Rv2219, (MTCY190.30), len: 250 aa. Probable conserved transmembrane protein. Equivalent to hypothetical membrane protein ML0857 (250 aa) from Mycobacterium leprae Z98741 |MLCB22_13 Mycobacterium leprae cosmid B22; H (250 aa) opt : 1328, E(): 0; 80.8% identity in 250 aa overlap.

Rv2413c, (MTCY253.07), len: 316 aa. Conserved hypothetical protein, highly similar to O33133|MLCL536.07c|ML0603|Q49756|G466975|B1937_F2_36 hypothetical 39.1 KDA protein from Mycobacterium leprae (389 aa), FASTA scores: opt: 1683, E(): 1.8e-88, (83.9% identity in 316 aa overlap). ML0603 is a putative lipoprotein with an N-terminal signal sequence and appropriately positioned prokaryotic lipoprotein lipid attachment site that is not present in Rv2413c as this seems to be 73 aa shorter. Also some similarity with various proteins from other organisms e.g. Q9RDM2|SCC123.02c putative DNA-bin [...]

Rv2146c, (MTCY270.22), len: 96 aa. Possible conserved transmembrane protein, orthologs present in M. leprae, ML0921 (96 aa) and Streptomyces coelicolor. Second start taken GTG alternative upstream but much less probable in TBParse. FASTA best: Q44935 similar to a hypothetical integral membrane prot EIN (97 aa) opt: 105, E(): 0.093; (25.3% identity in 87 aa overlap). >emb|CAC31302.1| (AL583920) possible membrane protein ML0921 [Mycobacterium leprae] E(): 5e-32 (76% identity in 96 aa overlap).

Conserved protein; Binds to RNA polymerase (RNAP), stimulating and stabilizing the formation of stable RNAP promoter complexes up to 2-fold from principal sigma factor SigA-dependent but not alternative sigma factor SigF-dependent promoters. Increases the affinity of core RNAP for SigA, increasing the transcriptional activity of RNAP. Unlike the case in M.smegmatis or S.coelicolor, has no effect on rifampicin inhibition of transcription. Has no effect on E.coli RNAP. Belongs to the RNA polymerase-binding protein RbpA family.
