Annotation: from legacy to revised

Legacy (H37Rv / Mycobrowser)pterin-4-alpha-carbinolamine dehydratase
MTBC0 PGAP re-annotation
Revised (this work)Pterin-4-alpha-carbinolamine dehydratase. Pfam: Pterin_4a (PF01329.25).

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 Q6MX13 TrEMBL · unreviewed · Inferred from homology
UniProt namePutative pterin-4-alpha-carbinolamine dehydratase
EC (curated) EC 4.2.1.96

UniProt still lists this protein as Putative pterin-4-alpha-carbinolamine dehydratase; the revised annotation above is ahead of the current UniProt record.

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.
