RpfB is a key factor in resuscitation from dormancy of Mycobacterium tuberculosis. This protein is a cell-wall glycosidase, which cleaves cell-wall peptidoglycan. RpfB is structurally complex and is composed of three types of domains, including a catalytic, a G5 and three DUF348 domains. Structural information is currently limited to a portion of the protein including only the catalytic and G5 domains. To gain insights into the structure and function of all domains we have undertaken structural investigations on a large protein fragment containing all three types of domains that constitute RpfB (RpfB3D).
