Gene Rv2601
in Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv
General annotation
| Type | CDS |
| Function | Involved in the biosynthesis of spermidine from arginine (at the fifth, last step). The activity is thought to be regulated mainly by the availability of decarboxylated S-adenosylmethionine [catalytic activity: S-adenosylmethioninamine + putrescine = 5'-methylthioadenosine + spermidine]. |
| Product | Probable spermidine synthase SpeE (putrescine aminopropyltransferase) (aminopropyltransferase) (SPDSY) |
| Comments | Rv2601, (MTCI270.04c-MTV001.02), len: 523 aa. Probable speE, spermidine synthase, highly similar to many e.g. Q9L091|SCC24.26c from Streptomyces coelicolor (531 aa), FASTA scores: opt: 1493, E(): 1.3e-79, (48.45% identity in 514 aa overlap); Q9X8S2|SCH10.33c from Streptomyces coelicolor (554 aa), FASTA scores: opt: 1045, E(): 1.7e-53, (40.55% identity in 525 aa overlap); P09158|SPEE_ECOLI|B0121 from Escherichia coli strain K12 (287 aa), FASTA scores: opt: 368, E(): 2.9e-14, (30.5% identity in 272 aa overlap); etc. |
| Functional category | Intermediary metabolism and respiration |
| Proteomics | Identified in the cell wall fraction of M. tuberculosis H37Rv using 2DLC/MS (See Mawuenyega et al., 2005). Identified by mass spectrometry in M. tuberculosis H37Rv-infected guinea pig lungs at 30 days but not 90 days (See Kruh et al., 2010). |
| Mutant | Non-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 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 |
