Annotation: from legacy to revised

Legacy (H37Rv / Mycobrowser)transcriptional regulator MoxR1
MTBC0 PGAP re-annotation
Revised (this work)Transcriptional regulator MoxR1. Pfam: bpMoxR (PF20030.6), AAA_3 (PF07726.18), AAA_5 (PF07728.21), AAA_lid_2 (PF17863.8).

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 Q79FN7 SwissProt · reviewed · Evidence at protein level
UniProt nameChaperone MoxR1
Curated functionDisplays ATP-enhanced chaperone activity. Required for the proper folding of the peptidoglycan endopeptidase RipA and its secretion through the TAT secretion system. In vitro, prevents thermal aggregation of MalZ protein and protects the functional activity of the restriction enzyme NdeI from thermal inactivation..; FUNCTION: Could be a moonlighting protein that uses a multipronged approach to dampen host-directed immunity for efficient replication, survival and pathogenesis. Can enhance virulence by inhibiting autophagy and apoptosis, and disrupting cellular bioenergetics. Binds and activates.

Functional vocabulary (eggNOG-mapper, orthology transfer)

COG category S Function unknown
Preferred namemoxR1
eggNOG descriptionassociated with various cellular activities
Orthologous groupCOG0714
KEGG orthology K03924

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 0.236 · purifying
Polymorphic sites (≥ 0.1% of strains) 3 synonymous, 2 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.
