General annotation
TypeCDS
FunctionTryptophan biosynthesis pathway (fifth - last step). The alpha subunit is responsible for the ALDOL cleavage of indoleglycerol phosphate to indole and glyceraldehyde 3- phosphate. [catalytic activity: L-serine + 1-(indol-3-YL)glycerol 3-phosphate = L-tryptophan + glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate + H(2)O.]
ProductProbable tryptophan synthase, alpha subunit TrpA
CommentsRv1613, (MTCY01B2.05), len: 270 aa. Probable trpA, tryptophan synthase alpha chain. FASTA best: O68906|TRPA_MYCIT tryptophan synthase alpha chain from Mycobacterium intracellulare (271 aa), opt: 1442, E(): 0, (85.3% identity in 265 aa overlap).
Functional categoryIntermediary metabolism and respiration
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 Triton X-114 extracts of M. tuberculosis H37Rv (See Malen et al., 2010). Identified by mass spectrometry in M. tuberculosis H37Rv-infected guinea pig lungs at 90 days but not 30 days (See Kruh 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). Translational start site supported by proteomics data (See Kelkar 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). 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).
