MTBC0 PGAP re-annotationpyridoxal phosphate-dependent aminotransferase family protein
Revised (this work)Pyridoxal phosphate-dependent aminotransferase family protein. Pfam: Acetyltransf_6 (PF13480.14), Aminotran_1_2 (PF00155.28), Beta_elim_lyase (PF01212.28), DegT_DnrJ_EryC1 (PF01041.24).

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

Curated reference (UniProt)

UniProt P9WQ85 SwissProt · reviewed · Evidence at protein level
UniProt namePutative 8-amino-7-oxononanoate synthase 2
EC (curated) EC 2.3.1.47
Curated functionCatalyzes the decarboxylative condensation of pimeloyl-[acyl-carrier protein] and L-alanine to produce 8-amino-7-oxononanoate (AON), [acyl-carrier protein], and carbon dioxide.

UniProt still lists this protein as Putative 8-amino-7-oxononanoate synthase 2; the revised annotation above is ahead of the current UniProt record.

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 0.665 · relaxed/neutral
Polymorphic sites (≥ 0.1% of strains) 9 synonymous, 17 missense, 1 nonsense, 7 frameshift
Disruption 8 distinct premature-stop/frameshift site(s); most common in 7.52% of strains (10913) · convergent

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.
