FunctionInvolved in mycolic acid modification or synthesis.
ProductPossible mycolic acid synthase UmaA
CommentsRv0469, (MTV038.13), len: 286 aa. Possible umaA, mycolic acid synthase (see citations below), highly similar to CAC30854.1|AL583923 methyl mycolic acid synthase 1 from Mycobacterium leprae (286 aa); and CAC31976.1|AL583925 Mycolic acid synthase from Mycobacterium leprae (295 aa), FASTA scores: opt: 1402, E(): 0, (69.6% identity in 286 aa overlap). Also very similar to mycobacterial methyltransferases e.g. U77466|CmaD|MBU77466_1 (286 aa); MTCY20H10.26c|Z92772|MTY20H10_27 (296 aa); highly similar to CFA1_MYCTU|Q11195|U66108|MTU66108_1 cyclopropane-fatty-acyl-phospholipid synthase 1 (287 aa), FASTA scores: opt: 1360, E(): 0, (67.8% identity in 286 aa overlap) (see citation below); and very similar also to methoxy mycolic acid synthase 1 from Mycobacterium tuberculosis e.g. MTU66108_1 (286 aa). Note that previously known as umaA1.
Functional categoryLipid metabolism
ProteomicsIdentified in the membrane fraction of M. tuberculosis H37Rv using 1D-SDS-PAGE and uLC-MS/MS (See Gu et al., 2003). Identified by mass spectrometry in whole cell lysates of M. tuberculosis H37Rv but not the culture filtrate or membrane protein fraction (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). Non essential gene for growth in vitro by Tn5370 transposon mutagenesis of H37Rv strain but mutant is more virulent in SCID mice (see McAdam et al., 2002).
