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 [...]

Anti-sigma factor RseA; An anti-sigma factor for extracytoplasmic function (ECF) sigma factor SigE. ECF sigma factors are held in an inactive form by an anti-sigma factor; Belongs to the zinc-associated anti-sigma factor (ZAS) superfamily.

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.

Possible hydrolase; Protease that hydrolyzes the covalent CysO-cysteine adduct synthesized by CysM to release L-cysteine and regenerate CysO.

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 [...]

Polyketide synthase Pks2; Catalyzes the synthesis of the hepta- and octamethyl phthioceranic acids and/or hydroxyphthioceranic acids that are the major acyl constituents of sulfolipids.

Rv2940c, (MTCY24G1.09, MTCY19H9.08c), len: 2111 aa. Probable mas, mycocerosic acid synthase membrane associated, multifunctional enzyme (see citations below),almost identical to Q02251|MCAS_MYCBO|mas mycocerosic acid synthase from Mycobacterium bovis (2110 aa), FASTA scores: opt: 13226, E(): 0, (95.8% identity in 2115 aa overlap) (see Mathur & Kolattukudy 1992); and equivalent to Q9CD78|mas|ML0139 putative mycocerosic synthase from Mycobacterium leprae (2116 aa), FASTA scores: opt: 12142,E(): 0, (87.95% identity in 2119 aa overlap); and Q49624|PKS3|MASA|ML1229|B1170_C2_209 probable myc [...]

Polyketide synthase Pks12; Rv2048c, (MTV018.35c), len: 4151 aa. Pks12,polyketide synthase similar to many. Contains 2x PS00012 Phosphopantetheine attachment site, 2x PS00606 Beta-ketoacyl synthases active site, and PS00343 Gram-positive cocci surface proteins 'anchoring' hexapeptide. Nucleotide position 2297976 in the genome sequence has been corrected, G:A resulting in S3004L.

Phenolpthiocerol synthesis type-I polyketide synthase PpsC; Involved in the elongation of either C22-24 fatty acids by the addition of malonyl-CoA and methylmalonyl-CoA extender units to yield phthiocerol derivatives.
