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 (beta-subunit) FixA (beta-ETF) (electron transfer flavoprotein small subunit) (ETFSS)
CommentsRv3029c, (MTV012.44c), len: 266 aa. Probable fixA (alternate gene name: etfB), electron transfer flavoprotein (beta-subunit). Equivalent of O33095|ETFB_MYCLE|FixA|MLCB637.03 electron transfer flavoprotein from Mycobacterium leprae (266 aa), FASTA scores: opt: 1603, E(): 7.6e-87, (95.1% identity in 266 aa overlap). Also highly similar to others e.g. Q9K417|SCG22.28c from Streptomyces coelicolor (262 aa), FASTA scores: opt: 860, E(): 2.3e-43, (52.4% identity in 263 aa overlap); O85691|ETFB_MEGEL from Megasphaera elsdenii (270 aa), FASTA scores: opt: 548, E(): 4.2e-25, (35.15% identity in 273 aa overlap); etc. Also highly similar in particular to Q9KHD0|NONH flavoprotein reductase from Streptomyces griseus subsp. griseus (this one is required for macrotetrolide biosynthesis in Streptomyces griseus) (261 aa), FASTA scores: opt: 867, E(): 8.8e-44, (54.0% identity in 263 aa overlap). Belongs to the Etf beta-subunit / FixA family.
Functional categoryIntermediary metabolism and respiration
ProteomicsThe product of this CDS corresponds to spot 3_122 identified in culture supernatant by proteomics at the Max Planck Institute for Infection Biology, Berlin, Germany, and spot FixA 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 (See Mattow et al., 2003). Identified in the cytosol of M. tuberculosis H37Rv using 2DLC/MS (See Mawuenyega 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). Translational start site supported by proteomics data (See de Souza et al., 2011) (See Kelkar et al., 2011).
MutantNon-essential gene for in vitro growth of H37Rv in a MtbYM rich medium, by Himar1 transposon mutagenesis (see Minato et al. 2019). Disruption of this gene results in growth defect of H37Rv in vitro, 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).
