Gene Mb2785c 
in Mycobacterium bovis AF2122/97
General annotation
      | Type | CDS | 
| Function | Unknown | 
| Product | dihydrofolate reductase dfra (dhfr) (tetrahydrofolate dehydrogenase) | 
| Comments | Mb2785c, dfrA, len: 159 aa. Equivalent to Rv2763c,len: 159 aa, from Mycobacterium tuberculosis strain H37Rv,(100.0% identity in 159 aa overlap). Probable dfrA (alternate gene name: folA), dihydrofolate reductase (EC 1.5.1.3), equivalent to O30463|FOLA DIHYDROFOLATE REDUCTASE from Mycobacterium avium (see citation below) (181 aa), FASTA scores: opt: 802, E(): 4.5e-48, (70.2% identity in 161 aa overlap); and Q9CBW1|FOLA|ML1518 DIHYDROFOLATE REDUCTASE from Mycobacterium leprae (165 aa), FASTA scores: opt: 782, E(): 1e-46, (70.55% identity in 163 aa overlap). Also highly similar to many e.g. Q9K168|DYR_NEIMB|FOLA|NMB0308 from Neisseria meningitidis (serogroup B) (162 aa), FASTA scores: opt: 469, E(): 3.8e-25, (46.65% identity in 163 aa overlap); P12833|DYR3_SALTY|DHFRIII from Salmonella typhimurium (162 aa), FASTA scores: opt: 367, E(): 4e-18, (45.4% identity in 141 aa overlap); Q59408|DYRC_ECOLI|DHFRXIII from Escherichia coli strain RA33.2 (165 aa), FASTA scores: opt: 313, E(): 2.2e-14, (41.9% identity in 136 aa overlap); etc. Contains PS00075 Dihydrofolate reductase signature. BELONGS TO THE DIHYDROFOLATE REDUCTASE FAMILY. |
