Gene ML1900
in Mycobacterium leprae TN
General annotation
| Type | CDS |
| Function | INVOLVED IN MYCOLIC ACIDS MODIFICATION. CATALYZES UNUSUAL S-ADENOSYL-METHIONINE-DEPENDENT TRANSFORMATION OF A CIS-OLEFIN MYCOLIC ACID INTO A SECONDARY ALCOHOL. CATALYZES INTRODUCTION OF A HYDROXYL GROUP AT THE DISTAL POSITION ON MYCOLIC ACID CHAINS TO PRODUCE THE HYDROXYL MYCOLATE. Mycolic acids represent a major constituent of the mycobacterial cell wall complex. Methyl transfer results in formation of a secondary hydroxy group with an adjacent methyl branch; Olefinic mycolic acid methyl transferase. |
| Product | METHOXY MYCOLIC ACID SYNTHASE 1 MMAA1 (METHYL MYCOLIC ACID SYNTHASE 1) (MMA1) (HYDROXY MYCOLIC ACID SYNTHASE) |
| Comments | ML1900, len: 286 aa. Probable mmaA1, methyl mycolic acid synthase 1 (EC 2.1.1.-). Similar to M. tuberculosis methyl mycolic acid synthase 1 Rv0645c TR:P94922 (EMBL:U77466) (286 aa), Fasta scores: E(): 0, 87.4% identity in 286 aa overlap, and to many others e.g. M. tuberculosis cyclopropane-fatty-acyl-phospholipid synthase 1 SW:CFA1_MYCTU (Q11195) (287 aa), Fasta scores: E(): 0, 54.9% identity in 284 aa overlap. Also similar to ML2459, ML2426 and ML2334 from M. leprae. |
