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

Curated reference (UniProt)

UniProt P9WFF7 SwissProt · reviewed · Evidence at protein level
UniProt nameDecaprenyl diphosphate synthase
EC (curated) EC 2.5.1.86, EC 2.5.1.87
Curated functionCatalyzes the sequential condensation of isopentenyl diphosphate (IPP) in the cis configuration with (2Z,6E)-farnesyl diphosphate (Z-FPP or EZ-FPP) generating the 50 carbon product trans,polycis-decaprenyl diphosphate. When (2E,6E)-farnesyl diphosphate (E-FPP or EE-FPP) is used in vitro, both primary products decaprenyl diphosphate and (2E,6E,10E)-geranylgeranyl diphosphate (EEE-GGPP) are synthesized. M.tuberculosis does not synthesize (2E,6E,10Z)-geranylgeranyl diphosphate (EEZ-GGPP) and heptaprenyl diphosphate. Can also accept many different allylic substrates, including E-geranyl diphosphat.

Conservation & selection (intra-MTBC, 145 209 strains)

pN/pS 0.055 · strong purifying
Polymorphic sites (≥ 0.1% of strains) 6 synonymous, 1 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.

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.
