Annotation: from legacy to revised
| Legacy (H37Rv / Mycobrowser) | hypothetical protein |
|---|---|
| MTBC0 PGAP re-annotation | glycosyltransferase (part1) |
| Revised (this work) | Glycosyltransferase (part1). |
Auto-curated: this verdict and function were generated by rules from PGAP + Pfam + Foldseek and have not been hand-reviewed.

| UniProt name | Uncharacterized protein |
UniProt still lists this protein as Uncharacterized protein; the revised annotation above is ahead of the current UniProt record.
Conservation & selection (intra-MTBC, 145 209 strains)
| pN/pS | n/a |
|---|---|
| Polymorphic sites (≥ 0.1% of strains) | 0 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.
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: pimF (glycosyltransferase), medium confidence from genomic context alone (score 640 excluding text-mining). This association is the citable seed of a function hypothesis for this hypothetical protein.

glycosyltransferase | 640 | 640 ctx | neighborhood:639 |

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.
