Conserved protein; Controls the expression level of the Mmps2-MmpL2, MmpS4- MmpL4, and MmpS5-MmpL5 transport systems. Also controls its own expression. Acts by binding directly to the promoter regions.

Probable conserved transmembrane transport protein MmpL4; Part of an export system, which is required for biosynthesis and secretion of siderophores. Essential for normal replication during the active-growth phase of the murine tuberculosis model.

ATP synthase subunit c; F(1)F(0) ATP synthase produces ATP from ADP in the presence of a proton or sodium gradient. F-type ATPases consist of two structural domains, F(1) containing the extramembraneous catalytic core and F(0) containing the membrane proton channel, linked together by a central stalk and a peripheral stalk. During catalysis, ATP synthesis in the catalytic domain of F(1) is coupled via a rotary mechanism of the central stalk subunits to proton translocation.

Probable transcriptional regulatory protein; Regulates the expression of the Rv1217c-Rv1218c multidrug efflux system and its own expression. Acts by binding to promoter regions of Rv1219c and upstream of the Rv1218c gene. Important for survival in prolonged stationary phase and during macrophage infection. May be used to eliminate non- growing mycobacteria.

Rv1049, (MTV017.02), len: 148 aa. Probable transcriptional repressor protein, similar to many e.g. P74870 negative regulator of EMR locus EMR from Salmonella typhimurium (149 aa), FASTA scores: opt: 146, E(): 0.0011,(31.6% identity in 95 aa overlap). Contains probable helix-turn-helix motif at aa 58-79 (Score 1495, +4.28 SD). This region is a possible MT-complex-specific genomic island (See Becq et al., 2007).

Rv2535c, (MTCY159.21), len: 372 aa. Probable pepQ,cytoplasmic peptidase, equivalent to Q9CCS1|PEPQ|ML0521 putative cytoplasmic peptidase from Mycobacterium leprae (376 aa), FASTA scores: opt: 1954, E(): 1.1e-105, (82.7% identity in 376 aa overlap). Also similar to other peptidases e.g. P54518|YQHT_BACSU putative peptidase (belongs to peptidase family M24B) from Bacillus subtilis (353 aa), FASTA scores: opt: 808, E(): 1.6e-39, (39.65% identity in 368 aa overlap); Q9KXQ8|SC9C5.16c putative peptidase from Streptomyces coelicolor (368 aa), FASTA scores: opt: 803, E(): 3.2e-39, (43.15% iden [...]

Possible transcriptional regulatory protein (possibly MarR-family); Rv0880, (MTCY31.08), len: 143 aa.

Also similar to many others e.g. CAB93410.1|AL357524 putative marR-family protein from Streptomyces coelicolor (145 aa); NP_251757.1|NC_002516 probable transcriptional regulator from Pseudomonas aeruginosa (147 aa); etc. Also similar to Rv2327 from Mycobac [...]

Probable tetronasin-transport integral membrane protein ABC transporter; Probably part of the ABC transporter complex Rv1217c-Rv1218c involved in the resistance to a wide range of structurally unrelated drugs. Probably responsible for the translocation of the substrate across the membrane (Probable).

Conserved protein; Rv0455c, (MTV037.19c), len: 148 aa. Conserved protein, equivalent to CAC31896.1|AL583925 possible secreted protein from Mycobacterium leprae (153 aa). Has hydrophobic stretch at N-terminus. A core mycobacterial gene; conserved in mycobacterial strains (See Marmiesse et al., 2004). Predicted to be an outer membrane protein (See Song et al., 2008).
