FunctionInvolved in the synthesis of decaprenyl diphosphate, a molecule which has a central role in the biosynthesis of most features of the mycobacterial cell wall. Adds seven more isoprene UNITS to omega,E, Z-farnesyl diphosphate and releases decaprenyl diphosphate.
ProductLong (C50) chain Z-isoprenyl diphosphate synthase (Z-decaprenyl diphosphate synthase)
CommentsRv2361c, (MT2430, MTCY27.19), len: 296 aa. Long (C50) chain Z-isoprenyl diphosphate synthase (see citation below), equivalent to UPPS_MYCLE|ML0634|B1937_F2_65|P38119 undecaprenyl pyrophosphate synthetase from Mycobacterium leprae (296 aa), FASTA scores: opt: 1789, E(): 1.8e-97, (86.5% identity in 296 aa overlap). Also highly similar to others e.g. UPPS|Q9L2H4 undecaprenyl pyrophosphate synthetase from Streptomyces coelicolor (277 aa), FASTA scores: opt: 1098, E(): 8.2e-60, (63.5% identity in 247 aa overlap); Q55482|UPPS_SYNY3|SLL0506 from Synechocystis sp. strain PCC 6803 (249 aa), FASTA scores: opt: 686, E(): 4.2e-33, (46.4% identity in 235 aa overlap); O67291|UPPS_AQUAE|AQ_1248 from Aquifex aeolicus (231 aa), FASTA scores: opt: 684, E(): 5.2e-33, (46.3% identity in 229 aa overlap); etc. Also similar to Rv1086|MTV017.39 from Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Contains PS01066 Hypothetical YBR002c family signature. Seems to belong to the UPP synthetase family. Note that previously known as uppS.

ProteomicsIdentified in the cell membrane fraction of M. tuberculosis H37Rv using 2DLC/MS (See Mawuenyega et al., 2005). Identified in the membrane fraction of M. tuberculosis H37Rv using nanoLC-MS/MS (See Xiong et al., 2005). Identified by mass spectrometry in Triton X-114 extracts of M. tuberculosis H37Rv (See Malen 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).
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).
