| UniProt functional annotation for P9WJS9 | |||
| UniProt code: P9WJS9. |
| Organism: | Mycobacterium tuberculosis (strain ATCC 25618 / H37Rv). | |
| Taxonomy: | Bacteria; Actinobacteria; Corynebacteriales; Mycobacteriaceae; Mycobacterium; Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex. | |
| Function: | Part of an export system, which is required for biosynthesis and secretion of siderophores. Essential for virulence. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:23431276}. | |
| Subunit: | Interacts with MmpL4. Can also interact with MmpL5. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:23431276}. | |
| Subcellular location: | Cell inner membrane {ECO:0000269|PubMed:23431276}; Single-pass membrane protein {ECO:0000255}. | |
| Induction: | Transcriptionally regulated by MmpR5 (PubMed:24737322). Repressed by iron and IdeR (PubMed:12065475). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12065475, ECO:0000269|PubMed:24737322}. | |
| Disruption phenotype: | Deletion mutant does not exhibit a low iron growth phenotype, but has attenuated virulence compared to the wild- type strain. Deletion of both mmpS4 and mmpS5 drastically decreases synthesis and secretion of siderophores, and greatly reduces virulence in mice. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:23431276}. | |
| Similarity: | Belongs to the MmpS family. {ECO:0000305}. | |
| Sequence caution: | Sequence=AAC26395.1; Type=Erroneous initiation; Evidence={ECO:0000305}; | |
