Curated reference (UniProt)

UniProt O06159 SwissProt · reviewed · Evidence at protein level
UniProt nameDihydrolipoyllysine-residue acyltransferase component of branched-chain alpha-ketoacid dehydrogenase complex
EC (curated) EC 2.3.1.168
Curated functionComponent of the branched-chain alpha-keto dehydrogenase complex, which catalyzes the overall conversion of alpha-keto acids derived from the branched-chain amino-acids valine, leucine and isoleucine to acyl-CoA and CO(2). The complex contains multiple copies of three enzymatic components: branched-chain alpha-keto acid decarboxylase (E1), lipoamide acyltransferase (E2) and lipoamide dehydrogenase (E3). The E2 subunit accepts, and transfers to coenzyme A, acyl groups that are generated by the branched-chain alpha-keto acid decarboxylase component (By similarity).

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 0.37 · purifying
Polymorphic sites (≥ 0.1% of strains) 6 synonymous, 6 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.
