Annotation: from legacy to revised

Legacy (H37Rv / Mycobrowser)fatty-acid--CoA ligase FadD10
MTBC0 PGAP re-annotation
Revised (this work)Fatty-acid--CoA ligase FadD10. Pfam: AMP-binding (PF00501.35), AMP-binding_C (PF13193.13).

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 P9WQ55 SwissProt · reviewed · Evidence at protein level
UniProt nameMedium/long-chain-fatty-acid--[acyl-carrier-protein] ligase FadD10
EC (curated) EC 6.2.1.20, EC 6.2.1.47
Curated functionAcyl:acyl-carrier protein ligase involved in the biosynthesis of a unique class of isonitrile lipopeptides (INLPs) that seem to function as virulence factors in M.tuberculosis and to play a role in metal acquisition. Catalyzes the activation of medium/long-chain fatty acids as acyl-adenylates (acyl-AMP), which are then transferred to the phosphopantetheine arm of the acyl-carrier protein (ACP) Rv0100. Can use octanoate (C8), decanoate (C10), dodecanoate (C12), tetradecanoate (C14) and hexadecanoate (C16), but not hexanoate (C6) in vitro. Long chain saturated fatty acids are the preferred subst.

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

pN/pS 0.159 · strong purifying
Polymorphic sites (≥ 0.1% of strains) 9 synonymous, 4 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.
