Annotation: from legacy to revised

Legacy (H37Rv / Mycobrowser)PPE family protein PPE19
MTBC0 PGAP re-annotation
Revised (this work)PPE family protein PPE19. Pfam: PPE (PF00823.26), PPE-SVP (PF12484.14).

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).

Curated reference (UniProt)

UniProt P9WI25 SwissProt · reviewed · Evidence at protein level
UniProt namePPE family protein PPE19
Curated functionEffector protein that plays a significant role during the preliminary stages of infection and contributes to virulence. It facilitates adhesion and internalization into host macrophages, thereby contributing to the initial stages of pathogenesis and promoting efficient cellular colonization.

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) pseudogene candidate

pN/pS 0.673 · relaxed/neutral
Polymorphic sites (≥ 0.1% of strains) 10 synonymous, 17 missense, 2 nonsense, 0 frameshift
Disruption 2 distinct premature-stop/frameshift site(s); most common in 1.52% of strains (2201) · 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.
