| MTBC0 PGAP re-annotation | — |
| Revised (this work) | Penicillin-binding protein DacB2. Pfam: Peptidase_S11 (PF00768.26), Beta-lactamase2 (PF13354.13). |
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 function | Probably cleaves the terminal D-Ala-D-Ala dipeptide of the peptidoglycan stem peptide (Probable). Shows significant D,D-carboxypeptidase activity in vitro. Acts on the synthetic penta-peptide substrate Penta-DAP (L-Ala-gamma-D-Gln-DAP-D-Ala-D-Ala). Also shows weak activity on Penta-Lys (L-Ala-gamma-Glu-L-Lys-D-Ala-D-Ala). The catalytic domain binds weakly to peptidoglycan in vitro. Plays an important role in the maintenance of colony morphology and cell wall permeability and integrity. |

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 | n/a |
|---|---|
| Polymorphic sites (≥ 0.1% of strains) | 0 synonymous, 7 missense, 0 nonsense, 1 frameshift |
| Disruption | 1 distinct premature-stop/frameshift site(s); most common in 0.11% of strains (161) · 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.
