Probable conserved secreted protein TB22.2; Hydrolyzes ester substrates carbon chain lengths ranging from C2 to C14. In vitro, acetate (C2), butyrate (C4) and caprylate (C6) are hydrolyzed with high efficiency. Has lower activity against laurate (C12), myristate (C14) and caproate (C8), and weak activity against palmitate (C16).

Conserved membrane protein; May play a role in septum formation.

Rv0175, (MTCI28.15), len: 213 aa. Probable conserved Mce-associated membrane protein, equivalent, but longer in N-terminus, to CAC32127.1|AL583926 possible membrane protein from Mycobacterium leprae (182 aa). Also similar to mce-associated proteins from Mycobacterium tuberculosis e.g. Rv1363c, Rv0177, Rv1973, etc. Contains two 12 residue direct repeats at N-terminus. A core mycobacterial gene; conserved in mycobacterial strains (See Marmiesse et al.,2004).

50S ribosomal protein L2 RplB; One of the primary rRNA binding proteins. Required for association of the 30S and 50S subunits to form the 70S ribosome, for tRNA binding and peptide bond formation. It has been suggested to have peptidyltransferase activity; this is somewhat controversial. Makes several contacts with the 16S rRNA in the 70S ribosome. Belongs to the universal ribosomal protein uL2 family.
