Equivalent to AL0499 13|MLCB1610_24 from Mycobacterium leprae (272 aa) (90.8% identity in 272 aa overlap). Contains indole-3-gl [...]

Anthranilate synthase component I TrpE (glutamine amidotransferase); Part of a heterotetrameric complex that catalyzes the two- step biosynthesis of anthranilate, an intermediate in the biosynthesis of L-tryptophan. In the first step, the glutamine-binding beta subunit (TrpG) of anthranilate synthase (AS) provides the glutamine amidotransferase activity which generates ammonia as a substrate that, along with chorismate, is used in the second step, catalyzed by the large alpha subunit of AS (TrpE) to produce anthranilate. In the absence of TrpG, TrpE can synthesize anthranilate directly [...]

Probable conserved transmembrane protein; Required for the insertion and/or proper folding and/or complex formation of integral membrane proteins into the membrane. Involved in integration of membrane proteins that insert both dependently and independently of the Sec translocase complex, as well as at least some lipoproteins. Aids folding of multispanning membrane proteins (By similarity).

Probable lipoprotein signal peptidase LspA; This protein specifically catalyzes the removal of signal peptides from prolipoproteins; Belongs to the peptidase A8 family.

Decaprenyl-phosphate phosphoribosyltransferase; Involved in the biosynthesis of decaprenylphosphoryl arabinose (DPA) a precursor for arabinan synthesis in mycobacterial cell wall biosynthesis. Catalyzes the transfer of a 5-phosphoribosyl residue from phosphoribose diphosphate (pRpp) to decaprenyl phosphate (DP) to form decaprenylphosphoryl-5-phosphoribose (DPPR). The enzyme favors polyprenyl phosphate with 50-60 carbon atoms uses C-75 polyprenyl phosphate less efficiently than C-50 or C-60. Belongs to the UbiA prenyltransferase family.

Conserved protein; Rv2257c, (MTV022.07c), len: 272 aa. Conserved protein, similar to hypothetical protein SC4A7.08 from Streptomyces coelicolor (273 aa; 58% identity in 243 aa overlap). Also similar to several putative esterases and penicillin-binding proteins in M. tuberculosis e.g. Rv1923,Rv1497, Rv2463, Rv3775, Rv1922, Rv1730c.

Rv3920c, (MTV028.11c), len: 187 aa. Conserved protein, similar to jag protein, equivalent to Q9L7M2 hypothetical 20.1 KDA protein from Mycobacterium paratuberculosis (183 aa), FASTA scores: opt: 1004, E(): 7.3e-52, (85.05% identity in 187 aa overlap); and Q50204|ML2709 hypothetical protein similar to jag protein SPOIIIJ associated protein in bacillus subtilis from Mycobacterium leprae (193 aa), FASTA scores: opt: 871, E(): 4.4e-44, (73.05% identity in 193 aa overlap). Also similar to other bacterial proteins e.g. O54595|STH24.06|jag jag-like protein from Streptomyces coelicolor (170 aa [...]

Probable NADH dehydrogenase I (chain L) NuoL (NADH-ubiquinone oxidoreductase chain L); NDH-1 shuttles electrons from NADH, via FMN and iron-sulfur (Fe-S) centers, to quinones in the respiratory chain. The immediate electron acceptor for the enzyme in this species is believed to be menaquinone. Couples the redox reaction to proton translocation (for every two electrons transferred, four hydrogen ions are translocated across the cytoplasmic membrane), and thus conserves the redox energy in a proton gradient (By similarity).
