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).
