Fatty-acid-AMP ligase FadD28 (fatty-acid-AMP synthetase) (fatty-acid-AMP synthase); Catalyzes the activation of long-chain fatty acids (C22-24 fatty acids) as acyl-adenylates (acyl-AMP), which are then transferred to the multifunctional polyketide synthase Mas for further chain extension. Involved in the biosynthesis of mycoserates. Probably plays a role in host phagosome maturation arrest. Belongs to the ATP-dependent AMP-binding enzyme family.

Phenolpthiocerol synthesis type-I polyketide synthase PpsE; Involved in the elongation of either C22-24 fatty acids by the addition of malonyl-CoA and methylmalonyl-CoA extender units to yield phthiocerol derivatives.

Possible conserved polyketide synthase associated protein PapA2; Catalyzes the acylation of trehalose-2-sulfate by adding the palmitoyl group at the 2'-position to yield the intermediate trehalose- 2-sulfate-2'-palmitate (SL659) during the cell wall sulfolipid-1 (SL-1) biosynthesis; Belongs to the PapA acyltransferase family.

Probable daunorubicin-dim-transport integral membrane protein ABC transporter DrrC; Probably part of the ABC transporter complex DrrABC involved in doxorubicin resistance. Probably responsible for the translocation of the substrate across the membrane; Belongs to the ABC-2 integral membrane protein family.

PPE family protein PPE42; Elicits a high humoral and a low T-cell response. Could be involved in directing the host toward development of a more humoral type of immune response; Belongs to the mycobacterial PPE family.

PPE family protein PPE54; Probably plays a role in host phagosome maturation arrest.

PPE family protein PPE34; Facilitates a shift in the ensuing immunity toward the Th2 phenotype and could aid in immune evasion by mycobacteria. Interacts with human Toll-like receptor 2 (TLR2) and triggers functional maturation of human dendritic cells (DCs), leading to secretion of IL- 4, IL-5 and IL-10 from CD4(+) T cells and induction of Th2 immune response. Maturation of DCs involves PI3K, ERK1/2, p38 MAPK and NF- kappa-B signaling pathways.

Conserved polyketide synthase associated protein PapA1; Catalyzes the acylation of trehalose-2-sulfate-2'-palmitate (SL659) by adding the (hydroxy)phthioceranoyl group at the 3'-position to yield the diacylated intermediate 2-palmitoyl-3-(C43)-phthioceranyl- alpha, alpha'-D-trehalose-2'-sulfate (SL1278) during the cell wall sulfolipid-1 (SL-1) biosynthesis; Belongs to the PapA acyltransferase family.

PPE family protein PPE8; Rv0355c, (MTCY13E10.15c, MTCY13E10.16c,MTCY13E10.17c), len: 3300 aa. PPE8, Member of the Mycobacterium tuberculosis PPE family, similar to others e.g. AL009198|MTV004_5 from Mycobacterium tuberculosis (3716 aa), FASTA scores: opt: 2906, E(): 0, (40.9% identity in 3833 aa overlap); MTV004_3 FASTA scores: (39.0% identity in 3531 aa overlap); etc. Gene contains large number of clustered Major Polymorphic Tandem Repeats (MPTR).
