General annotation
TypeCDS
FunctionThought to promote the resuscitation and growth of dormant, nongrowing cell. Could also stimulates the growth of several other high G+C gram+ organisms, e.g. Mycobacterium avium, Mycobacterium bovis (BCG), Mycobacterium kansasii, Mycobacterium smegmatis.
ProductProbable resuscitation-promoting factor RpfC
CommentsRv1884c, (MTCY180.34), len: 176 aa. Probable rpfC, resuscitation promoting factor (see citation below), similar to Z96935|MLRPF_1 resusicitation-promoting factor from Micrococcus luteus (220 aa), FASTA score: opt: 287, E() : 3.3e-11, (40.0% identity in 120 aa overlap). Also similar to others from Mycobacterium tuberculosis: Rv2389c|MTCY253.32|RPFD probable resuscitation-promoting factor (154 aa), FASTA score: opt: 382, E(): 7.1e-17, (55.4% identity in 101 aa overlap); Rv0867c|RPFA (N-terminal part), Rv2450c|RPFE, and Rv1009|RPFB (C-terminal part). Predicted possible vaccine candidate (See Zvi et al., 2008).
Functional categoryCell wall and cell processes
ProteomicsPredicted secreted protein - identified in culture filtrates of M. tuberculosis H37Rv; signal peptide predicted (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 M. tuberculosis H37Rv-infected guinea pig lungs at 30 days but not 90 days (See Kruh 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).
MutantNon-essential gene for in vitro growth of H37Rv in a MtbYM rich medium, by Himar1 transposon mutagenesis (see Minato et al. 2019). Disruption of this gene provides a growth advantage 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). Non essential gene by specialized transduction in M. tuberculosis Erdman; growth and persistence of mutant in mice are not attenuated (See Tufariello et al., 2004). M. tuberculosis H37Rv rpfACBD, rpfACBE, rpfACDE, and rpfACBED mutants show no growth defects in broth culture; growth of rpfACBD and rpfACBE mutants in human peripheral blood mononuclear cells is unaffected but growth in B6D2/F1 mice is attenuated (See Kana et al., 2008).
