Annotation: from legacy to revised

Legacy (H37Rv / Mycobrowser)HTH-type transcriptional regulator
MTBC0 PGAP re-annotationMerR family transcriptional regulator
Revised (this work)MerR family transcriptional regulator. Pfam: MerR (PF00376.30), MerR_1 (PF13411.13), HTH_Rv1828 (PF28507.1).

Auto-curated: this verdict and function were generated by rules from PGAP + Pfam + Foldseek and have not been hand-reviewed.

Curated reference (UniProt)

UniProt P9WME7 SwissProt · reviewed · Evidence at protein level
UniProt nameUncharacterized HTH-type transcriptional regulator Rv1828
Curated functionTranscriptional regulator that binds to its own promoter and thus may play a role in the regulation of the cotranscribed genes Rv1827 and Rv1828. Can also bind several promoter regions of genes that are essential, including ftsZ. Binds to the imperfect everted repeat sequence CTCAA through its winged-HTH motif.

UniProt still lists this protein as Uncharacterized HTH-type transcriptional regulator Rv1828; the revised annotation above is ahead of the current UniProt record.

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 0.258 · 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.
