FunctionInvolved in third step (first of two transformylation reactions) in de novo purine biosynthesis. This is an alternative enzyme to the PURN|Rv0956 gar transformylase (5'-phosphoribosylglycinamide formyltransferase). Catalyzes two reactions: the first one is the production of beta-formyl glycinamide ribonucleotide (gar) from formate, ATP and beta gar; the second, a side reaction, is the production of acetyl phosphate and ADP from acetate and ATP [catalytic activity: formate + ATP + 5'-phospho-ribosylglycinamide = 5'-phosphoribosyl-N-formylglycinamide + ADP + pyrophosphate].
ProductProbable phosphoribosylglycinamide formyltransferase 2 PurT (GART 2) (gar transformylase 2) (5'-phosphoribosylglycinamide transformylase 2) (formate-dependent gar transformylase)
CommentsRv0389, (MTCY04D9.01, MTV036.24), len: 419 aa. Probable purT, phosphoribosylglycinamide formyltransferase 2, similar to others e.g. P33221|PURT_ECOLI|B1849 phosphoribosylglycinamide formyltransferase 2 from Escherichia coli strain K-12 (391 aa), FASTA scores: opt: 481, E(): 1.3e-22, (40.1% identity in 379 aa overlap); etc. Belongs to the PurK / PurT family. Cofactor: magnesium.
Functional categoryIntermediary metabolism and respiration
ProteomicsIdentified in the cytosol of M. tuberculosis H37Rv using 2DLC/MS (See Mawuenyega et al., 2005). Identified by mass spectrometry in Triton X-114 extracts of M. tuberculosis H37Rv (See Malen et al., 2010). Identified by mass spectrometry in the membrane protein fraction and whole cell lysates of M. tuberculosis H37Rv but not the culture filtrate (See de Souza et al., 2011). Translational start site supported by proteomics data (See de Souza et al., 2011).
MutantNon-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 strain (see Sassetti et al., 2003). Non-essential gene for in vitro growth of H37Rv, by Himar1 transposon mutagenesis (See Griffin et al., 2011).
