FunctionThis enzyme, together with transaldolase, provides a link between the glycolytic and pentose-phosphate pathways. It catalyzes the reversible transfer of a two-carbon KETOL unit from xylulose 5-phosphate to an aldose receptor [catalytic activity: sedoheptulose 7-phosphate + D-glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate = D-ribose 5-phosphate + D-xylulose 5-phosphate]
ProductTransketolase Tkt (TK)
CommentsRv1449c, (MTCY493.05), len: 700 aa. tkt, transketolase. Highly similar to several e.g. TKT_MYCLE|P46708 transketolase (tk) from Mycobacterium leprae (699 aa), FASTA scores: opt: 4216, E(): 0, (89.1% identity in 700 aa overlap). Start site chosen by homology. Contains PS00801 Transketolase signature 1. Belongs to the transketolase family. Thought to be differentially expressed within host cells (see Triccas et al., 1999).
Functional categoryIntermediary metabolism and respiration
ProteomicsIdentified by proteomics at the Statens Serum Institute (Denmark) (see Rosenkrands et al., 2000). Identified in the membrane fraction of M. tuberculosis H37Rv using 1D-SDS-PAGE and uLC-MS/MS (See Gu et al., 2003). Identified in the cytosol of M. tuberculosis H37Rv using 2DLC/MS (See Mawuenyega et al., 2005). Identified in culture filtrates of M. tuberculosis H37Rv (See Malen et al., 2007). Identified by mass spectrometry in Triton X-114 extracts of M. tuberculosis H37Rv (See Malen et al., 2010). Identified by mass spectrometry in the culture filtrate, membrane protein fraction, and whole cell lysates of M. tuberculosis H37Rv (See de Souza et al., 2011). Translational start site supported by proteomics data (See de Souza et al., 2011) (See Kelkar 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).
