scholarly journals An In silico Approach for Structural and Functional Annotation of Uncharacterized Protein Rv0986 present in Mycobacterium tuberculosis

Tuberculosis (TB) is an ancient infectious disease caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB). MTB is a human pathogen. Surprisingly, TB has become the top disease for its death rate worldwide. The uncharacterized protein Rv0986 is closely related to the transporters of the ATP-binding cassette domain, therefore, take part in the export of macrolide as well as a lipoprotein. Furthermore, it is associated with cell division protein. Hence, the protein has a significant role in mycobacterial infection. But, so far, the uncharacterized protein Rv0986 is not elaborated. As a result, in this study, the structural and functional annotation of the protein is described through in silico approach. The predicted tertiary structures of the protein generated by Swiss Model, Modeller, and Phyre2, and documented by the Ramachandran Plot analysis with PROCHECK, Verify 3D, and Swiss-Model Interactive Workplace. Z-score also applied for the overall structural assessment. This study will unleash the importance of the uncharacterized protein present in MTB, therefore, it provides an opportunity for drug and vaccine targeting against infection by MTB.

The human pathogen <i>Mycobacterium tuberculosis</i> ( MTB) is indeed one of the renowned important longtime infectious diseases that cause tuberculosis (TB). Interestingly, MTB infection has become one of the world's leading causes of human death. In trehalose synthase, the protein NCGM 946K2 146 found in MTB has an important role. For carbohydrate transport and metabolism, trehalose synthase is required. The protein is not clarified yet, however. In this research, an <i>in silico</i> approach was therefore formulated for functional and structural documentation of the uncharacterized protein NCGM946K2 146. Three different servers, including the Modeller, the Phyre2, and the Swiss Model, were used to evaluate the predicted tertiary structure. The top materials are selected using structural evaluations conducted with the analysis of Ramachandran Plot, Swiss-Model Interactive Workplace, Prosa-web, Verify 3D, and Z scores. This analysis aimed to uncover the value of the NCGM946K2 146 protein of MTB. This research will, therefore, improve our pathogenesis awareness and give us a chance to target the protein compound.

The human pathogen Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) is indeed one of the renowned, important, longtime infectious diseases, tuberculosis (TB). Interestingly, MTB infection has become one of the world’s leading causes of human death. In trehalose synthase, the protein NCGM 946K2 146 found in MTB has an important role. For carbohydrate transport and metabolism, trehalose synthase is required. The protein is not clarified yet, though. In this research, an in silico approach was, therefore, formulated for functional and structural documentation of the uncharacterized protein NCGM946K2_146.Three distinct servers, including Modeller, Phyre2, and Swiss Model, were used to evaluate the predicted tertiary structure. The top materials are selected using structural evaluations conducted with the analysis of Ramachandran Plot, Swiss-Model Interactive Workplace, ProSA-web, Verify 3D, and Z scores. This analysis aimed to uncover the value of the NCGM946K2_146 protein of MTB. This research will, therefore, improve our pathogenesis awareness and give us a chance to target the protein compound.

AbstractThe most significant ancient infectious disease tuberculosis is causes by a human pathogen, Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB). Amazingly, tuberculosis (TB) has become one of the major causes of human death worldwide. The protein Rv0986 is associated with the ATP-binding cassette domain of the transporters involved in the export of lipoprotein and macrolide, and cell division protein, therefore, related to mycobacterial infection. But the protein Rv0986 is not yet explored. As a result, identification, characterization, and functional annotation of uncharacterized protein Rv0986 were predicted where the structure modeling was generated by using Modeller, Phyre2, and Swiss Model with the structural quality assessment by Ramachandran Plot (PROCHECK), Verify 3d, and Swiss-Model Interactive Workplace as well. Z-scores obtained from Prosa-web were also applied for overall 3D model quality. This in-silico method will uncover the significance of undiscovered uncharacterized protein Rv0986 present in MTB, and indeed it can accelerate the way to enrich our knowledge in the pathogenesis and drug-targeting opportunity against infection by MTB.

AbstractThe major human pathogen Mycobacterium tuberculosis is rarely reported to cause disease in other animals. Cases in livestock are thought to occur through contact with infected handlers, but previous studies evaluating putative livestock-human transmission used typing techniques with limited resolution. Here, we undertook cross-sectional surveillance for tuberculosis in 271 livestock handlers and 167 cattle on three farms in Chennai, India and defined the relatedness of cultured isolates using whole genome sequencing. Humans and livestock were screened for active mycobacterial infection, and opportunistic post-mortem examination was performed on comparative intradermal test-positive cattle that died. Four cattle and 6 handlers on two farms were culture-positive for M. tuberculosis; M. bovis was not isolated. All 10 isolates (one from each case) belonged to Lineage 1. Pairwise genome comparisons of single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) differences ranged from 1 to 600 SNPs, but 3 isolate pairs were less than 5 SNPs different. Two pairs were from handlers and the third pair were from two cattle on the same farm. The minimum pairwise SNP difference between a cattle and human isolate was >250 SNPs. Our study confirms the presence of M. tuberculosis infection in cattle in India, sequencing of which characterised relatedness between human and cattle-derived isolates.
