Annotation: from legacy to revised

Legacy (H37Rv / Mycobrowser)polyketide synthase
MTBC0 PGAP re-annotation
Revised (this work)Polyketide synthase. Pfam: KR (PF08659.17), adh_short (PF00106.32), Epimerase (PF01370.28), Polysacc_synt_2 (PF02719.22), GDP_Man_Dehyd (PF16363.12), 3Beta_HSD (PF01073.26), adh_short_C2 (PF13561.13), PP-binding (PF00550.32).

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).

Conservation & selection (intra-MTBC, 145 209 strains) pseudogene candidate

pN/pS 0.528 · relaxed/neutral
Polymorphic sites (≥ 0.1% of strains) 6 synonymous, 8 missense, 1 nonsense, 1 frameshift
Disruption 2 distinct premature-stop/frameshift site(s); most common in 3.08% of strains (4467) · 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.
