Legacy (H37Rv / Mycobrowser)two component sensory transduction protein RegX
MTBC0 PGAP re-annotation
Revised (this work)Two component sensory transduction protein RegX. Pfam: Response_reg (PF00072.31), Trans_reg_C (PF00486.35).

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 P9WGL9 SwissProt · reviewed · Evidence at protein level
UniProt nameSensory transduction protein RegX3
Curated functionMember of the two-component regulatory system SenX3/RegX3 involved in stress response. 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. Regulates dozens of genes, directly or indirectly. Is directly involved in the regulation of the expression of gltA, cydAB and ald. Binds to the upstream regions of the hypoxia-associated genes Rv3334, whiB7, Rv0195, Rv0196 and Rv1960c.

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 0.345 · purifying
Polymorphic sites (≥ 0.1% of strains) 1 synonymous, 1 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.
