Rv1617, (MTCY01B2.09), len: 472 aa. Probable pykA,pyruvate kinase. FASTA best: Q46078 pyruvate kinase from corynebacterium glutamicum (475 aa), opt: 2221, E(): 0,(72.2% identity in 468 aa overlap). Belongs to the pyruvate kinase family. Phosphorylated in vitro by PknJ|Rv2088 (See Arora et al., 2010).

Possible L-lactate dehydrogenase (cytochrome) LldD1; May play a role in the maturation of mycofactocin, a conserved polypeptide that might serve as an electron carrier. The genes for mycofactocin and other proteins proposed to function in its maturation are found in a conserved gene cluster; Belongs to the FMN-dependent alpha-hydroxy acid dehydrogenase family.

Probable oxidoreductase (alpha subunit); Component of KG oxidoreductase (KOR) that catalyzes the CoA- dependent oxidative decarboxylation of 2-oxoglutarate (alpha- ketoglutarate, KG) to succinyl-CoA. Methyl viologen can act as electron acceptor in vitro; the physiologic electron acceptor is unknown. Is involved in the alternative TCA pathway that functions concurrently with fatty acid beta-oxidation. Since a growing body of evidence indicates that lipids (for example cholesterol and fatty acids) are a predominant growth substrate for M.tuberculosis during infection, flux through KOR li [...]

Putative malate oxidoreductase [NAD]; Rv2332, (MTCY3G12.02c, MTCY98.01, MT2394), len: 548 aa. Probable mez, malate oxidoreductase [NAD] dependent (malic enzyme), highly similar to others e.g. O34389|MALS putative malolactic enzyme [includes: malic enzyme; L-lactate dehydrogenase] from Bacillus subtilis (566 aa),FASTA scores: opt: 1927, E(): 5.5e-111, (52.9% identity in 539 aa overlap); P45868|MAO2_BACSU|YWKA probable NAD-dependent malic enzyme from Bacillus subtilis (582 aa),FASTA scores: opt: 1849, E(): 3.6e-106, (50.45% identity in 543 aa overlap); Q48796|MLES_OENOE malolactic enzyme [...]

Probable pyruvate carboxylase Pca (pyruvic carboxylase); Catalyzes a 2-step reaction, involving the ATP-dependent carboxylation of the covalently attached biotin in the first step and the transfer of the carboxyl group to pyruvate in the second.

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.

Pyruvate dehydrogenase E1 component; Component of the pyruvate dehydrogenase (PDH) complex, that catalyzes the overall conversion of pyruvate to acetyl-CoA and CO(2). AceE has reductase activity with pyruvate but does not react with 2- oxoglutarate.

Probable oxidoreductase (beta subunit); Component of KG oxidoreductase (KOR) that catalyzes the CoA- dependent oxidative decarboxylation of 2-oxoglutarate (alpha- ketoglutarate, KG) to succinyl-CoA. Methyl viologen can act as electron acceptor in vitro; the physiologic electron acceptor is unknown. Is involved in the alternative TCA pathway that functions concurrently with fatty acid beta-oxidation. Since a growing body of evidence indicates that lipids (for example cholesterol and fatty acids) are a predominant growth substrate for M.tuberculosis during infection, flux through KOR lik [...]

Rv1127c, (MTCY22G8.16c), len: 490 aa. Probable ppdK,Pyruvate, phosphate dikinase. Equivalent (but shorter) to Z94723|MLCB33_16 ppdK from Mycobacterium leprae (601 aa) (71.8% identity in 478 aa overlap). Highly similar to N-terminus of PODK_CLOSY|P22983 pyruvate, phosphate dikinase from Clostridium symbiosum (873 aa), FASTA scores: opt: 786, E(): 0, (37.4% identity in 514 aa overlap).
