Rv3447c, (MTCY77.19c), len: 1236 aa. EccC4, esx conserved component, ESX-4 type VII secretion system protein, probable membrane protein, similar to various bacterial proteins e.g. O86653|SC3C3.20c ATP/GTP binding protein from Streptomyces coelicolor (1321 aa), FASTA scores: opt: 1186, E(): 1.9e-60, (42.9% identity in 1312 aa overlap); Q9L0T6|SCD35.15c from Streptomyces coelicolor (1525 aa), FASTA scores: opt: 932, E(): 9.2e-46, (27.2% identity in 1374 aa overlap); Q9CD30|ML2535 hypothetical protein from Mycobacterium leprae (1329 aa), FASTA scores: opt: 910, E(): 1.5e-44, (34.4% identi [...]

Mannosyltransferase PimB; Involved in the biosynthesis of phosphatidyl-myo-inositol mannosides (PIM) which are early precursors in the biosynthesis of lipomannans (LM) and lipoarabinomannans (LAM). Catalyzes the addition of a mannosyl residue from GDP-D-mannose (GDP- Man) to the position 6 of a phosphatidyl-myo-inositol bearing an alpha- 1,2-linked mannose residue (PIM1) to generate phosphatidyl-myo-inositol bearing alpha-1,2- and alpha-1,6-linked mannose residues (Ac1PIM2). PimB also catalyzes the addition of a mannosyl residue from GDP-Man to the position 6 of phosphatidyl-myo-inosit [...]

Mannosyltransferase MgtA; Catalyzes the addition of a mannose residue from GDP-D- mannose to GlcAGroAc2 to generate 1,2-di-O-C16/C18:1-(alpha-D- mannopyranosyl)-(1-4)-(alpha-D-glucopyranosyluronic acid)-(1-3)- glycerol(ManGlcAGroAc2).

Hypothetical protein; Rv1502, (MTCY277.24), len: 299 aa. Hypothetical unknown protein.

Possible exported protein; Rv1115, (MTCY22G8.04), len: 232 aa. Possible exported protein, contains possible N-terminal signal sequence.

Rv1503c, (MTCY277.25c), len: 182 aa. Conserved hypothetical protein, similar to C-terminal region of P27833|RFFA_ECOLI lipopolysaccharide biosynthesis protein from Escherichia coli (376 aa), FASTA scores: opt: 565,E(): 0, (49.4% identity in 170 aa overlap); Rv1503c and Rv1504c are both similar to RFFA_ECOLI but are separated by a stop codon, sequence appears to be correct so possible pseudogene.

Rv1504c, (MTCY277.26c), len: 199 aa. Conserved hypothetical protein, similar to N-terminal region of P27833|RFFA_ECOLI lipopolysaccharide biosynthesis protein from Escherichia coli (376 aa), FASTA scores: opt: 863,E(): 0, (68.0% identity in 194 aa overlap); Rv1503c and Rv1504c are similar to RFFA_ECOLI but are separated by a stop codon, sequence appears to be correct so possible pseudogene.

Hypothetical protein; Rv1499, (MTCY277.21), len: 132 aa. Hypothetical unknown protein; was initially longer but has been shortened (-24 aa) owing to overlap with Rv1498A. This region is a possible MT-complex-specific genomic island (See Becq et al., 2007).
