycobacterial gene; conserved in mycobacterial strains (See Marmiesse et al., 2004).

Conserved protein with FHA domain, GarA; Involved in regulation of glutamate metabolism. Acts as a phosphorylation-dependent molecular switch that modulates the activities of Kgd, Gdh and GltB.

Rv1312, (MTCY373.32), len: 147 aa. Conserved hypothetical secreted protein with potential N-terminal signal sequence. Highly similar to P53432|Y02W_MYCLE hypothetical Mycobacterium leprae protein (147 aa), FASTA score: opt: 884, E(): 0, (88.4% identity in 147 aa overlap). N-terminus hydrophobic.
