Annotation: from legacy to revised

Legacy (H37Rv / Mycobrowser)phosphoserine/threonine phosphatase PstP
MTBC0 PGAP re-annotation
Revised (this work)Phosphoserine/threonine phosphatase PstP. Pfam: PP2C (PF00481.27), PP2C_2 (PF13672.12).

Auto-curated: this verdict and function were generated by rules from PGAP + Pfam + Foldseek and have not been hand-reviewed.

Annotated on the H37Rv protein: this gene has no 1:1 ancestral MTBC0 anchor (PE/PPE, paralogue, IS element, or otherwise unanchored CDS).

Curated reference (UniProt)

UniProt nameSerine/threonine protein phosphatase PstP
EC (curated) EC 3.1.3.16
Curated functionPlays an important role in regulating cell division and growth by reversible phosphorylation signaling. May play important roles in regulating cellular metabolism and signaling pathways, which could mediate the growth and development of the cell. Plays a role in establishing and maintaining infection. Dephosphorylates several proteins, including the kinases PknA, PknB, PknD, PknE, PknF, PknH, PknJ and Pyk, the transcriptional regulatory proteins EmbR and EthR, the osmosensory protein OprA and the dimycocerosyl transferase PapA5. In vitro, dephosphorylates the phosphorylated Ser/Thr residues of.

Orthology-based transfer (eggNOG 5.0.2, diamond). EC/KO/GO/CAZy are computed annotations, not manual curation; cross-check against the primary literature before treating a specific reaction as established.

Conservation & selection (intra-MTBC, 145 209 strains)

pN/pS 0.842 · relaxed/neutral
Polymorphic sites (≥ 0.1% of strains) 4 synonymous, 9 missense, 0 nonsense, 0 frameshift

pN/pS from segregating SNPs (singletons removed) normalised by possible sites. Low pN/pS = purifying selection (a strong signal that a "hypothetical" is a real, constrained gene). A high pN/pS is ambiguous: relaxed constraint or positive selection (drug resistance, antigenic variation) inflate it; e.g. rpoB/katG/pncA score high here for resistance, not loss of function. A clonal disruption (one allele over a clade) suggests lineage pseudogenisation; a convergent one (many independent alleles) is typical of resistance loss-of-function.

STRING combines evidence channels (neighborhood, fusion, cooccurrence, coexpression, experimental, database, text-mining) into a 0–1000 score. The ctx badge marks edges carried by the genomic-context channels (conserved neighborhood, fusion, phylogenetic co-occurrence), which are independent of orthology and structure and the strongest signal for an unknown gene. The no text-mining column recomputes the score from data alone, so a link that does not depend on the literature is visible. Association is a function hypothesis, not proof: corroborate with the operon context and the primary literature before assigning a function.
