Nodes:
Network nodes represent proteins
splice isoforms or post-translational modifications are collapsed, i.e. each node represents all the proteins produced by a single, protein-coding gene locus.
Node Color
colored nodes:
query proteins and first shell of interactors
white nodes:
second shell of interactors
Node Content
empty nodes:
proteins of unknown 3D structure
filled nodes:
a 3D structure is known or predicted
Edges:
Edges represent protein-protein associations
associations are meant to be specific and meaningful, i.e. proteins jointly contribute to a shared function; this does not necessarily mean they are physically binding to each other.

fdxAFerredoxin FdxA; Ferredoxins are iron-sulfur proteins that transfer electrons in a wide variety of metabolic reactions. (114 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
korA
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 [...]

hspX
Heat shock protein HspX (alpha-crystallin homolog) (14 kDa antigen) (HSP16.3); Acts as a chaperone, as it has a significant ability to suppress the thermal denaturation of alcohol dehydrogenase. Cells overexpressing this gene grow more slowly than wild-type cells, and are less susceptible to autolysis following saturation of the culture in vitro, suggesting this protein may slow down the growth rate of M.tuberculosis in culture and by extension during macrophage infection. Belongs to the small heat shock protein (HSP20) family.

Rv1738
Conserved protein; Rv1738, (MTCY04C12.23), len: 94 aa. Conserved protein, similar to P71931|Rv2632c|YQ32_MYCTU Hypothetical 10.1 kDa protein from Mycobacterium tuberculosis (93 aa),FASTA scores: opt: 319, E(): 2.6e-27, (53.9% identity in 89 aa overlap). Predicted possible vaccine candidate (See Zvi et al., 2008); To M.tuberculosis Rv2632c.

Rv3131
Conserved protein; Stimulates pro-inflammatory cytokine expression via TLR2 signaling pathway. Activation of TLR2 results in the phosphorylation and activation of NF-kappa-B. Also induces TLR2 expression. May influence the innate immune responses to facilitate the survival of M.tuberculosis in the granulomatous microenvironment. Belongs to the nitroreductase family.

tgs1
Triacylglycerol synthase (diacylglycerol acyltransferase) Tgs1; Catalyzes the terminal and only committed step in triacylglycerol synthesis by using diacylglycerol and fatty acyl CoA as substrates. Required for storage lipid synthesis (Probable).

hrp1
Hypoxic response protein 1 Hrp1; Unlike some other CBS-domain containing proteins does not seem to bind AMP.

Rv3134c
Rv3134c, (MTCY03A2.240, len: 268 aa. Universal stress protein family protein. Ala-, Val- rich (see citations below), related to other hypothetical Mycobacterium tuberculosis proteins e.g. O53474|Rv2028c|MTV018.15c (279 aa), FASTA scores: opt: 562,E(): 3.2e-28, (40.65% identity in 273 aa overlap); O06188|Rv2624c|MTCY01A10.08 (272 aa), FASTA scores: opt: 458, E(): 1.1e-21, (36.55% identity in 271 aa overlap); O53472|R2026c|MTV018.13c (294 aa), FASTA scores: opt: 232,E(): 1.9e-07, (30.45% identity in 276 aa overlap); etc. Shares some similarity with other hypothetical proteins from Strept [...]

Rv1996
Rv1996, (MTCY39.23c), len: 317 aa. Universal stress protein family protein. Similar to several Mycobacterium tuberculosis hypothetical proteins e.g. Rv2005c|Q10851|YK05_MYCTU (295 aa), FASTA scores: opt: 775,E(): 0, (50.3% identity in 316 aa overlap); Rv2026c (294 aa) (47.9% identity in 311 aa overlap); and Rv2623, etc. Also similar to SCJ1.30c|AL109962 hypothetical protein from Streptomyces coelicolor (328 aa). Predicted possible vaccine candidate (See Zvi et al., 2008).

TB31.7
Universal stress protein family protein TB31.7; May play a role in the establishment of a persistent infection (latency) in the host, as strains without this gene are hypervirulent. Overexpression of the protein retards growth in culture; Glu-15 and Ala-117 mutant proteins which bind less ATP do not show this retardation, suggesting growth may be regulated through an ATP- dependent function.

Rv0079
Unknown protein; Involved in translation regulation. Inhibits protein synthesis and decreases bacterial growth when expressed in E.coli. Can also stimulate macrophages and peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) to secrete important cytokines that may be significant in granuloma formation and its maintenance. Increases secretion of IFN-gamma, TNF-alpha, IL-1 beta and IL-8 through human Toll-like receptor 2 (TLR2) signaling pathway.
