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. |
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).

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 | 0.114 · strong purifying |
|---|---|
| Polymorphic sites (≥ 0.1% of strains) | 3 synonymous, 1 missense, 0 nonsense, 1 frameshift |
| Disruption | 1 distinct premature-stop/frameshift site(s); most common in 1.40% of strains (2035) · 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).
Functional interaction network (STRING v12, guilt-by-association)
Closest characterised functional partner: devB (6-phosphogluconolactonase), high confidence from genomic context alone (score 871 excluding text-mining). This association is the citable seed of a function hypothesis for this hypothetical protein.

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.
