EC (curated) EC 2.7.13.3, EC 3.1.3.-
Curated functionMember of the two-component regulatory system MprB/MprA which contributes to maintaining a balance among several systems involved in stress resistance and is required for establishment and maintenance of persistent infection in the host. In response to environmental signals MprB acts both as a membrane-associated protein kinase that undergoes autophosphorylation and subsequently transfers the phosphate to MprA, and as a protein phosphatase that dephosphorylates phospho-MprA. MprB/MprA is involved in regulation of numerous stress-responsive genes, including up-regulation of two sigma factors, s.

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

pN/pS 0.513 · relaxed/neutral
Polymorphic sites (≥ 0.1% of strains) 5 synonymous, 7 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.
