ProductESAT-6 like protein EsxU
CommentsRv3445c, (MTCY77.17c), len: 105 aa. EsxU, ESAT-6 like protein (see citations below), showing weak similarity to O30373|VCD|PA2257 pyoverdine biosynthesis protein from Pseudomonas aeruginosa (215 aa), FASTA scores: opt: 103, E(): 5.6, (32.35% identity in 133 aa overlap). Seems to belong to the ESAT6 family. Start changed since first submission (-20 aa).
Functional categoryCell wall and cell processes
TranscriptomicsmRNA identified by microarray analysis; transcription repressed at low pH in vitro conditions, which may mimic an environmental signal encountered by phagocytosed bacteria (see Fisher et al., 2002).
MutantNon-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).
