MTBC0 PGAP re-annotationcytochrome P450

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

Curated reference (UniProt)

UniProt P9WPN7 SwissProt · reviewed · Evidence at protein level
UniProt nameBeta-dihydromenaquinone-9 omega-hydroxylase
EC (curated) EC 1.14.15.27
Curated functionInvolved in the biosynthesis of sulfomenaquinone (SMK, initially named S881 on the basis of its mass), which is localized in the outer envelope of M.tuberculosis and negatively regulates its virulence. Catalyzes the hydroxylation of beta-dihydromenaquinone-9, leading to the formation of omega-hydroxy-beta-dihydromenaquinone-9.

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) pseudogene candidate

pN/pS 0.539 · relaxed/neutral
Polymorphic sites (≥ 0.1% of strains) 6 synonymous, 9 missense, 0 nonsense, 2 frameshift
Disruption 2 distinct premature-stop/frameshift site(s); most common in 6.74% of strains (9791) · 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.
