Annotation: from legacy to revised

Legacy (H37Rv / Mycobrowser)fatty-acid--CoA ligase FadD9
MTBC0 PGAP re-annotationcarboxylic acid reductase
Revised (this work)Carboxylic acid reductase. Pfam: AMP-binding (PF00501.35), PP-binding (PF00550.32), Epimerase (PF01370.28), NAD_binding_4 (PF07993.19).

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

Curated reference (UniProt)

UniProt Q50631 SwissProt · reviewed · Evidence at protein level
UniProt nameCarboxylic acid reductase
EC (curated) EC 1.2.1.-, EC 6.2.1.-
Curated functionCatalyzes the ATP- and NADPH-dependent reduction of carboxylic acids to the corresponding aldehydes (By similarity). In vitro, also catalyzes the activation of medium/long-chain fatty acids as acyl-adenylates (acyl-AMP).

Functional vocabulary (eggNOG-mapper, orthology transfer)

COG category I Lipid transport and metabolism
Q Secondary metabolites biosynthesis, transport and catabolism
Preferred namefadD9
eggNOG descriptionThioester reductase domain
Orthologous groupCOG1022
KEGG orthology K12421

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 0.689 · relaxed/neutral
Polymorphic sites (≥ 0.1% of strains) 7 synonymous, 14 missense, 0 nonsense, 1 frameshift
Disruption 1 distinct premature-stop/frameshift site(s); most common in 0.21% of strains (301) · 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.
