FunctionIf-2, one of the essential components for the initiation of protein synthesis in vitro, protects formylmethionyl-tRNA from spontaneous hydrolysis and promotes its binding to the 30S ribosomal subunits. It is also involved in the hydrolysis of GTP during the formation of the 70S ribosomal complex.
ProductProbable translation initiation factor if-2 InfB
CommentsRv2839c, (MTCY16B7.03), len: 900 aa. Probable infB, translation initiation factor if-2, highly similar, but in part, to Q9Z5I9|IF2_MYCLE|ML1556|MLCB596.14 translation initiation factor if-2 from Mycobacterium leprae (924 aa), FASTA scores: opt: 4548, E(): 2.4e-132, (83.6% identity in 933 aa overlap). Also similar in part to others e.g. Q9K3E2|SC5H4.30 from Streptomyces coelicolor (835 aa), FASTA scores: opt: 2559, E(): 1.3e-71, (59.9% identity in 833 aa overlap); P17889|IF2_BACSU|INFB from Bacillus subtilis (716 aa), FASTA scores: opt: 1782, E(): 6.6e-48, (46.65% identity in 686 aa overlap); P02995|IF2_ECOLI|INFB|SSYG|B3168|Z4529|ECS4049 from Escherichia coli strains O157:H7 and K12 (890 aa), FASTA scores: opt: 1708, E(): 1.3e-45, (46.2% identity in 662 aa overlap); etc. Contains PS00017 ATP/GTP-binding site motif A (P-loop). Belongs to the if-2 family.
Functional categoryInformation pathways
ProteomicsIdentified in the membrane fraction of M. tuberculosis H37Rv using 1D-SDS-PAGE and uLC-MS/MS (See Gu et al., 2003). Identified in the cell wall and cell membrane fractions of M. tuberculosis H37Rv using 2DLC/MS (See Mawuenyega et al., 2005). 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).
TranscriptomicsmRNA identified by DNA microarray analysis and up-regulated at high temperatures (see citation below).
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).
