Nodes:
Network nodes represent proteins
splice isoforms or post-translational modifications are collapsed, i.e. each node represents all the proteins produced by a single, protein-coding gene locus.
Node Color
colored nodes:
query proteins and first shell of interactors
white nodes:
second shell of interactors
Node Content
empty nodes:
proteins of unknown 3D structure
filled nodes:
a 3D structure is known or predicted
Edges:
Edges represent protein-protein associations
associations are meant to be specific and meaningful, i.e. proteins jointly contribute to a shared function; this does not necessarily mean they are physically binding to each other.
Known Interactions
from curated databases
experimentally determined
Predicted Interactions
gene neighborhood
gene fusions
gene co-occurrence
Others
textmining
co-expression
protein homology

pepARv0125, (MTCI418B.07, MTB32A), len: 355 aa. Probable pepA (alternate gene name: mtb32a), serine protease (see Skeiky et al., 1999), highly similar to other proteases e.g. HHOB_ECOLI|P31137 protease hhob precursor (355 aa),FASTA scores: opt: 400, E(): 3.8e-14, (32.4% identity in 346 aa overlap). Also similar to Q50320 34 kDa protein precursor from Mycobacterium tuberculosis (361 aa), FASTA scores: opt: 1689, E(): 0, (70.7% identity in 362 aa overlap). Contains PS00135 Serine proteases, trypsin family, serine active site. Has a putative signal sequence at the N-terminus. Belongs to the s [...] (355 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
mpa
Mycobacterial proteasome ATPase Mpa; ATPase which is responsible for recognizing, binding, unfolding and translocation of pupylated proteins into the bacterial 20S proteasome core particle. May be essential for opening the gate of the 20S proteasome via an interaction with its C-terminus, thereby allowing substrate entry and access to the site of proteolysis. Thus, the C-termini of the proteasomal ATPase may function like a 'key in a lock' to induce gate opening and therefore regulate proteolysis. Is required but not sufficient to confer resistance against the lethal effects of reactiv [...]

treS
Trehalose synthase TreS; Catalyzes the reversible interconversion of maltose and trehalose by transglucosylation. Also displays amylase activity, catalyzing the endohydrolysis of (1->4)-alpha-D- glucosidic linkages in glycogen and maltooligosaccharides such as maltoheptaose, to produce maltose which then can be converted to trehalose. TreS plays a key role in the utilization of trehalose for the production of glycogen and alpha-glucan via the TreS-Pep2 branch involved in the biosynthesis of maltose-1-phosphate (M1P). Might also function as a sensor and/or regulator of trehalose levels [...]

PPE18
PPE family protein PPE18; Could be a crucial virulence factor for intracellular survival of M.tuberculosis. Favors development of Th2-type response, and downregulates the proinflammatory and Th1-type response. Specifically interacts with the human Toll-like receptor 2 (TLR2), leading to an early and sustained activation of p38 MAPK, which induces IL-10 production and activates Th2-type immune response. Also inhibits proinflammatory cytokines IL-12p40 and TNF-alpha production. Acts by upregulating the expression as well as tyrosine phosphorylation of suppressor of cytokine signaling 3 ( [...]

glpK
Probable glycerol kinase GlpK (ATP:glycerol 3-phosphotransferase) (glycerokinase) (GK); Key enzyme in the regulation of glycerol uptake and metabolism. Catalyzes the phosphorylation of glycerol to yield sn- glycerol 3-phosphate; Belongs to the FGGY kinase family.
  
 0.767
prcB
Proteasome beta subunit PrcB; Component of the proteasome core, a large protease complex with broad specificity involved in protein degradation. The M.tuberculosis proteasome is able to cleave oligopeptides not only after hydrophobic but also after basic, acidic and small neutral residues. In complex with the ATPase Mpa, degrades protein targets conjugated to a prokaryotic ubiquitin-like protein (Pup). Among the identified substrates of the M.tuberculosis proteasome are the pupylated FabD, PanB and Mpa proteins. One function of the proteasome is to contribute to M.tuberculosis ability [...]

mec
Possible hydrolase; Protease that hydrolyzes the covalent CysO-cysteine adduct synthesized by CysM to release L-cysteine and regenerate CysO.
   
 0.708
mak
Maltokinase Mak; Catalyzes the ATP-dependent phosphorylation of maltose to maltose 1-phosphate (By similarity). Is involved in a branched alpha- glucan biosynthetic pathway from trehalose, together with TreS, GlgE and GlgB; Belongs to the aminoglycoside phosphotransferase family.

mas
Rv2940c, (MTCY24G1.09, MTCY19H9.08c), len: 2111 aa.

Nucleotide position 2297976 in the genome sequence has been corrected, G:A resulting in S3004L.
