Legacy (H37Rv / Mycobrowser)membrane protein
MTBC0 PGAP re-annotationhypothetical protein
Revised (this work)Small integral membrane protein, candidate subunit of the mycobacterial respiratory supercomplex (cytochrome c oxidase / complex IV region) RefSeq leaves this locus uncharacterised.

Functional vocabulary (eggNOG-mapper, orthology transfer)

Orthologous group2FB1T

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 0.0 · strong purifying
Polymorphic sites (≥ 0.1% of strains) 2 synonymous, 0 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).

Closest characterised functional partner: Rv1889c (Rv1889c, (MTCY180.29), len: 118 aa. Conserved hypothetical protein. Part of large family of Mycobacterium tuberculosis proteins with conserv), medium confidence from genomic context alone (score 421 excluding text-mining).

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.

Evidence

  • HHpred (Neff 3.52, moderate ~50-60%): top mycobacterial hits 7E1V_H + 7Q21_f = cytochrome c oxidase polypeptide 4 (same respiratory supercomplex structures as Rv0615); DeepTMHMM transmembrane; strong purifying
  • HHpred web (MPI Bioinformatics Toolkit, profile-profile remote homology), interpreted in project 'Still unknown gene function', 2026-06-10. A fold/family-level assignment, not a demonstrated function.
