TypeCDS
FunctionThe electron transfer flavoprotein serves as a specific electron acceptor for other dehydrogenases. It transfers the electrons to the main respiratory chain via ETF-ubiquinone oxidoreductase (ETF dehydrogenase).
ProductProbable electron transfer flavoprotein (alpha-subunit) FixB (alpha-ETF) (electron transfer flavoprotein large subunit) (ETFLS)
CommentsRv3028c, (MTV012.43c), len: 318 aa. Probable fixB (alternate gene name: etfA), electron transfer flavoprotein (alpha subunit) for various dehydrogenases. Equivalent to O33096|ETFA_MYCLE|FIXB|ML1711|MLCB637.04 electron transfer flavoprotein from Mycobacterium leprae (318 aa), FASTA scores: opt: 1788, E(): 1.1e-87, (89.3% identity in 318 aa overlap). Also highly similar to many e.g. Q9K418|SCG22.27c from Streptomyces coelicolor (320 aa), FASTA scores: opt: 1161, E(): 1.6e-54, (59.45% identity in 323 aa overlap); AAK08137|etfa from Rhodobacter sphaeroides (308 aa), FASTA scores: opt: 792, E(): 5.1e-35, (45.95% identity in 309 aa overlap); P38974|ETFA_PARDE electron transfer flavoprotein from Paracoccus denitrificans (307 aa), FASTA scores: opt: 789, E(): 7.4e-35, (45.95% identity in 309 aa overlap); etc. Belongs to the Etf alpha-subunit / FixB family.
Functional categoryIntermediary metabolism and respiration
ProteomicsThe product of this CDS corresponds to spots 3_129 and 3_68 identified in culture supernatant by proteomics at the Max Planck Institute for Infection Biology, Berlin, Germany, and spot FixB identified in short term culture filtrate by proteomics at the Statens Serum Institute (Denmark) (see citations below). Identified in immunodominant fractions of M. tuberculosis H37Rv cytosol using 2D-LPE, 2D-PAGE, and LC-MS or LC-MS/MS (See Covert et al., 2001). Identified in the membrane fraction of M. tuberculosis H37Rv using 1D-SDS-PAGE and uLC-MS/MS (See Gu et al., 2003). Identified in the culture supernatant of M. tuberculosis H37Rv using mass spectrometry and Edman degradation (See Mattow et al., 2003). Identified in the cytosol and cell wall fraction of M. tuberculosis H37Rv using 2DLC/MS (See Mawuenyega et al., 2005). Proteomics shows upregulation in isoniazid-resistant M. tuberculosis clinical isolates (See Jiang et al., 2006). Identified by mass spectrometry in Triton X-114 extracts of M. tuberculosis H37Rv (See Malen et al., 2010). Identified by mass spectrometry in the culture filtrate, membrane protein fraction, and whole cell lysates of M. tuberculosis H37Rv (See de Souza et al., 2011). Translational start site supported by proteomics data (See de Souza et al., 2011) (See Kelkar et al., 2011).
MutantEssential gene for in vitro growth of H37Rv, by analysis of saturated Himar1 transposon libraries (see DeJesus et al. 2017). Essential gene for in vitro growth of H37Rv, by Himar1 transposon mutagenesis (See Griffin et al., 2011).
