Rv0540, (MTCY25D10.19), len: 220 aa. Conserved hypothetical protein, similar to hypothetical proteins from Streptomyces coelicolor: CAB76990.1|AL159178 (213 aa); N-terminus of BAA84086.1|AB032065 (446 aa); and CAB61872.1|AL133252|SCE46_21 (210 aa), FASTA scores: opt: 267, E(): 5.3e-10, (32.7% identity in 202 aa overlap). Also some similarity with D90913_63|PCC6803 from Synecho cystis sp (211 aa), FASTA scores: opt: 189, E(): 4.7e-06, (25.3 identity in 194 aa overlap).

Probable lipase/esterase LipN; Non specific carboxylic ester hydrolase. Hydrolyzes various pNP-esters, with a preference for short carbon chain substrates. Can also hydrolyze tributyrin to di- and monobutyrin and 4- hydroxyphenylacetate to hydroquinone; Belongs to the 'GDXG' lipolytic enzyme family.

Hypothetical alanine and proline rich protein; Has a dual function in uptake of nutrients and induction of host cell death. The N-terminal domain (NTD) forms an outer membrane channel and is used for uptake of nutrients across the outer membrane. The secreted C-terminal toxic domain (TNT) acts as a glycohydrolase, which hydrolyzes the essential cellular coenzyme NAD(+) in the cytosol of infected macrophages, leading to necrotic host cell death. Both functions are required for survival, replication and cytotoxicity of M.tuberculosis in macrophages.
