H37Rv Rv1401 · MTBC0 - · 200 aa · 1576930–1577532 (+) · RefSeq NP_215917.1

Annotation: from legacy to revised

Legacy (H37Rv / Mycobrowser)membrane protein
MTBC0 PGAP re-annotation
Revised (this work)Membrane protein. Pfam: YhhN (PF07947.20).

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 P9WG51 SwissProt · reviewed · Evidence at protein level
UniProt nameLysoplasmalogenase
EC (curated) EC 3.3.2.2
Curated functionSpecifically hydrolyzes the vinyl ether bond of lysoplasmenylcholine (pLPC) and lysoplasmenylethanolamine (pLPE) to release a fatty aldehyde and glycerophospho-choline or glycerophospho-ethanolamine. The cleavage activity is specific for lysoplasmalogen substrates, and there is no activity on 1-alkenyl-sn-2-acyl-glycerophospho-ethanolamine or 1-alkenyl-sn-2-acyl-glycerophospho-choline (plasmalogen) substrates. Confers a growth advantage for mycobacteria in host macrophages, possibly by cleaving toxic host pLPC into potentially energy-producing products.

Functional vocabulary (eggNOG-mapper, orthology transfer)

COG category S Function unknown
eggNOG descriptionmembrane
Orthologous groupCOG3714

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 0.482 · purifying
Polymorphic sites (≥ 0.1% of strains) 3 synonymous, 4 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.
