Annotation: from legacy to revised

Legacy (H37Rv / Mycobrowser)adenylyltransferase/sulfurtransferase MoeZ
MTBC0 PGAP re-annotation
Revised (this work)Adenylyltransferase/sulfurtransferase MoeZ. Pfam: ThiF (PF00899.28), Rhodanese (PF00581.26).

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 P9WMN7 SwissProt · reviewed · Evidence at protein level
UniProt nameProbable adenylyltransferase/sulfurtransferase MoeZ [Includes: Sulfur carrier protein CysO adenylyltransferase
EC (curated) EC 2.7.7.-, EC 2.8.1.-
Curated functionCatalyzes the conversion of the sulfur carrier protein CysO to CysO-thiocarboxylate. The reaction is thought to proceed in two steps: first, ATP-dependent activation of CysO as acyl-adenylate (CysO-COOAMP), followed by sulfur transfer to give CysO-thiocarboxylate (CysO-COSH) (Probable). The sulfur source is unknown.

eggNOG descriptionThe proteins in this cluster have high sequence similarity to MoeB and are possibly involved in the synthesis of molybdopterin, but there has been no biochemical or physiological characterization. There is also no genetic linkage to other molybdopterin cofactor synthesis proteins. These proteins are

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

pN/pS 0.23 · purifying
Polymorphic sites (≥ 0.1% of strains) 3 synonymous, 2 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.
