Annotation: from legacy to revised

Legacy (H37Rv / Mycobrowser)mycofactocin precursor
MTBC0 PGAP re-annotation
Revised (this work)Mycofactocin precursor. Pfam: MftA (PF23709.2).

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 P9WJ81 SwissProt · reviewed · Inferred from homology
UniProt nameMycofactocin precursor peptide
Curated functionPrecursor peptide that leads to mycofactocin (MFT) after extensive post-translational modifications by enzymes encoded by adjacent genes. Mycofactocin acts as a redox cofactor of nicotinamide-dependent oxidoreductases encoded in the same locus.

Functional vocabulary (eggNOG-mapper, orthology transfer)

Orthologous group2B3XY

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.

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.
