Legacy (H37Rv / Mycobrowser)signal recognition particle receptor FtsY
MTBC0 PGAP re-annotationsignal recognition particle-docking protein FtsY
Revised (this work)Signal recognition particle-docking protein FtsY. Pfam: SRP54_N (PF02881.25), SRP54 (PF00448.29), AAA_30 (PF13604.13).

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

Curated reference (UniProt)

UniProt P9WGD9 SwissProt · reviewed · Evidence at protein level
UniProt nameSignal recognition particle receptor FtsY
EC (curated) EC 3.6.5.4
Curated functionInvolved in targeting and insertion of nascent membrane proteins into the cytoplasmic membrane. Acts as a receptor for the complex formed by the signal recognition particle (SRP) and the ribosome-nascent chain (RNC) (By similarity). Most of the substrate proteins are involved in stress regulation, lipid metabolism, intermediary metabolism, and cell wall processes. Shows GTPase activity. Can also hydrolyze ATP, UTP and CTP.

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 1.55 · diversifying/relaxed
Polymorphic sites (≥ 0.1% of strains) 1 synonymous, 4 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.
