UniProt nameProtein PhoH2
EC (curated) EC 3.1.-.-, EC 5.6.2.5
Curated functionToxic component of a type II toxin-antitoxin (TA) system. The cognate antitoxin is PhoAT; expression in M.smegmatis (strain mc(2)155) requires the cognate M.tuberculosis antitoxin gene. Expression in M.smegmatis strain mc(2)155 of the toxin alone slows growth and reduces cell viability, effects which are abrogated when cognate antitoxin PhoAT is coexpressed. Unwinds and/or cleaves 5'-tailed RNA in vitro that starts with 5'-AC, the reaction requires hydrolyzable ATP; double-stranded (ds)RNA and dsDNA are not unwound or cleaved. Can be expressed in the absence of its antitoxin gene in E.coli. In.

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 2.149 · diversifying/relaxed
Polymorphic sites (≥ 0.1% of strains) 1 synonymous, 6 missense, 0 nonsense, 1 frameshift
Disruption 1 distinct premature-stop/frameshift site(s); most common in 0.65% of strains (948) · clonal

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.
