Gene Rv1953
in Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv
General annotation
| Type | CDS |
| Function | Unknown |
| Product | Possible toxin VapC14 |
| Comments | Rv1953, (MTCY09F9.11c), len: 103 aa. Possible vapC14, toxin, part of toxin-antitoxin (TA) operon with Rv1952, contains PIN domain (See Arcus et al., 2005; Pandey and Gerdes, 2005). Some similarity to O33827 plasmid stability-like protein from Thiobacillus ferrooxidans (143 aa), FASTA scores: opt: 170, E(): 3.5e-06, (45.3% identity in 75 aa overlap). |
| Functional category | Virulence, detoxification, adaptation |
| Mutant | Non-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 and CDC1551 strains (see Sassetti et al., 2003 and Lamichhane et al., 2003). Non-essential gene for in vitro growth of H37Rv, by Himar1 transposon mutagenesis (See Griffin et al., 2011). Check for mutants available at TARGET website |
