ProductConserved integral membrane protein YrbE4A. Possible ABC transporter.
CommentsRv3501c, (MTV023.08c), len: 254 aa. YrbE4A, conserved integral membrane protein, part of mce4 operon and member of YrbE family (see citations below), highly similar to Mycobacterium tuberculosis proteins O07412|Rv0167|MTCI28.07|yrbE1A (265 aa); O07791|Rv0587|MTCY19H5.35|yrbE2A (265 aa); and O53965|Rv1964|MTV051.02|yrbE3A (265 aa). Also highly similar to conserved hypothetical integral membrane proteins of the P45030|YRBE_HAEIN (261 aa) type, e.g. Q9CD16|YRBE1A|ML2587 from Mycobacterium leprae (267 aa), FASTA scores: opt: 1059, E(): 1e-57, (64.75% identity in 247 aa overlap); P45030|YRBE_HAEIN|HI1086 from Haemophilus influenzae (261 aa), FASTA scores: opt: 313, E(): 3e-14, (25.7% identity in 241 aa overlap); etc.
Functional categoryVirulence, detoxification, adaptation
ProteomicsIdentified 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). 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). Required for growth in C57BL/6J mouse spleen, by transposon site hybridization (TraSH) in H37Rv (See Sassetti and Rubin, 2003). Non-essential gene for in vitro growth of H37Rv, but essential for in vitro growth on cholesterol; by sequencing of Himar1-based transposon mutagenesis (See Griffin et al., 2011). M. tuberculosis H37Rv Rv3540c-Rv3545c mutant is unable to grow in minimal medium with cholesterol but can still perform initial steps of cholesterol degradation; in vitro growth defect is partially complemented by having additional mutation in yrbE4a|Rv3501c; reduced CFU of Rv3540c-Rv3545c mutant in C57BL/6 mouse lungs and spleen is complemented by having additional mutation in yrbE4a|Rv3501c (See Chang et al., 2009).
