UniProt namePGL/p-HBAD biosynthesis rhamnosyltransferase
EC (curated) EC 2.4.1.-
Curated functionCatalyzes the transfer of the first rhamnosyl residue on p-hydroxybenzoic acid or phenolphthiocerol derivatives to form, after O-methylation at position 2 of the sugar unit, mono-O-methyl-glycosyl-p-hydroxybenzoic acid derivative (p-HBAD I) and 2-O-methyl-rhamnosyl-phenolphthiocerol dimycocerosate (also called mycoside B) during p-hydroxybenzoic acid derivatives (p-HBAD) and glycosylated phenolphthiocerol dimycocerosates (PGL) biosynthesis.

Conservation & selection (intra-MTBC, 145 209 strains)

pN/pS 1.073 · relaxed/neutral
Polymorphic sites (≥ 0.1% of strains) 3 synonymous, 7 missense, 2 nonsense, 2 frameshift
Disruption 4 distinct premature-stop/frameshift site(s); most common in 8.77% of strains (12738) · 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.
