Conserved protein; Binds to RNA polymerase (RNAP), stimulating and stabilizing the formation of stable RNAP promoter complexes up to 2-fold from principal sigma factor SigA-dependent but not alternative sigma factor SigF-dependent promoters. Increases the affinity of core RNAP for SigA, increasing the transcriptional activity of RNAP. Unlike the case in M.smegmatis or S.coelicolor, has no effect on rifampicin inhibition of transcription. Has no effect on E.coli RNAP. Belongs to the RNA polymerase-binding protein RbpA family.

DNA-directed RNA polymerase subunit beta; DNA-dependent RNA polymerase catalyzes the transcription of DNA into RNA using the four ribonucleoside triphosphates as substrates.

DNA-directed RNA polymerase subunit alpha; DNA-dependent RNA polymerase catalyzes the transcription of DNA into RNA using the four ribonucleoside triphosphates as substrates.

DNA-directed RNA polymerase subunit omega; Promotes RNA polymerase assembly. Latches the N- and C- terminal regions of the beta' subunit thereby facilitating its interaction with the beta and alpha subunits.

RNA polymerase sigma factor SigA (sigma-A); Sigma factors are initiation factors that promote the attachment of RNA polymerase to specific initiation sites and are then released. This sigma factor is the primary sigma factor during exponential growth (Probable); Belongs to the sigma-70 factor family. RpoD/SigA subfamily.

4-diphosphocytidyl-2C-methyl-D-erythritol synthase IspD (MEP cytidylyltransferase) (MCT); Catalyzes the formation of 4-diphosphocytidyl-2-C-methyl-D- erythritol from CTP and 2-C-methyl-D-erythritol 4-phosphate (MEP). Belongs to the IspD/TarI cytidylyltransferase family. IspD subfamily.

Probable transcriptional regulatory protein WhiB-like WhiB7; The apo- but not holo-form probably binds DNA (By similarity). Acts as a transcriptional regulator. Probably redox- responsive. Upon overproduction at least 10 other genes are up- regulated, among them are Rv1258c, Rv1988, Rv2301, Rv2416c, Rv2725c and whiB7 itself. Probably redox-responsive. The apo-form has been shown to act as a protein disulfide reductase.

Probable 2C-methyl-D-erythritol 2,4-cyclodiphosphate synthase IspF (MECPS); Involved in the biosynthesis of isopentenyl diphosphate (IPP) and dimethylallyl diphosphate (DMAPP), two major building blocks of isoprenoid compounds. Catalyzes the conversion of 4-diphosphocytidyl-2- C-methyl-D-erythritol 2-phosphate (CDP-ME2P) to 2-C-methyl-D-erythritol 2,4-cyclodiphosphate (ME-CPP) with a corresponding release of cytidine 5-monophosphate (CMP).

Rv1872c, (MTCY180.46, MTCY359.01), len: 414 aa (start uncertain). Possible lldD2, L-lactate dehydrogenase (cytochrome), similar to other lactate dehydrogenases and other oxidases e.g. LLDD_ECOLI|P33232 l-lactate dehydrogenase (cytochrome) from Escherichia coli strain K12 (396 aa), FASTA results: opt: 674, E(): 1.1e-37, (40.5% identity in 279 aa overlap); Q51135 lactate dehydrogenase from Neisseria meningitidis (390 aa), FASTA results: opt: 309, E(): 4.1e-15, (42.5% identity in 113 aa overlap); etc. Also shows similarity with Rv0694|lldD1|MTCY210.11 possible L-lactate dehydrogenase (cyt [...]
