摘要: The Mycobacterium tuberculosis genome contains about 4000 genes, of which approximately a third code for proteins unknown function or are classified as conserved hypothetical proteins. We have determined the three-dimensional structure one these, rv0216 gene product, has been shown to be essential M. growth in vivo. exhibits greatest similarity bacterial and eukaryotic hydratases that catalyse R-specific hydration 2-enoyl coenzyme A. However, only part catalytic machinery is Rv0216 it showed no activity substrate crotonyl-CoA. allows us assign new functional annotations family seven other proteins, number if survival during infection growth.
