Rv2609c, (MTCY01A10.24), len: 351 aa. Probable conserved membrane protein, equivalent to O07146|MLCL581.13c|ML0451 hypothetical 37.9 KDA protein from Mycobacterium leprae (349 aa), FASTA scores: opt: 1675, E(): 1.4e-95, (77.85% identity in 334 aa overlap). Also similar to hypothetical proteins: O69888|SC2E1.17|mutt hypothetical 19.4 KDA protein from Streptomyces coelicolor and Streptomyces lividans (172 aa), FASTA scores: opt: 345,E(): 3.5e-14, (44.7% identity in 161 aa overlap); Q9L285|SCL2.14c hypothetical 19.8 KDA protein from Streptomyces coelicolor (180 aa), FASTA scores: opt: 179 [...]

Phosphatidylinositol phosphate synthase; Catalyzes the conjugation of the 1'-hydroxyl group of D-myo- inositol-3-phosphate (also named L-myo-inositol-1-phosphate) with a lipid tail of cytidine diphosphate diacylglycerol (CDP-DAG), forming phosphatidylinositol phosphate (PIP) and CMP. PIP is a precursor of phosphatidylinositol (PI) which is an essential lipid for mycobacteria required for formation of their cell wall.

Mannosyltransferase PimB; Involved in the biosynthesis of phosphatidyl-myo-inositol mannosides (PIM) which are early precursors in the biosynthesis of lipomannans (LM) and lipoarabinomannans (LAM). Catalyzes the addition of a mannosyl residue from GDP-D-mannose (GDP- Man) to the position 6 of a phosphatidyl-myo-inositol bearing an alpha- 1,2-linked mannose residue (PIM1) to generate phosphatidyl-myo-inositol bearing alpha-1,2- and alpha-1,6-linked mannose residues (Ac1PIM2). PimB also catalyzes the addition of a mannosyl residue from GDP-Man to the position 6 of phosphatidyl-myo-inosit [...]

Conserved protein; Catabolizes diadenosine 5',5'''-P1,P4-tetraphosphate (Ap4A) into ADP and ATP. It does not catalyze the reverse phosphorolysis reaction. The optimum substrates are dinucleoside polyphosphates containing four or five phosphate residues.

Probable threonyl-tRNA synthetase ThrS (threonine-tRNA synthetase)(ThrRS) (threonine-tRNA ligase); Catalyzes the attachment of threonine to tRNA(Thr) in a two- step reaction: L-threonine is first activated by ATP to form Thr-AMP and then transferred to the acceptor end of tRNA(Thr). Also edits incorrectly charged L-seryl-tRNA(Thr).

1,4-alpha-glucan branching enzyme GlgB (glycogen branching enzyme); Essential enzyme that catalyzes the formation of the alpha- 1,6-glucosidic linkages in glucan chains by scission of a 1,4-alpha- linked oligosaccharide from growing alpha-1,4-glucan chains and the subsequent attachment of the oligosaccharide to the alpha-1,6 position. Is involved in the biosynthesis of both glycogen and capsular alpha-D- glucan.

Maltooligosyltrehalose trehalohydrolase TreZ; Is involved in the biosynthesis of trehalose but not in that of capsular glucan and glycogen.

Hypothetical protein; Rv2529, (MTCY159.27c), len: 463 aa. Hypothetical unknown protein. Note that C-terminal part is similar to short region of Q53609|MTS1_STRAL|SALIM modification methylase SALI from Streptomyces albus G (587 aa), FASTA scores: opt: 170, E(): 0.016, (59.45% identity in 37 aa overlap).

(2E,6E)-farnesyl diphosphate synthase; Catalyzes the condensation of isopentenyl pyrophosphate (IPP) with geranyl diphosphate (GPP) to yield (2E,6E)-farnesyl diphosphate (E,E-FPP). May be used for squalene and possibly sterol biosynthesis. Belongs to the FPP/GGPP synthase family.
