Curated reference (UniProt)

UniProt O53289 SwissProt · reviewed · Evidence at protein level
UniProt namePhosphoserine phosphatase SerB2
EC (curated) EC 3.1.3.16, EC 3.1.3.3
Curated functionCatalyzes the dephosphorylation of O-phospho-L-serine into L-serine, a step in the L-serine biosynthetic pathway. Exhibits high specificity for L-phosphoserine compared to substrates like L-phosphothreonine (5% relative activity) and L-phosphotyrosine (1.7% relative activity)..; FUNCTION: In the host, induces significant cytoskeleton rearrangements through cofilin dephosphorylation and its subsequent activation, and affects the expression of genes that regulate actin dynamics. It specifically interacts with HSP90, HSP70 and HSP27 that block apoptotic pathways but not with other HSPs. Also inte.

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

pN/pS 0.305 · purifying
Polymorphic sites (≥ 0.1% of strains) 6 synonymous, 5 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.
