Rv3273, (MTCY71.13), len: 764 aa. Probable transmembrane protein (N-terminal part is hydrophobic) with probable carbonic anhydrase activity (in C-terminal part). Possibly involved in transport of sulfate. Equivalent to Q9CBA3|ML2279 putative transmembrane transport protein from Mycobacterium leprae (496 aa), FASTA scores: opt: 1637,E(): 1.8e-89, (59.15% identity in 487 aa overlap). Similar to various proteins (principally sulfate transporters) e.g. Q9X927|SCH5.25 putative integral membrane protein from Streptomyces coelicolor (830 aa), FASTA scores: opt: 1325,E(): 8e-71, (40.85% identi [...]

Probable adenine glycosylase MutY; Adenine glycosylase active on G:A and C:A mispairs, as well as processing 7,8-dihydro-8-oxoguanine:A (8-oxoG) mismatches. Minor activity against 8-oxoG:G and 8-oxo:T mismatches is also seen. Bind dsDNA oligonucleotides containing the above mismatches.

Rv3525c, (MTCY3C7.31), len: 174 aa. Possible siderophore-binding protein, similar to ferripyochelin binding proteins (and related) e.g. Q9RSN5|DR2089 ferripyochelin-binding protein from Deinococcus radiodurans (240 aa), FASTA scores: opt: 472, E(): 3.3e-21, (46.9% identity in 162 aa overlap); O59257|PH1591 long hypothetical ferripyochelin binding protein from Pyrococcus horikoshii (173 aa), FASTA scores: opt: 431, E(): 6.7e-19,(40.0% identity in 170 aa overlap); Q9V158|FBP|PAB0393 ferripyochelin binding protein from Pyrococcus abyssi (173 aa), FASTA scores: opt: 429, E(): 8.9e-19, (39. [...]

Adenine phosphoribosyltransferase; Catalyzes a salvage reaction resulting in the formation of AMP, that is energically less costly than de novo synthesis.

Rv3587c, (MTV024.05c), len: 264 aa. Probable conserved membrane protein, equivalent to Q9CBJ2|ML1918 hypothetical membrane protein from Mycobacterium leprae (263 aa), FASTA scores: opt: 1438, E(): 2.4e-57, (77.55% identity in 267 aa overlap). Contains hydrophobic stretch in N-terminus; possible signal sequence. A core mycobacterial gene; conserved in mycobacterial strains (See Marmiesse et al., 2004). Predicted to be an outer membrane protein (See Song et al., 2008).

Rv1707, (MTCI125.29), len: 486 aa. Probable conserved transmembrane protein, possibly involved in transport of sulfate, similar to several hypothetical proteins belonging to the sulfate permease family e.g. P40877|YCHM_ECOLI hypothetical 58.4 kDa protein in pth-prsa intergenic region from Escherichia coli (550 aa), FASTA scores: opt: 486, E(): 0, (33.1% identity in 492 aa overlap). Also similar to many other Mycobacterium tuberculosis membrane proteins e.g. Rv3273, Rv1739c. Seems to belong to the SulP family.

Probable phosphoribosylaminoimidazole carboxylase catalytic subunit PurE (air carboxylase) (AIRC); Catalyzes the conversion of N5-carboxyaminoimidazole ribonucleotide (N5-CAIR) to 4-carboxy-5-aminoimidazole ribonucleotide (CAIR); Belongs to the AIR carboxylase family. Class I subfamily.

Rv0782, (MTCY369.26), len: 552 aa. Probable ptrBb,second part of protease II, equivalent to C-terminus of NP_302455.1|NC_002677 protease II from Mycobacterium leprae (724 aa). Also highly similar to N-termini of many proteases II e.g. P24555|PTRB_ECOLI|TLP|B1845 protease II from Escherichia coli strains K12 and HB101 (707 aa), FASTA scores: opt: 1251, E(): 0, (42.7% identity in 489 aa overlap); etc. ORFs Rv0782 and Rv0781 appear to be a frameshifted homologues of protease II, but we can find no error in the cosmid sequence to account for this. Belongs to peptidase family S9A; also know [...]

Probable succinyl-diaminopimelate desuccinylase DapE; Catalyzes the hydrolysis of N-succinyl-L,L-diaminopimelic acid (SDAP), forming succinate and LL-2,6-diaminoheptanedioate (DAP), an intermediate involved in the bacterial biosynthesis of lysine and meso-diaminopimelic acid.
