Rv2353c, (MTCY98.22c), len: 354 aa. PPE39, Member of Mycobacterium tuberculosis PPE family, highly similar to many e.g. near ORF P95249|Rv2356c|MTCY98.25 from Mycobacterium tuberculosis (615 aa), FASTA scores: opt: 1566, E(): 3.2e-69, (66.1% identity in 349 aa overlap); Q10778|MTCY48.17, Q10540|MTCY31.06c, E241779|MTCY98,Q10813|MTCY274.23c, P71868|MTCY03C7.23,P71869|MTCY03C7.24c, P42611|MTV037.06C, E64997|MTCY98,Q10707|MTCY49.38C, P71657|MTCY02B10.25c, etc. Note that the ATG and RBS appear to be provided by the IR of neighbouring IS6110. Predicted to be an outer membrane protein (See S [...]

Membrane-associated phospholipase C 1 PlcA (MTP40 antigen); Hydrolyzes sphingomyelin in addition to phosphatidylcholine. Probable virulence factor implicated in the pathogenesis of M.tuberculosis at the level of intracellular survival, by the alteration of cell signaling events or by direct cytotoxicity; Belongs to the bacterial phospholipase C family.

Rv1792, (MTV049.14), len: 98 aa. EsxM, ESAT-6 like protein (see Gey Van Pittius et al., 2001), member of Mycobacterium tuberculosis QILSS family of proteins with Rv1038c, Rv1197, Rv3620c and Rv2347c. Has in-frame stop codon at 18074, no error could be found to account for this. Identical (apart from stop codon) to P96363|Rv1038c|MTCY10G2.11 putative ESAT-6 like protein 2 (98 aa), FASTA scores: opt: 389, E(): 5.8e-26, (100.0% identity in 58 aa overlap). Similar protein present in Mycobacterium leprae e.g. Q49946|MLCB1701.06C|AL049191 putative ESAT-6 like protein X (95 aa), FASTA scores: [...]

Rv2248, (MTCY427.29), len: 271 aa. Conserved hypothetical protein. Very similar to hypothetical M. tuberculosis proteins Rv3517, Rv1482c, Rv3555c, Rv3714c,Rv1073. FASTA score: MTCY06G11.02c MTCY6G11 NID: g1877284 -(289 aa) opt: 366 E(): 5.3e-18; (32.1% identity in 249 aa overlap). Some similarity to Mycobacterium avium protein AF002133|AF0021 339 AF002133 NID: g2183254 (346 aa) opt: 308 E(): 5.2e-14; (28.3% identity in 254 aa overlap).

Conserved protein; Rv0074, (MTV030.18), len: 411 aa. Conserved protein,similar to many.

PE-PGRS family protein PE_PGRS47; Contributes to evasion of both innate and adaptive immunity. Inhibits autophagy in infected host phagocytes and inhibits major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class II antigen presentation by mycobacteria-infected dendritic cells. Has an important role in the growth and survival of M.tuberculosis, particularly during intracellular growth and in the later chronic phase of infection.

Membrane-associated phospholipase C 2 PlcB; Hydrolyzes sphingomyelin in addition to phosphatidylcholine. Probable virulence factor implicated in the pathogenesis of M.tuberculosis at the level of intracellular survival, by the alteration of cell signaling events or by direct cytotoxicity.

Conserved protein; Specific chaperone for cognate PE/PPE proteins. Plays an important role in preventing aggregation of PE/PPE dimers. Belongs to the EspG family.
