Annotation: from legacy to revised

Legacy (H37Rv / Mycobrowser)adhesion component ABC transporter permease
MTBC0 PGAP re-annotationFtsX-like permease family protein
Revised (this work)FtsX-like permease family protein. Pfam: MacB_PCD (PF12704.15), FtsX (PF02687.28).

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

Curated reference (UniProt)

UniProt O53900 SwissProt · reviewed · Evidence at protein level
UniProt nameUncharacterized ABC transporter permease protein Rv0987
Curated functionProbably part of an ABC transporter complex involved in host cell binding either through secretion of an adherence factor or through maintaining the architecture and integrity of the mycobacterial cell envelope. Could be required for host endothelial-cell invasion and/or intracellular survival.

UniProt still lists this protein as Uncharacterized ABC transporter permease protein Rv0987; the revised annotation above is ahead of the current UniProt record.

Functional vocabulary (eggNOG-mapper, orthology transfer)

KEGG modules M00258

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 0.445 · purifying
Polymorphic sites (≥ 0.1% of strains) 18 synonymous, 22 missense, 2 nonsense, 2 frameshift
Disruption 4 distinct premature-stop/frameshift site(s); most common in 5.15% of strains (7481) · convergent

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.
