2-succinyl-5-enolpyruvyl-6-hydroxy-3-cyclohexene-1-carboxylate synthase; Catalyzes the thiamine diphosphate-dependent decarboxylation of 2-oxoglutarate and the subsequent addition of the resulting succinic semialdehyde-thiamine pyrophosphate anion to isochorismate to yield 2- succinyl-5-enolpyruvyl-6-hydroxy-3-cyclohexene-1-carboxylate (SEPHCHC). Belongs to the TPP enzyme family. MenD subfamily.

Rv0556, (MTCY25D10.35), len: 171 aa. Probable conserved transmembrane protein, equivalent to NP_302479.1|NC_002677 putative membrane protein from Mycobacterium leprae (175 aa). A core mycobacterial gene; conserved in mycobacterial strains (See Marmiesse et al.,2004).

Possible lipase LipV; Lipase that displays broad substrate specificity and preferentially hydrolyzes p-nitrophenyl myristate in vitro. Also shows significant activity with pNP-butyrate (68%), pNP-octanoate (82%), pNP- decanoate (90%), and pNP-laurate (74%). Is probably involved in lipid catabolism. Is active at low pH, and might play some important role in mycobacterial biology in macrophages where the bacteria encounters acidic stress.
