Protein
Resuscitation-promoting factor RpfD
Organism
Mycobacterium tuberculosis (strain CDC 1551 / Oshkosh)
Function
Factor that stimulates resuscitation of dormant cells. Has peptidoglycan (PG) hydrolytic activity. PG fragments could either directly activate the resuscitation pathway of dormant bacteria or serve as a substrate for endogenous Rpf, resulting in low molecular weight products with resuscitation activity (By similarity).
Similarity
Belongs to the transglycosylase family. Rpf subfamily.
