Annotation: from legacy to revised

Legacy (H37Rv / Mycobrowser)D-alpha-D-mannose-1-phosphate guanylyltransferase ManB
MTBC0 PGAP re-annotation
Revised (this work)D-alpha-D-mannose-1-phosphate guanylyltransferase ManB. Pfam: NTP_transferase (PF00483.30), NTP_transf_3 (PF12804.14), GMPPB_C (PF25087.2).

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 L7N6A5 SwissProt · reviewed · Evidence at protein level
UniProt nameMannose-1-phosphate guanylyltransferase
EC (curated) EC 2.7.7.13
Curated functionCatalyzes the formation of GDP-mannose from D-mannose-1-phosphate and GTP. Plays an important role in the synthesis of different glycoconjugates which are responsible for cell wall structure, virulence and immunomodulatory activity of M.tuberculosis.

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 0.072 · strong purifying
Polymorphic sites (≥ 0.1% of strains) 5 synonymous, 1 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.
