Research Abstract |
In this study, the function and structure of a polyphosphate-related protein-Rv2613c-was analyzed. This protein is encoded by Rv2613c, a gene that is found in Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv and has unknown function. The results showed that Rv2613c has diadenosine polyphosphate(Ap_nA) phosphorylase activity. Furthermore, Rv2613c was found to have a tetrameric structure that is unique among enzymes that use Ap_nA as a substrate, and it was found that the formation of the tetrameric structure of Rv2613c is essential for its enzymatic activity.
