Auto-curated: this verdict and function were generated by rules from PGAP + Pfam + Foldseek and have not been hand-reviewed (flagged for human review).

Curated reference (UniProt)

UniProt nameUncharacterized protein Rv2308

UniProt still lists this protein as Uncharacterized protein Rv2308; the revised annotation above is ahead of the current UniProt record.

Functional vocabulary (eggNOG-mapper, orthology transfer)

COG category S Function unknown
eggNOG descriptionProtein of unknown function (DUF433)
Orthologous groupCOG2442

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 1.718 · diversifying/relaxed
Polymorphic sites (≥ 0.1% of strains) 1 synonymous, 5 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.

Structural neighbours (Foldseek on the ESMFold model, exploratory)

ESMFold model confidence: mean pLDDT 89.2 (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.

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.
