Curated reference (UniProt)

UniProt P9WP49 SwissProt · reviewed · Evidence at protein level
UniProt nameCopper-sensing transcriptional repressor CsoR
Curated functionCopper-sensitive repressor that has a key role in copper homeostasis. It is part of the cso operon involved in the cellular response to increasing concentrations of copper inside the bacterium, which can be highly toxic. In the presence of copper, CsoR fully dissociates from the promoter in the cso operon, leading to the transcription of its genes. Binds to a GC-rich pseudopallindromic sequence, 5'-GTAGCCCACCCCCAGTGGGGTGGGA-3', in the cso promoter region.

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

pN/pS n/a
Polymorphic sites (≥ 0.1% of strains) 0 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.
