Asparagine is the primary ammonia source for Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv at acidic pH <ref>PMID: 21410778 </ref>. The amino acid pair <scene name='61/612805/Asn111_and_gly112/1'>Asn111-Gly112</scene>,located at the end of α1 and preceding L3, undergoes in-vitro deamidation, a pH-dependent reaction whereby Asn is converted to Asp and ammonia is released. Asparagine residues preceding glycine, and situated in conformationally flexible regions of proteins, are frequently deamidated, with potentially significant consequences for protein regulation and function. In the case of Rv0899, deamidation and the concomitant release of ammonia could have important consequences for the acid adaptation function of the protein. <ref>PMID: 20199110</ref> | Asparagine is the primary ammonia source for Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv at acidic pH <ref>PMID: 21410778 </ref>.
