NRC-1 (255 aa); NP_349214.1|NC_003030 Short-chain alcohol dehydrogenase family protein from Clostridium acetobutylicum (255 aa); etc. Also similar to several proteins from Mycobacterium tuberculosis e.g. Y04M_MYCTU|Q10783 putative oxidoreductase (341 aa), FASTA scores: opt: 644, E(): 0, (46.1% identity in [...]

Probable conserved transmembrane protein; Required for the import of both fatty acids and cholesterol during growth in macrophages and in axenic culture. Facilitates the uptake of these lipids by stabilizing protein subunits of the Mce1 and Mce4 multi-subunit transporters, which transport fatty acids and cholesterol, respectively. Required for full virulence in vivo.

Rv3445c, (MTCY77.17c), len: 105 aa. EsxU, ESAT-6 like protein (see citations below), showing weak similarity to O30373|VCD|PA2257 pyoverdine biosynthesis protein from Pseudomonas aeruginosa (215 aa), FASTA scores: opt: 103,E(): 5.6, (32.35% identity in 133 aa overlap). Seems to belong to the ESAT6 family. Start changed since first submission (-20 aa); Belongs to the WXG100 family. CFP-10 subfamily.

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.

Putative triacylglycerol synthase (diacylglycerol acyltransferase) Tgs3; Catalyzes the terminal and only committed step in triacylglycerol synthesis by using diacylglycerol and fatty acyl CoA as substrates. Required for storage lipid synthesis (By similarity). Belongs to the long-chain O-acyltransferase family.

Putative acetolactate synthase large subunit IlvB2; Catalyzes the conversion of 2 pyruvate molecules into acetolactate in the first common step of the biosynthetic pathway of the branched-amino acids such as leucine, isoleucine, and valine. Belongs to the TPP enzyme family.

6,7-dimethyl-8-ribityllumazine synthase; Catalyzes the formation of 6,7-dimethyl-8-ribityllumazine by condensation of 5-amino-6-(D-ribitylamino)uracil with 3,4-dihydroxy-2- butanone 4-phosphate. This is the penultimate step in the biosynthesis of riboflavin; Belongs to the DMRL synthase family.
