Probable thymidylate synthase ThyX (ts) (TSase); Catalyzes the reductive methylation of 2'-deoxyuridine-5'- monophosphate (dUMP) to 2'-deoxythymidine-5'-monophosphate (dTMP) while utilizing 5,10-methylenetetrahydrofolate (mTHF) as the methyl donor, and NADPH and FADH(2) as the reductant. Is essential for growth of the pathogen on solid media in vitro; the essential function is something other than dTMP synthase.

Probable folylpolyglutamate synthase protein FolC (folylpoly-gamma-glutamate synthetase) (FPGS); Catalyzes the addition of a glutamate residue to dihydropteroate (7,8-dihydropteroate or H2Pte) to form dihydrofolate (7,8-dihydrofolate monoglutamate or H2Pte-Glu). Also catalyzes successive additions of L-glutamate to tetrahydrofolate, leading to folylpolyglutamate derivatives (By similarity).

Rv2762c, (MTV002.27c), len: 139 aa. Conserved hypothetical protein, similar to C-terminus of hypothetical proteins: Q9A380|CC3324 from Caulobacter crescentus (409 aa), FASTA scores: opt: 181, E(): 9.8e-05, (43.55% identity in 101 aa overlap); Q98KQ4|MLR1373 from Rhizobium loti (Mesorhizobium loti) (399 aa), FASTA scores: opt: 174, E(): 0.00028, (46.35% identity in 82 aa overlap); and Q9HZZ9|PA2844 from Pseudomonas aeruginosa (402 aa), FASTA scores: opt: 158, E(): 0.0033, (40.0% identity in 80 aa overlap).

Probable methionyl-tRNA formyltransferase Fmt; Attaches a formyl group to the free amino group of methionyl- tRNA(fMet). The formyl group appears to play a dual role in the initiator identity of N-formylmethionyl-tRNA by promoting its recognition by IF2 and preventing the misappropriation of this tRNA by the elongation apparatus; Belongs to the Fmt family.

Methionine synthase; Catalyzes the transfer of a methyl group from methyl- cobalamin to homocysteine, yielding enzyme-bound cob(I)alamin and methionine. Subsequently, remethylates the cofactor using methyltetrahydrofolate (By similarity); Belongs to the vitamin-B12 dependent methionine synthase family.

Phosphoribosylglycinamide formyltransferase; Catalyzes the transfer of a formyl group from 10- formyltetrahydrofolate to 5-phospho-ribosyl-glycinamide (GAR), producing 5-phospho-ribosyl-N-formylglycinamide (FGAR) and tetrahydrofolate; Belongs to the GART family.

Probable aminomethyltransferase GcvT (glycine cleavage system T protein); The glycine cleavage system catalyzes the degradation of glycine; Belongs to the GcvT family.

Phosphoribosylaminoimidazolecarboxamide formyltransferase; Rv0957, (MTCY10D7.17c), len: 523 aa. Probable purH,bifunctional purine biosynthesis protein including 5'-phosphoribosyl-5-aminoimidazole-4-carboxamide formyltransferase and inosine-monophosphate (imp) cyclohydrolase, equivalent to AL035500|MLCL373_8 putative phosphoribosylaminoimidazolecarboxamide formyltransferase from Mycobacterium leprae (527 aa), FASTA score: (88.1% identity in 520 aa overlap); and AF05727.1|AF191543_2|AF191543|PurH from Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis (527 aa). Also highly similar to others e.g [...]

Serine hydroxymethyltransferase GlyA2 (serine methylase 2) (SHMT 2); Catalyzes the reversible interconversion of serine and glycine with tetrahydrofolate (THF) serving as the one-carbon carrier. This reaction serves as the major source of one-carbon groups required for the biosynthesis of purines, thymidylate, methionine, and other important biomolecules. Also exhibits THF-independent aldolase activity toward beta-hydroxyamino acids, producing glycine and aldehydes, via a retro-aldol mechanism. Thus, is able to catalyze the cleavage of L- allo-threonine; Belongs to the SHMT family.
