Possible antitoxin MazE2; Antitoxin component of a type II toxin-antitoxin (TA) system.

Possible antitoxin MazE3; Antitoxin component of a type II toxin-antitoxin (TA) system. Upon expression in E.coli and M.smegmatis neutralizes the effect of cognate toxin MazF3. Overexpression of MazE3 alone decreased persister cells formation in M.smegmatis upon challenge with gentamicin or kanamycin.

Possible antitoxin MazE1; Antitoxin component of a type II toxin-antitoxin (TA) system.

Possible antitoxin VapB42; Possibly the antitoxin component of a type II toxin-antitoxin (TA) system. Its cognate toxin is VapC42.

Antitoxin MazE6; Antitoxin component of a type II toxin-antitoxin (TA) system. Upon expression in E.coli and in M.smegmatis counteracts the ribonuclease activity of cognate toxin MazF6.

Conserved hypothetical protein; Involved in the biosynthesis of mycocyclosin. It uses activated amino acids in the form of aminoacyl-tRNAs (aa-tRNAs) as substrates to catalyze the ATP-independent formation of cyclodipeptides which are intermediates in diketopiperazine (DKP) biosynthetic pathways. Catalyzes the formation of cyclo(L-Tyr-L-Tyr) (cYY) from L- tyrosyl-tRNA(Tyr). Can incorporate various nonpolar residues, such as L-phenylalanine, L-leucine, L-tyrosine and L-methionine, and to a much lesser extent L-alanine, into cyclodipeptides. Cyclodipeptides synthesized by Rv2275 always c [...]

Cytochrome P450 121 Cyp121; Catalyzes C-C bond formation between the carbons ortho to the phenolic hydroxyl of cyclo(L-tyr-L-tyr) (cYY) producing mycocyclosin. Can also use cyclo(L-Tyr-L-Phe) (cYF), cyclo(L-Tyr-L-Trp) (cYW) and cyclo(L-Tyr-L-3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine) (cY-DOPA) as substrate. Belongs to the cytochrome P450 family.

Toxin MazF6; Toxic component of a type II toxin-antitoxin (TA) system. Upon expression in E.coli and in M.smegmatis partially inhibits cell growth and colony formation; its toxic effect is neutralized by coexpression with cognate antitoxin MazE6. Acts as an mRNA interferase on ssRNA, cleaving between the second and third bases in the sequences CUCCU and UUCCU. Further experiments demonstrate that it digests between the first and second bases of UCCUU, yielding a 5'- hydroxyl end; digests M.tuberculosis mRNA (in coding as well as the 5'- and 3'-UTR regions) and 23S rRNA, digests E.coli [...]

Possible toxin VapC46. Contains PIN domain; Toxic component of a type II toxin-antitoxin (TA) system. An RNase (By similarity). Upon expression in M.smegmatis inhibits colony formation. Its toxic effect is neutralized by coexpression with cognate antitoxin VapB46.; Belongs to the PINc/VapC protein family.
