Probable aspartate 1-decarboxylase precursor PanD (aspartate alpha-decarboxylase); Catalyzes the pyruvoyl-dependent decarboxylation of aspartate to produce beta-alanine; Belongs to the PanD family.

Conserved hypothetical protein; Catalyzes the NADPH-dependent reduction of ketopantoate into pantoic acid.

Rv0189c, (MTCI28.28c), len: 575 aa. Probable ilvD,dihydroxy-acid dehydratase, similar to many e.g. ILVD_LACLA|Q02139 dihydroxy-acid dehydratase (dad) from Lactococcus lactis (subsp. lactis) (Streptococcus lactis) (570 aa), FASTA scores: opt: 1605, E(): 0, (46.0% identity in 561 aa overlap). Also similar to ML2608|MLCL622.06c|O06069|ILVD_MYCLE dihydroxy-acid dehydratase from Mycobacterium leprae (564 aa). Contains PS00886 Dihydroxy-acid and 6-phosphogluconate dehydratases signature 1. Belongs to the ILVD / EDD family. Cofactor: binds 1 4FE-4S cluster (potential).

Branched-chain amino acid transaminase IlvE; Catalyzes the reversible transfers of an amino group from glutamate to the alpha-ketoacid of the respective amino acid in the final step in the biosynthesis of branchedchain amino acids. The amino acids can be ranked in the following order with respect to their efficiency as amino donor: Leu > Ile > Val. Belongs to the class-IV pyridoxal-phosphate-dependent aminotransferase family.

Rv3603c, (MTCY07H7B.19), len: 303 aa. Conserved hypothetical ala-, leu-rich protein, identical except at N-terminus (really different) to AAK48066|MT3708 chalcone/stilbene synthase family protein from Mycobacterium tuberculosis strain CDC1551 (361 aa) FASTA scores: opt: 1742, E(): 8.3e-95, (100.0% identity in 275 aa overlap). Equivalent to O69525|MLCB2548.02c|ML0229 hypothetical 32.7 KDA protein from Mycobacterium leprae (309 aa), FASTA scores: opt: 947, E(): 2.4e-48, (67.85% identity in 311 aa overlap).

Proteasome accessory factor a PafA; Catalyzes the covalent attachment of the prokaryotic ubiquitin-like protein modifier Pup to the proteasomal substrate proteins, thereby targeting them for proteasomal degradation. This tagging system is termed pupylation. The ligation reaction involves the side-chain carboxylate of the C-terminal glutamate of Pup and the side- chain amino group of a substrate lysine. PafA is required to confer resistance against the lethal effects of reactive nitrogen intermediates (RNI), antimicrobial molecules produced by activated macrophages and other cell types.

Conserved protein; Rv2226, (MTCY427.07), len: 513 aa. Conserved protein, similar to hypothetical secreted protein (510 aa) from Streptomyces coelicolor A3(2) emb|CAB59601.1| (AL132662) hypothetical secreted protein [Streptomyces coelicolor. Smith-Waterman scores Expect = 5e-44 Identities = 166/506 (32%).

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 [...]

Probable GMP synthase [glutamine-hydrolyzing] GuaA (glutamine amidotransferase) (GMP synthetase); Catalyzes the synthesis of GMP from XMP.
