Annotation: from legacy to revised

Legacy (H37Rv / Mycobrowser)prophage integrase
MTBC0 PGAP re-annotationtyrosine-type recombinase/integrase
Revised (this work)Tyrosine-type recombinase/integrase. Pfam: Integrase_N_phage (PF26003.1), Phage_int_SAM_3 (PF14659.13), Phage_integrase (PF00589.28).

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

Curated reference (UniProt)

UniProt P9WMB3 SwissProt · reviewed · Evidence at protein level
UniProt namePutative prophage phiRv2 integrase
Curated functionIntegrase is necessary for integration of the phage into the host genome by site-specific recombination. In conjunction with excisionase, integrase is also necessary for excision of the prophage from the host genome (By similarity).

UniProt still lists this protein as Putative prophage phiRv2 integrase; the revised annotation above is ahead of the current UniProt record.

Functional vocabulary (eggNOG-mapper, orthology transfer)

COG category L Replication, recombination and repair
Preferred nameintA
eggNOG descriptionBelongs to the 'phage' integrase family
Orthologous groupCOG0582

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 0.17 · strong purifying
Polymorphic sites (≥ 0.1% of strains) 2 synonymous, 1 missense, 0 nonsense, 1 frameshift
Disruption 1 distinct premature-stop/frameshift site(s); most common in 0.15% of strains (213) · 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.
