TypeCDS
FunctionInvolved in both arginine and pyrimidine biosynthesis [catalytic activity: 2 ATP + L-glutamine + CO(2) + H(2)O = 2 ADP + phosphate + glutamate + carbamoyl phosphate]
ProductProbable carbamoyl-phosphate synthase small chain CarA (carbamoyl-phosphate synthetase glutamine chain)
CommentsRv1383, (MTCY02B12.17), len: 376 aa. Probable carA, Carbamoyl-phosphate synthase small chain, similar to many e.g. CARA_ECOLI|P00907 carbamoyl-phosphate synthase small chain from Escherichia coli (382 aa), FASTA scores: opt: 796, E(): 0, (45.5% identity in 382 aa overlap). Contains PS00442 Glutamine amidotransferases class-I active site. The gatase domain belongs to type-1 glutamine amidotransferases. subunit: composed of two chains; the small (or glutamine) chain promotes the hydrolysis of glutamine to ammonia, which is used by the large (or ammonia) chain to synthesize carbamoyl phosphate.
Functional categoryIntermediary metabolism and respiration
ProteomicsIdentified 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).
MutantEssential 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).
