Gene Rv3738c
in Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv
General annotation
| Type | CDS |
| Function | Function unknown |
| Product | PPE family protein PPE66 |
| Comments | Rv3738c, (MTV025.086c), len: 315 aa. PPE66, Member of the Mycobacterium tuberculosis PPE family, highly similar to many e.g. O53265|Rv3018c|MTV012.32c (434 aa), FASTA scores: opt: 464, E(): 2.2e-17, (47.05% identity in 338 aa overlap). Probably a continuation of the upstream ORF MTV025.87c|Rv3739c|PPE67. At position 97470-72 a stop codon is present which interrupts a possibly longer ORF, observed in related ORFs MTV012_32 or MTCY21B4_4. The sequence has been checked and no errors were detected. A similar situation, but with a frameshift separating the ORFs is found in MTV012_36/MTV012_35. Sequence similarity is also seen with MTCY251_15; MTCY261_19; MLCB2492_30 from Mycobacterium leprae; MTCY10G2_10; MTY21C12_9; MTCI125_26; MTCY164_36; MTCY6A4_1. |
| Functional category | Pe/ppe |
| Mutant | Non-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 provides a growth advantage for in vitro growth of H37Rv, by analysis of saturated Himar1 transposon libraries (see DeJesus et al. 2017). Non-essential gene for in vitro growth of H37Rv, by Himar1 transposon mutagenesis (See Griffin et al., 2011). Check for mutants available at TARGET website |
