H37Rv Rv2077A · MTBC0 - · 99 aa · 2334295–2334594 (-) · RefSeq YP_177658.1

Annotation: from legacy to revised

Legacy (H37Rv / Mycobrowser)hypothetical protein
MTBC0 PGAP re-annotation
Revised (this work)Conserved hypothetical protein; no recognised domain. Function unknown. Foldseek best (non-significant) hit: 6uuj-assembly2_E Structure of PE5-PPE4-EspG3 complex from the type VII (prob 0.90, TM 0.69).

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).

Functional vocabulary (eggNOG-mapper, orthology transfer)

Orthologous group2B0F7

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 n/a
Polymorphic sites (≥ 0.1% of strains) 0 synonymous, 0 missense, 1 nonsense, 1 frameshift
Disruption 2 distinct premature-stop/frameshift site(s); most common in 0.32% of strains (468) · 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.

Domains (Pfam, hmmscan --cut_ga)

No Pfam-A domain above the gathering threshold (or not yet scanned).

Structural neighbours (Foldseek on the ESMFold model, exploratory)

ESMFold model confidence: mean pLDDT 81.0 (confident). A confident model makes the fold comparison meaningful.

Best matches against the PDB, ranked by Foldseek homology probability. A high probability / TM-score suggests a shared fold; unless flagged sig (E < 0.01) these are fold hypotheses, not assignments.

Functional interaction network (STRING v12, guilt-by-association)

Closest characterised functional partner: Rv2077c (transmembrane protein), high confidence from genomic context alone (score 782 excluding text-mining). This association is the citable seed of a function hypothesis for this hypothetical protein.

PartnerProductScoreNo text-miningChannels (≥400)
Rv2077c transmembrane protein 782 782 ctx neighborhood:781
Rv2076c hyp hypothetical protein 676 677 ctx neighborhood:675
Rv2078 hyp hypothetical protein 651 651 coexpression:651
Rv2075c hyp hypothetical protein 415 416 ctx neighborhood:414

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.
