Annotation: from legacy to revised

Legacy (H37Rv / Mycobrowser)diacylglycerol acyltransferase
MTBC0 PGAP re-annotationwax ester/triacylglycerol synthase family O-acyltransferase
Revised (this work)Wax ester/triacylglycerol synthase family O-acyltransferase. Pfam: WS_DGAT_cat (PF03007.22), WS_DGAT_C (PF06974.19).

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

Curated reference (UniProt)

UniProt P9WKB5 SwissProt · reviewed · Evidence at protein level
UniProt namePutative diacyglycerol O-acyltransferase Rv2285
EC (curated) EC 2.3.1.20
Curated functionCatalyzes the terminal and only committed step in triacylglycerol synthesis by using diacylglycerol and fatty acyl CoA as substrates. Required for storage lipid synthesis..; FUNCTION: Upon expression in E.coli functions weakly as a triacylglycerol synthase, making triacylglycerol (TG) from diolein and long-chain fatty acyl-CoA. Has very weak wax synthase activity, incorporating palmityl alcohol into wax esters in the presence of palmitoyl-CoA.

UniProt still lists this protein as Putative diacyglycerol O-acyltransferase Rv2285; 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 0.956 · relaxed/neutral
Polymorphic sites (≥ 0.1% of strains) 3 synonymous, 8 missense, 0 nonsense, 1 frameshift
Disruption 1 distinct premature-stop/frameshift site(s); most common in 0.66% of strains (960) · 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.
