Table 1. M. smegmatis RD1 gene products and their M. tuberculosis homologues.
M. smegmatis gene | No. of insertions | M. tuberculosis gene | Percentage identity | e value | Putative function |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Ms3868 | 3 | Rv3868 | 73 | 0 | AAA ATPase |
Ms3869 | 1 | Rv3869 | 60 | e-154 | Membrane protein |
Ms3871 | 2 | Rv3871 | 75 | 0 | AAA ATPase |
MsPE35 | 1 | PE35/Rv3870 | 51 | 0.17 | Unknown |
Mscfp10 | 1 | Cfp10/Rv3874 | 52 | 8e-12 | Secreted antigen |
Ms-orf1 | 2 | No homologue | - | - | Unknown |
Ms3879c | 2 | Rv3879c | 43 | 2e-42 | Unknown |
Ms3881c | 1 | Rv3881c | 18 | 4e-16 | Unknown |
Ms3882c | 1 | Rv3882c | 66 | 0 | Unknown |
M. smegmatis genes discussed in the text and Fig. 3 that contain mariner insertions are listed along with their M. tuberculosis homologue. Ms3882c is not shown in Fig. 3 but is located 2.6 kb downstream of Ms3881c. Values for percentage identity and e values were taken from blast alignments between the two sequences (17).
