Gene Rv0253
in Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv
General annotation
| Type | CDS |
| Function | Involved in nitrate assimilation (denitrification); required for activity of the reductase [catalytic activity: 3 NAD(P)H + nitrite = 3 NAD(P)+ + NH4OH + H2O.] |
| Product | Probable nitrite reductase [NAD(P)H] small subunit NirD |
| Comments | Rv0253, (MTV034.19), len: 118 aa. Probable nirD, nitrite reductase [NAD(P)H] small subunit, similar to others e.g. P23675|NIRD_ECOLI|B3366|Z4727|ECS4217 from Escherichia coli strains K12 and O157:H7 (108 aa), FASTA scores: opt: 271, E():1.7e-12, (41.9% identity in 105 aa overlap). Associates with NIRB|Rv0252. |
| Functional category | Intermediary metabolism and respiration |
| Mutant | Non-essential gene for in vitro growth of H37Rv in a MtbYM rich medium, by Himar1 transposon mutagenesis (see Minato et al. 2019). Non-essential gene for in vitro growth of H37Rv, by analysis of saturated Himar1 transposon libraries (see DeJesus et al. 2017). Non essential gene by Himar1 transposon mutagenesis in H37Rv and CDC1551 strains (see Sassetti et al., 2003 and Lamichhane et al., 2003). Non-essential gene for in vitro growth of H37Rv, by Himar1 transposon mutagenesis (See Griffin et al., 2011). Check for mutants available at TARGET website |
