Annotation: from legacy to revised

Legacy (H37Rv / Mycobrowser)hypothetical protein
MTBC0 PGAP re-annotation
Revised (this work)Conserved hypothetical protein; no recognised domain. Function unknown. Foldseek best (non-significant) hit: 3qxi-assembly1_A Crystal structure of enoyl-CoA hydratase EchA1 from M (prob 0.44, TM 0.54).

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

Annotated on the H37Rv protein: this gene has no 1:1 ancestral MTBC0 anchor (PE/PPE, paralogue, IS element, or otherwise unanchored CDS).

Functional vocabulary (eggNOG-mapper, orthology transfer)

COG category I Lipid transport and metabolism
Preferred nameechA1_1
eggNOG descriptionBelongs to the enoyl-CoA hydratase isomerase family
Orthologous groupCOG1024
EC number EC 4.2.1.149
KEGG orthology K08299

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 n/a
Polymorphic sites (≥ 0.1% of strains) 0 synonymous, 4 missense, 0 nonsense, 1 frameshift
Disruption 1 distinct premature-stop/frameshift site(s); most common in 0.12% of strains (167) · 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.

Domains (Pfam, hmmscan --cut_ga)

No Pfam-A domain above the gathering threshold (or not yet scanned).

Structural neighbours (Foldseek on the ESMFold model, exploratory)

ESMFold model confidence: mean pLDDT 37.1 (very low). Low-confidence model: the fold may be unreliable, so treat these structural hits with caution.

Best matches against the PDB, ranked by Foldseek homology probability. A high probability / TM-score suggests a shared fold; unless flagged sig (E < 0.01) these are fold hypotheses, not assignments.

Evidence

  • Annotation from H37Rv (no MTBC0 1:1 anchor; H37Rv protein used): hypothetical protein
  • Foldseek best: 3qxi-assembly1_A Crystal structure of enoyl-CoA hydratase EchA1 from Mycobacteri (prob 0.44, E=3e-01, TM=0.54)
  • (auto-curated by rules from PGAP + Pfam + Foldseek; not hand-reviewed)
