UniProt nameSensor-like histidine kinase SenX3
EC (curated) EC 2.7.13.3
Curated functionMember of the two-component regulatory system SenX3/RegX3 involved in stress response. Autophosphorylates, and then transfers the phosphate group to RegX3 (By similarity). The system is involved in phosphate starvation response. Plays a role in modulating expression of aerobic response and in the regulation of response to hypoxia. Involved in virulence. SenX3 is a key regulator of mycobacterial replication in response to oxygen, nitric oxide (NO) and carbon monoxide (CO), and acts as an O(2) sensor that plays an important role in the reactivation of growth in response to the restoration of aer.

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 0.243 · purifying
Polymorphic sites (≥ 0.1% of strains) 6 synonymous, 3 missense, 1 nonsense, 0 frameshift
Disruption 1 distinct premature-stop/frameshift site(s); most common in 1.00% of strains (1448) · clonal

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.
