UniProt nameSensor protein KdpD
EC (curated) EC 2.7.13.3
Curated functionMember of the two-component regulatory system KdpD/KdpE involved in the regulation of the kdp operon. Functions as a sensor protein kinase which is autophosphorylated at a histidine residue and transfers its phosphate group to the conserved aspartic acid residue in the regulatory domain of KdpE in response to environmental signals such as low levels of potassium ion, osmotic imbalance, acid and nutrient stresses. In turn, KdpE binds to the upstream promoter regions of target genes to positively regulate their expression.

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

pN/pS 0.695 · relaxed/neutral
Polymorphic sites (≥ 0.1% of strains) 10 synonymous, 18 missense, 1 nonsense, 7 frameshift
Disruption 8 distinct premature-stop/frameshift site(s); most common in 17.64% of strains (25616) · 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.
