Annotation: from legacy to revised

Legacy (H37Rv / Mycobrowser)triacylglycerol lipase Lip
MTBC0 PGAP re-annotation
Revised (this work)Triacylglycerol lipase Lip. Pfam: PE (PF00934.26), Abhydrolase_3 (PF07859.20), Say1_Mug180 (PF10340.16).

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 I6Y2J4 SwissProt · reviewed · Evidence at protein level
UniProt nameTriacylglycerol lipase
EC (curated) EC 3.1.1.3
Curated functionCatalyzes the hydrolysis of both intracellular and extracellular triacylglycerol (TAG). In vitro, can also hydrolyze p-nitrophenyl (pNP) esters with various chain lengths, including pNP-acetate (C2), pNP-butyrate (C4), pNP-caproate (C6), pNP-caprylate (C8), pNP-laurate (C12), pNP-myristate (C14), pNP-palmitate (C16) and pNP-stearate (C18). Also hydrolyzes monobutyrin, tributyrin and trioctanoin. Overexpression results in increase of virulence characterized by reduced survival of infected mouse and increased burden of bacilli in the lungs. Hydrolyzes internal or host-derived TAG depending on it.

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 0.699 · relaxed/neutral
Polymorphic sites (≥ 0.1% of strains) 5 synonymous, 10 missense, 0 nonsense, 2 frameshift
Disruption 2 distinct premature-stop/frameshift site(s); most common in 0.85% of strains (1237) · clonal

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.
