Annotation: from legacy to revised

Legacy (H37Rv / Mycobrowser)PPE family protein PPE45
MTBC0 PGAP re-annotation
Revised (this work)PPE family protein PPE45. Pfam: PPE (PF00823.26), PPE-SVP (PF12484.14).

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).

Curated reference (UniProt)

UniProt P9WHZ1 SwissProt · reviewed · Inferred from homology
UniProt nameUncharacterized PPE family protein PPE45

UniProt still lists this protein as Uncharacterized PPE family protein PPE45; the revised annotation above is ahead of the current UniProt record.

Functional vocabulary (eggNOG-mapper, orthology transfer)

COG category N Cell motility
eggNOG descriptionPolymorphic PE/PPE proteins C terminal
Orthologous groupCOG5651

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) pseudogene candidate

pN/pS 1.194 · relaxed/neutral
Polymorphic sites (≥ 0.1% of strains) 3 synonymous, 9 missense, 1 nonsense, 0 frameshift
Disruption 1 distinct premature-stop/frameshift site(s); most common in 1.03% of strains (1493) · 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.
