H37Rv Rv2531c · MTBC0 - · 947 aa · 2854938–2857781 (-) · RefSeq YP_177889.1

Annotation: from legacy to revised

Legacy (H37Rv / Mycobrowser)amino acid decarboxylase
MTBC0 PGAP re-annotation
Revised (this work)Amino acid decarboxylase. Pfam: OKR_DC_1 (PF01276.27).

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

Annotated on the H37Rv protein: this gene has no 1:1 ancestral MTBC0 anchor (PE/PPE, paralogue, IS element, or otherwise unanchored CDS).

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

pN/pS 0.48 · purifying
Polymorphic sites (≥ 0.1% of strains) 9 synonymous, 13 missense, 0 nonsense, 4 frameshift
Disruption 4 distinct premature-stop/frameshift site(s); most common in 5.31% of strains (7704) · convergent

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.
