Gene Rv1315
in Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv
General annotation
| Type | CDS |
| Function | Involved in cell wall formation; peptidoglycan biosynthesis. Adds enolpyruvyl to UDP-N-acetylglucosamine [catalytic activity: phosphoenolpyruvate + UDP-N-acetyl-D- glucosamine = phosphate + UDP-N-acetyl-3-O-(1-carboxyvinyl)-D-glucosamine] |
| Product | Probable UDP-N-acetylglucosamine 1-carboxyvinyltransferase MurA |
| Comments | Rv1315, (MTCY373.35-MTCY149.01), len: 418 aa. Probable murA, UDP-N-acetylglucosamine 1-carboxyvinyltransferase (see Belanger & Inamine 2000), highly similar to many e.g. MURA_MYCLE|P45821 (418 aa), FASTA scores: opt: 2495, E(): 0, (96.2% identity in 396 aa overlap). Belongs to the EPSP synthase family. MURA subfamily. |
| Functional category | Cell wall and cell processes |
| Proteomics | 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). |
| Transcriptomics | mRNA identified by microarray analysis; transcription repressed at low pH in vitro conditions, which may mimic an environmental signal encountered by phagocytosed bacteria (see Fisher et al., 2002). |
| Mutant | Essential gene for in vitro growth of H37Rv in a MtbYM rich medium, by Himar1 transposon mutagenesis (see Minato et al. 2019). Essential gene for in vitro growth of H37Rv, by analysis of saturated Himar1 transposon libraries (see DeJesus et al. 2017). Essential gene by Himar1 transposon mutagenesis in H37Rv strain (see Sassetti et al., 2003). Essential gene for in vitro growth of H37Rv, by Himar1 transposon mutagenesis (See Griffin et al., 2011).
