Annotation: from legacy to revised

Legacy (H37Rv / Mycobrowser)hypothetical protein
MTBC0 PGAP re-annotationDUF2254 domain-containing protein
Revised (this work)Polytopic integral membrane protein with 4 predicted transmembrane helices (DeepTMHMM). RefSeq leaves it 'hypothetical protein'. A topological feature consistent with a membrane transporter/permease or membrane-embedded enzyme; the transported substrate and molecular function are undetermined.

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 0.649 · relaxed/neutral
Polymorphic sites (≥ 0.1% of strains) 4 synonymous, 7 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.

Structural neighbours (Foldseek on the ESMFold model, exploratory)

ESMFold model confidence: mean pLDDT 91.0 (very high). A confident model makes the fold comparison meaningful.

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.

Functional interaction network (STRING v12, guilt-by-association)

PartnerProductScoreNo text-miningChannels (≥400)
Rv1290A hyp hypothetical protein 582 582 ctx neighborhood:579

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.

Evidence

  • DeepTMHMM: 4 transmembrane helices (type TM)
  • Integral membrane topology (localisation feature, not a function)
  • DeepTMHMM topology prediction (project 'Still unknown gene function', phase8, 2026-06-10). A topological feature, not a demonstrated molecular function.
