ProductMce-family protein Mce2C
CommentsRv0591, (MTCY19H5.31c), len: 481 aa. Mce2C; belongs to 24-membered Mycobacterium tuberculosis Mce protein family (see citations below), highly similar to Mycobacterium tuberculosis proteins O07415|R0171|MTCI28.11|mce1C (515 aa); O53969|Rv1968|MTV051.06|mce3C (410 aa); etc. Also highly similar to others e.g. NP_302658.1|NC_002677 putative secreted protein from Mycobacterium leprae (519 aa); CAC12796.1|AL445327 putative secreted protein from Streptomyces coelicolor (351 aa); etc. Contains PS00017 ATP/GTP-binding site motif A (P-loop), and may contain N-terminal signal or anchor sequence. Has highly Pro-rich C-terminus.
Functional categoryVirulence, detoxification, adaptation
ProteomicsIdentified by mass spectrometry in M. tuberculosis H37Rv-infected guinea pig lungs at 90 days but not 30 days (See Kruh et al., 2010).
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). M. tuberculosis H37Rv Rv0587-Rv0594 mutant growth in liquid broth, RAW macrophages, and C57BL/6 mouse lungs is comparable to wild-type; RAW macrophages infected with mutant produce less TNF-alpha and IL-6 than with wild-type; C57BL/6 mice infected with mutant live longer than those infected with wild-type; lung pathology in C57BL/6 mice infected with mutant is reduced compared to wild-type (See Marjanovic et al., 2009).
