Annotation: from legacy to revised

Legacy (H37Rv / Mycobrowser)long-chain-fatty-acid--AMP ligase FadD29
MTBC0 PGAP re-annotation
Revised (this work)Long-chain-fatty-acid--AMP ligase FadD29. Pfam: AMP-binding (PF00501.35), AMP-dom_DIP2-like (PF23024.2).

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 P95141 SwissProt · reviewed · Evidence at protein level
UniProt name4-hydroxyphenylalkanoate adenylyltransferase
EC (curated) EC 6.2.1.51
Curated functionCatalyzes the activation of long-chain fatty acids as acyl-adenylates (acyl-AMP), which are then transferred to the multifunctional polyketide synthase PpsA for further chain extension. Involved in the biosynthesis of phenolphthiocerol, which is an important intermediate in the biosynthesis of phenolic glycolipid (PGL), also called mycosid B.

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 0.737 · relaxed/neutral
Polymorphic sites (≥ 0.1% of strains) 5 synonymous, 10 missense, 1 nonsense, 3 frameshift
Disruption 4 distinct premature-stop/frameshift site(s); most common in 1.03% of strains (1489) · convergent

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.
