Curated reference (UniProt)

UniProt P9WQE3 SwissProt · reviewed · Evidence at protein level
UniProt namePhenolphthiocerol/phthiocerol polyketide synthase subunit D
EC (curated) EC 2.3.1.292
Curated functionPart of the PpsABCDE complex involved in the biosynthesis of the lipid core common to phthiocerols and phenolphthiocerols by successive additions of malonyl-CoA or methylmalonyl-CoA extender units. PpsA can accept as substrate the activated forms of either icosanoyl (C20), docosanoyl (C22) or lignoceroyl (C24) groups from FadD26, or a (4-hydroxyphenyl)-C17 or (4-hydroxyphenyl)-C19 fatty acyl from FadD29. PpsA initiates the biosynthesis and extends its substrate using a malonyl-CoA extender unit. The PpsB and PpsC proteins add the second and third malonyl-CoA extender units. PpsD adds an (R)-me.

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 0.623 · relaxed/neutral
Polymorphic sites (≥ 0.1% of strains) 20 synonymous, 35 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.
