Possible lysophospholipase; Involved in the hydrolysis of exogenous host lipids during chronic infection. Catalyzes the hydrolysis of both monoacylglycerols (MAG) and diacylglycerols (DAG). It hydrolyzes 2-MAG, 1-3-MAG and MAG with short, medium and long chain fatty acids such as 1-monobutyroyl- rac-glycerol (MC4), 1-mono-octanoyl-rac-glycerol (MC8), 1-monodecanoyl- rac-glycerol (MC10), 1-monolauroyl-rac-glycerol (MC12), 1- monomyristoyl-rac-glycerol (MC14) and 1-mono-oleyl-rac-glycerol (MC18:1). Also able to hydrolyze DAG with short (DiC6) and medium (DiC10) fatty acid chains, but not [...]

Rv0887c, (MTCY31.15c), len: 152 aa. Conserved hypothetical protein, highly similar to others e.g. NP_436346.1|NC_003037 Hypothetical protein from Sinorhizobium meliloti (149 aa); AL132644|SCI8_26 hypothetical protein from Streptomyces coelicolor (194 aa),FASTA scores: opt: 220, E(): 1.5e-07, (33.6% identity in 131 aa overlap); etc. Also shows weak similarity with transposases and related proteins.

Probable alternative RNA polymerase sigma factor SigG (RNA polymerase ECF type sigma factor); Sigma factors are initiation factors that promote the attachment of RNA polymerase to specific initiation sites and are then released. Extracytoplasmic function (ECF) sigma factors are held in an inactive form by a cognate anti-sigma factor until released, although no anti-sigma factor is known for this protein. May be involved in host intracellular survival after infection (strains H37Rv and CDC 1551). A role in the SOS response is controversial; it has been seen in strain CDC 1551 but not i [...]

Hypothetical protein; Rv0942, (MTCY10D7.32c), len: 92 aa. Hypothetical unknown protein.

Rv0912, (MTCY21C12.06), len: 149 aa. Probable conserved transmembrane protein, equivalent to Q50121|NP_302397.1|NC_002677 conserved hypothetical protein from Mycobacterium leprae (144 aa), FASTA scores: opt: 677,E(): 6.9e-38, (69.5% identity in 141 aa overlap). A core mycobacterial gene; conserved in mycobacterial strains (See Marmiesse et al., 2004).

Conserved protein; Rv0911, (MTCY21C12.05), len: 257 aa. Conserved protein, showing similarity with hydroxylases and hypothetical proteins e.g. T35325 probable hydroxylase from Streptomyces coelicolor (265 aa); Q54242 hypothetical protein from Streptomyces, FASTA scores: opt: 372, E(): 8.8e-18, (32.0% identity in 256 aa overlap); AAD04716.1|U77891 doxorubicin biosynthesis enzyme DnrV from Streptomyces peucetius (275 aa); AAA63051.1|U15184 hypothetical protein from Mycobacterium leprae (94 aa); etc. Also similar to Rv0577 hypothetical protein from Mycobacterium tuberculosis (261 aa).

Rv0179c, (MTCI28.19c), len: 369 aa. Possible lprO,lipoprotein (visibly not conserved). Contains possible N-terminal signal sequence and PS00013 Prokaryotic membrane lipoprotein lipid attachment site.

Succinate-semialdehyde dehydrogenase [NADP+] dependent (SSDH) GabD1; Catalyzes the NADP(+)-dependent oxidation of succinate semialdehyde to succinate. It is believed to be the main source of succinate semialdehyde dehydrogenase activity in Mycobacterium. NAD(+) can substitute for NADP(+), but enzymatic activity is three times reduced.

Possible succinate-semialdehyde dehydrogenase [NADP+] dependent (SSDH) GabD2; Catalyzes the NADP(+)-dependent oxidation of succinate semialdehyde to succinate. Although it has succinate semialdehyde dehydrogenase activity, is likely to act physiologically on a different aldehyde(s). NAD(+) can substitute for NADP(+), but enzymatic activity is three times reduced.
