EC (curated) EC 3.4.24.-
Curated functionA probable intramembrane site-2 protease (S2P) that cleaves type-2 transmembrane proteins within their membrane-spanning domains. Cleaves PbpB (PBP3, FtsI) near 'Ala-102' and 'Ala-103' in response to oxidative stress; cleavage is inhibited by Wag31-PbpB interaction. Probably also cleaves anti-sigma factors RskA, RslA and RsmA but not RsdA..; FUNCTION: Regulated intramembrane proteolysis (RIP) occurs when an extracytoplasmic signal (possibly oxidative stress) triggers a concerted proteolytic cascade to transmit information and elicit cellular responses. The membrane-spanning regulatory substrat.

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

pN/pS 0.706 · relaxed/neutral
Polymorphic sites (≥ 0.1% of strains) 3 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.
