General annotation
TypeCDS
FunctionDNA-dependent RNA polymerase catalyzes the transcription of DNA into RNA using the four ribonucleoside triphosphates as substrates. The amino-terminal portion is involved in the assembly of core RNAP, whereas the C-terminal is involved in interaction with transcriptional regulators [catalytic activity: N nucleoside triphosphate = N pyrophosphate + RNA(N)].
ProductProbable DNA-directed RNA polymerase (alpha chain) RpoA (transcriptase alpha chain) (RNA polymerase alpha subunit) (DNA-directed RNA nucleotidyltransferase)
CommentsRv3457c, (MTCY13E12.10c), len: 347 aa. Probable rpoA, alpha chain of RNA polymerase, equivalent to Q9X798|RPOA_MYCLE|ML1957|MLCB1222.27c DNA-directed RNA polymerase alpha from Mycobacterium leprae (347 aa), FASTA scores: opt: 2139, E(): 1.3e-123, (95.65% identity in 347 aa overlap). Also highly similar to others e.g. P72404|RPOA_STRCO|C6G4.07 from Streptomyces coelicolor (340 aa), FASTA scores: opt: 1672, E(): 4.7e-95, (75.55% identity in 348 aa overlap); Q9X4V6|RPOA_STRGT from Streptomyces granaticolor (340 aa), FASTA scores: opt: 1671, E(): 5.4e-95, (75.55% identity in 348 aa overlap); P20429|RPOA_BACSU from Bacillus subtilis (314 aa), FASTA scores: opt: 939, E(): 3e-50, (48.9% identity in 311 aa overlap); etc. Contains (PS00017) ATP/GTP-binding site motif A (P-loop). Belongs to the RNA polymerase alpha chain family.

ProteomicsThe product of this CDS corresponds to a spot identified in cytosol by proteomics at the Statens Serum Institute (Denmark), and at the Max Planck Institute for Infection Biology, Berlin, Germany (see proteomics citations). 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 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).
