Gene
rpfE
Protein
Resuscitation-promoting factor RpfE
Organism
Mycobacterium tuberculosis (strain ATCC 25618 / H37Rv)
Length
172 amino acids
Function
Stimulates growth of stationary phase M.bovis (a slow-growing Mycobacterium), reduces the lag phase of diluted fast-growers M.smegmatis and Micrococcus luteus. Sequential gene disruption indicates RpfB and RpfE are higher than RpfD and RpfC in functional hierarchy.
Similarity
Belongs to the transglycosylase family. Rpf subfamily.
Mass
17.456 kDa
