MYCOBACTERIUM TUBERCULOSIS PROTEOME

• M. tuberculosis- intracellular pathogen • - TB prevalent in Africa and Asia• - 1/3 population is infected • - 8 million new cases per year• Complete sequence is available in SPTR:• NCBI_TaxID=1773 (Rv=83332) (CDC1551=83331)• 4087 proteins in SPTR, 2706 are “hypothetical”• 66% of proteins in SPTR uncharacterised

- 2505 have InterPro matches (64.7%)- Of those in InterPro, at least 860 hypothetical can be characterised- 33% of hypothetical proteins in SPTR, or 22% proteome

Proteome analysis of Mtb

• Extensive gene duplication, functional redundancy and diversification

• Precise function 40%, some functional info 44%, 16% unknown, probably Mycobacterial specific

• 9% genome encodes PE and PPE proteins (gly rich)• Many fatty acid metabolism proteins >250 cf 50 in E.coli

(reflection of cell wall)• Has two hemoglobins for oxygen storage• Mycobactins for iron• Glyoxylate shunt NB for latency or persistence (isocitrate

lyase)

Structural information

• 1079 ORFs can be assigned to SCOP -1566 domains, 1639 regions

• 482 (12.4%) have hits in HSSP• 9 (0.2%) have hits in PDB
