metU MTB000043

tRNA repeat-prone tRNA-fMet (CAT)

This is an RNA, not a coding gene: it belongs to a separate track and carries none of the protein evidence layers.

Location

3559370–3559443 (- strand), 74 nt, on H37Rv (NC_000962.3). Intergenic (no overlapping coding sequence). Upstream neighbour Rv3191c (1025 bp). Downstream neighbour Rv3192 (120 bp).

Intra-MTBC variation

Not interpreted. tRNA loci are multi-copy or repeated, so short-read mapping accumulates artefactual variants here: the numbers below describe the mapping, not the biology of this RNA.

Legacy record

metU, tRNA-fMet, anticodon cat, length = 74. Described in EM_BA: MTMETA Y08623 M.tuberculosis as metA gene. Name changed to metU as metA encodes homoserine transsuccinylase. This region is a possible MT-complex-specific genomic island (See Becq et al., 2007).
