MTBC0 PGAP re-annotationcutinase Cfp21

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

Curated reference (UniProt)

UniProt P9WP43 SwissProt · reviewed · Evidence at protein level
UniProt nameCarboxylesterase Culp1
EC (curated) EC 3.1.1.-
Curated functionShows esterase activity, with a preference for short- and medium-chain fatty acids. Also has weak lipase activity, but does not exhibit cutinase activity. Hydrolyzes various p-nitrophenol-linked aliphatic esters, including pNP-butyrate (C4), pNP-valerate (C5), pNP-hexanoate (C6), pNP-octanoate (C8) and pNP-decanoate (C10). Can use pNP-laurate (C12) and pNP-myristate (C14), with lower efficiency. Can also hydrolyze monocaprylin and triolein, with a slow turnover..; FUNCTION: Induces a strong delayed-type hypersensitivity (DTH) response in animal model of tuberculosis, cellular and humoral immun.

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 1.032 · relaxed/neutral
Polymorphic sites (≥ 0.1% of strains) 1 synonymous, 3 missense, 0 nonsense, 2 frameshift
Disruption 2 distinct premature-stop/frameshift site(s); most common in 0.74% of strains (1081) · 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.
