General annotation
TypeCDS
FunctionInvolved in signal transduction (via dephosphorylation). Can dephosphorylated in vitro the phosphotyrosine residue of myelin basic protein (MBP) at pH 7.0 [catalytic activity: protein tyrosine phosphate + H(2)O = protein tyrosine + phosphate].
ProductPhosphotyrosine protein phosphatase PtpA (protein-tyrosine-phosphatase) (PTPase) (LMW phosphatase)
CommentsRv2234, (MTCY427.15), len: 163 aa. PtpA (alternate gene name: MPtpA), low molecular weight protein-tyrosine-phosphatase (see citations below), similar to other phosphotyrosine protein phosphatases e.g. P53433|PTPA_STRCO low molecular weight protein-tyrosine phosphatase from Streptomyces coelicolor (164 aa), FASTA scores: opt: 455, E(): 3.3e -25, (49.7% identity in 155 aa overlap); PA1S_HUMAN|P24667 red cell acid phosphatase 1, FASTA score: (37.7% identity in 138 aa overlap); etc. Contains a phosphatase catalytic site domain located in N-terminal part. Activity proven biochemically. Supposed a secreted protein. Substrate of PtkA|Rv2232.
Functional categoryRegulatory proteins
ProteomicsIdentified in the cell membrane fraction of M. tuberculosis H37Rv using 2DLC/MS (See Mawuenyega et al., 2005). 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). Non-essential gene 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). Growth of M. tuberculosis Erdman ptpA|Rv2234 mutant is comparable to wild-type in vitro and in C57BL/6 mice (See Grundner et al., 2008).
