Lysine-N-oxygenase MbtG (L-lysine 6-monooxygenase) (lysine N6-hydroxylase); Flavoprotein monooxygenase required for N-hydroxylation of the two acylated lysine residues during mycobactin assembly, thus producing the hydroxamate groups necessary for iron sequestration. Is also able, but less efficiently, to hydroxylate L-lysine (non acylated) in vitro.

Rv3477, (MTCY13E12.30), len: 98 aa. PE31, Member of the Mycobacterium tuberculosis PE family (see Brennan & Delogu 2002), similar to O53941|Rv1791|MTV049.13 (99 aa),FASTA scores: opt: 373, E(): 4.3e-18, (64.65% identity in 99 aa overlap); MTCI364.07; MTCY21C12.10c; MTCY1A11.25c; MTC1A11.04; MTCY359.33; etc.

30S ribosomal protein S15 RpsO; One of the primary rRNA binding proteins, it binds directly to 16S rRNA where it helps nucleate assembly of the platform of the 30S subunit by binding and bridging several RNA helices of the 16S rRNA.

10 kDa culture filtrate antigen EsxB (LHP) (CFP10); A secreted protein. Acts as a strong host (human) T-cell antigen. Involved in translocation of bacteria from the host (human) phagolysosome to the host cytoplasm. Might serve as a chaperone to prevent uncontrolled membrane lysis by its partner EsxA; native protein binds poorly to artificial liposomes in the absence or presence of EsxA. EsxA and EsxA-EsxB are cytotoxic to pneumocytes. EsxB (and EsxA-EsxB but not EsxA alone) activates human neutrophils; EsxB transiently induces host (human) intracellular Ca(2+) mobility in a dose-depend [...]

Rv3004, (MT3084.1, MTV012.18), len: 112 aa. Cfp6,low molecular weight protein antigen 6 (CFP-6) (See Bhaskar et al., 2000). Weak homology with Q9RKZ5|SC6D7.02 putative membrane protein from Streptomyces coelicolor (156 aa),FASTA scores: opt: 109, E(): 0.78, (39.4% identity in 122 aa overlap). Caution: the initiator methionine may be further upstream making the sequence a precursor. Predicted to be an outer membrane protein (See Song et al., 2008).
