Annotation: from legacy to revised

Legacy (H37Rv / Mycobrowser)hypothetical protein
MTBC0 PGAP re-annotationfamily 1 encapsulin nanocompartment shell protein
Revised (this work)Family 1 encapsulin nanocompartment shell protein. Pfam: Linocin_M18 (PF04454.19).

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

Curated reference (UniProt)

UniProt I6WZG6 SwissProt · reviewed · Evidence at protein level
UniProt nameType 1 encapsulin shell protein
Curated functionShell component of a type 1 encapsulin nanocompartment in situ; its cargo protects against oxidative stress at low pH. In situ and in E.coli assembles into proteinaceous shells about 22 nm in diameter with 2.5 nm thick walls. Cargo proteins are targeted to the interior via their C-terminal extensions; empty intact shells can be isolated in E.coli in the absence of cargo protein. There are at least 4 possible cargo proteins, DyP (encoded in the same locus), FolB, BfrB and Rv1762c; DyP and Rv1762c have been identified in vivo. Probably involved in protection against oxidative damage from the hos.

Functional vocabulary (eggNOG-mapper, orthology transfer)

COG category S Function unknown

eggNOG descriptionBacteriocin
Orthologous groupCOG1659

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 0.343 · 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.

Functional interaction network (STRING v12, guilt-by-association)

Closest characterised functional partner: pepC (M18 family aminopeptidase), high confidence from genomic context alone (score 794 excluding text-mining). This association is the citable seed of a function hypothesis for this hypothetical protein.

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.
