Gene Rv2447c
in Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv
General annotation
| Type | CDS |
| Function | Conversion of folates to polyglutamate derivatives. Bacteria require folate for the biosynthesis of glycine, methionine, formyl-met-tRNA, thymidylates, purines, and pantothenate [catalytic activity: ATP + {tetrahydrofolyl-[GLU]}(N) + L-glutamate = ADP + phosphate + {tetrahydrofolyl-[GLU]}(N+1)]. |
| Product | Probable folylpolyglutamate synthase protein FolC (folylpoly-gamma-glutamate synthetase) (FPGS) |
| Comments | Rv2447c, (MTV008.03c), len: 487 aa. Probable folC, folylpolyglutamate synthase, equivalent to Q9CBY8|FOLC|ML1471 from Mycobacterium leprae (485 aa), FASTA scores: opt: 2425, E(): 2.2e-134, (78.7% identity in 483 aa overlap). Also highly similar to others e.g. Q9L1G4|FPGS|O08416|Y13070 from Streptomyces coelicolor (444 aa), FASTA scores: opt: 774, E(): 6.3e-38, (53.9% identity in 462 aa overlap); P15925|FOLC_LACCA|FGS from Lactobacillus casei (428 aa), FASTA scores: opt: 631, E(): 1.4e-29, (34.55% identity in 437 aa overlap); Q05865|FOLC_BACSU from Bacillus subtilis (430 aa), FASTA scores: opt: 421, E(): 2.6e-17, (32.9% identity in 383 aa overlap); etc. Contains PS01012 Folylpolyglutamate synthase signature 2. Belongs to the folylpolyglutamate synthase family. |
| Functional category | Intermediary metabolism and respiration |
| Proteomics | 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 whole cell lysates of M. tuberculosis H37Rv but not the culture filtrate or membrane protein fraction (See de Souza et al., 2011). |
| Mutant | 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).
