Structural highlights
2jax is a 1 chain structure with sequence from Myctu. Full crystallographic information is available from OCA. For a guided tour on the structure components use FirstGlance.
[Y2623_MYCTU] May play a role in the establishment of a persistent infection (latency) in the host, as strains without this gene are hypervirulent. Overexpression of the protein retards growth in culture; Glu-15 and Ala-117 mutant proteins which bind less ATP do not show this retardation, suggesting growth may be regulated through an ATP-dependent function.
