fadD1Possible fatty-acid-CoA ligase FadD1 (fatty-acid-CoA synthetase) (fatty-acid-CoA synthase); Rv1750c, (MTCY28.13c, MTCY04C12.34), len: 532 aa. Possible fadD1, fatty-acid-CoA synthetase, similar in part to others e.g. O35488|VLCS_MOUSE very-long-chain acyl-CoA synthetase from Mus musculus (620 aa); NP_113924.1|NM_031736 solute carrier family 27 (fatty acid transporter) member 2 from Rattus norvegicus (620 aa); NP_459076.1|NC_003197 crotonobetaine/carnitine-CoA ligase from Salmonella typhimurium (517 aa); CAIC_ECOLI|P31552 probable crotonobetaine/carnitine-CoA ligase from Escherichia coli [...] (532 aa)
pks9Rv1664, (MTCY275.03), len: 1017 aa. Probable pks9,polyketide synthase, similar to OL56_STRAT|Q07017 oleandomycin polyketide synthase, modules 5 and 6 from Streptomyces antibioticus (3519 aa), FASTA scores: opt: 1767, E(): 0, (41.6% identity in 919 aa overlap). Similar to other Mycobacterium tuberculosis probable polyketide synthases e.g. pks6, pks8, etc. Contains PS00012 Phosphopantetheine attachment site. (1017 aa)
glmUProbable UDP-N-acetylglucosamine pyrophosphorylase GlmU; Catalyzes the last two sequential reactions in the de novo biosynthetic pathway for UDP-N-acetylglucosamine (UDP-GlcNAc). The C- terminal domain catalyzes the transfer of acetyl group from acetyl coenzyme A to glucosamine-1-phosphate (GlcN-1-P) to produce N- acetylglucosamine-1-phosphate (GlcNAc-1-P), which is converted into UDP-GlcNAc by the transfer of uridine 5-monophosphate (from uridine 5- triphosphate), a reaction catalyzed by the N-terminal domain. (495 aa)
fadD30Fatty-acid-AMP ligase FadD30 (fatty-acid-AMP synthetase) (fatty-acid-AMP synthase); Catalyzes the activation of long-chain fatty acids as acyl- adenylates (acyl-AMP), which are then transferred to the multifunctional polyketide synthase (PKS) for further chain extension. Belongs to the ATP-dependent AMP-binding enzyme family. (585 aa)
