Curated reference (UniProt)

UniProt O06581 SwissProt · reviewed · Evidence at protein level
UniProt nameHTH-type transcriptional regulator PrpR
Curated functionPlays a key role in regulating expression of enzymes involved in the catabolism of short chain fatty acids (SCFA) via both the glyoxylate (acetyl degradation route) and the methylcitrate cycle (propionate degradation route). Required for intracellular growth in macrophages and for the assimilation of cholesterol-derived propionate. PrpR acts as a transcriptional activator of prpDC and icl genes when propionate is the main carbon source, and as a ramB repressor. During growth on propionate, PrpR also acts as a transcriptional repressor of dnaA, which encodes the DnaA initiator protein responsib.

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 0.847 · relaxed/neutral
Polymorphic sites (≥ 0.1% of strains) 2 synonymous, 5 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.
