Possible hydrolase; Catalyzes the cleavage of the N-acyl linkage of the ceramides (Cers) to yield sphingosine (Sph) and free fatty acid. Also catalyzes the synthesis of Cers from Sph and fatty acid. Cers containning C6-C24 fatty acids are well hydrolyzed, and Cers with mono unsaturated fatty acids are much more hydrolyzed than those with saturated fatty acids. Belongs to the neutral ceramidase family.

Probable protein TatB; Part of the twin-arginine translocation (Tat) system that transports large folded proteins containing a characteristic twin- arginine motif in their signal peptide across membranes. Together with TatC, TatB is part of a receptor directly interacting with Tat signal peptides. TatB may form an oligomeric binding site that transiently accommodates folded Tat precursor proteins before their translocation.

Rv0800, (MTCY07H7A.09c), len: 433 aa. Probable pepC,aminopeptidase I, highly similar (but shorter 17 aa) to Q50022|PEPX aminopeptidase from Mycobacterium leprae (443 aa), FASTA scores: opt: 2237, E(): 0, (78.3% identity in 433 aa overlap). Also highly similar to others from Eukaryotes and bacteria, e.g. T36482 probable aminopeptidase from Streptomyces coelicolor (432 aa),P14904|AMPL_YEAST vacuolar aminopeptidase I precursor from Saccharomyces cerevisiae (514 aa), FASTA scores: opt: 425,E(): 4.8e-21, (31.0% identity in 445 aa overlap); etc. Also similar to hypothetical proteins e.g. P38 [...]

Sec-independent protein translocase transmembrane protein TatC; Part of the twin-arginine translocation (Tat) system that transports large folded proteins containing a characteristic twin- arginine motif in their signal peptide across membranes. Together with TatB, TatC is part of a receptor directly interacting with Tat signal peptides.

Conserved protein; Rv0801, (MTCY07H7A.08c), len: 115 aa. Conserved protein, similar to many hypothetical proteins from Streptomyces sp. e.g. SCD840A.20|AB81865.1|AL161691 hypothetical protein from Streptomyces coelicolor (145 aa); AF072709|AF072709_8 from Streptomyces lividans (131 aa),FASTA scores: opt: 120, E(): 0.2, (26.3% identity in 118 aa overlap); etc.

Protoporphyrinogen oxidase; Catalyzes the 6-electron oxidation of protoporphyrinogen-IX to form protoporphyrin-IX.

Sec-independent protein translocase membrane-bound protein TatA; Part of the twin-arginine translocation (Tat) system that transports large folded proteins containing a characteristic twin- arginine motif in their signal peptide across membranes. TatA could form the protein-conducting channel of the Tat system. Belongs to the TatA/E family.

Rv3584, (MTV024.02), len: 182 aa. Possible lpqE,conserved lipoprotein, equivalent to Q9ZBM7|MLCB1450.02|LPQE|ML0319 putative lipoprotein from Mycobacterium leprae (183 aa), FASTA scores: opt: 722, E(): 6.2e-37, (63.45% identity in 175 aa overlap). Also similar in part to Q9KK69 exported protein 996A010 (fragment) from Mycobacterium avium (41 aa), FASTA scores: opt: 180, E(): 0.00012, (69.25% identity in 39 aa overlap); and Q9L0R0|SCD8A.04c putative lipoprotein from Streptomyces coelicolor (241 aa), FASTA scores: opt: 127, E(): 0.86,(27.15% identity in 173 aa overlap). Equivalent to AAK [...]

Rv3432c, (MTCY77.04c), len: 460 aa. Probable gadB,glutamate decarboxylase, similar to many e.g. P73043|gad|SLL1641 from Synechocystis sp. strain PCC 6803 (467 aa), FASTA scores: opt: 1684, E(): 6.2e-99, (55.35% identity in 457 aa overlap); Q9X8J5|SCE9.23 from Streptomyces coelicolor (475 aa), FASTA scores: opt: 1650,E(): 8.9e-97, (57.4% identity in 446 aa overlap); Q9AQU4|gad from Oryza sativa (Rice) (501 aa), FASTA scores: opt: 1498, E(): 3.7e-87, (51.6% identity in 432 aa overlap); Q07346|DCE_PETHY from Petunia hybrida (Petunia) (500 aa), FASTA scores: opt: 1485, E(): 2.5e-86, (51.15 [...]
