| Protein names | Recommended name: Nitrate reductase-like protein NarX EC=1.7.99.4 | ||||
| Gene names |
| ||||
| Organism | Mycobacterium tuberculosis [Reference proteome] [HAMAP] | ||||
| Taxonomic identifier | 1773 [NCBI] | ||||
| Taxonomic lineage | Bacteria › Actinobacteria › Actinobacteridae › Actinomycetales › Corynebacterineae › Mycobacteriaceae › Mycobacterium › Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex![]() |
Protein attributes
| Sequence length | 652 AA. |
| Sequence status | Complete. |
| Protein existence | Evidence at protein level |
General annotation (Comments)
| Function | Does not seem to have nitrate reductase activity. |
| Catalytic activity | Nitrite + acceptor = nitrate + reduced acceptor. |
| Cofactor | Binds 1 4Fe-4S cluster per subunit Potential. Binds 1 molybdenum ion per subunit Potential. Binds 2 molybdopterin guanine dinucleotide (MGD) groups per subunit By similarity. Binds 2 heme groups per subunit. Heme 1 is located at the cytoplasmic interface, heme 2 is located at the extracellular interface. Electrons are transferred from the extracellular to the cytoplasmic heme Potential. |
| Subcellular location | Cell membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein Potential. |
| Induction | A member of the dormancy regulon. Induced in response to reduced oxygen tension (hypoxia), low levels of nitric oxide (NO) and carbon monoxide (CO). It is hoped that this regulon will give insight into the latent, or dormant phase of infection. Induction by hypoxia is independent of nitrate and nitrate levels. Ref.3 Ref.4 Ref.5 Ref.6 Ref.7 |
| Disruption phenotype | No visible phenotype. Ref.4 |
| Biotechnological use | This protein serves as an immunogenic antigen, inducing gamma-interferon responses in whole-blood cultures from M.tuberculosis-exposed adults in Uganda and South Africa, indicating this might be a good vaccine candidate. Ref.8 |
| Sequence similarities | In the N-terminal section; belongs to the nitrate reductase alpha subunit family. In the central section; belongs to the NarJ/NarW family. In the C-terminal section; belongs to the nitrate reductase gamma subunit family. |
