TermTBRXN:AFE arabinofuranosyl extension (M tb) - IPIactivenjamshidi2012-10-05
This is a lumped reaction involving the emb locus (PMID: 9142129), details of the reaction are not well known. Recently it has been shown that the AftA locus 'primes' the araf extension (see AFTA) (PMID: 16595677), other sources imply that extension of ARaf residues ccurs while bound to the polyprenyl core (PMID: 11555614, Cole et al text Tuberculosis and the tubercle bacillus). Also note that this is the target of ethambutol (hence the locus name).
