UniProt nameBiotin-dependent acyl-coenzyme A carboxylase alpha3 subunit [Includes: Biotin carboxylase
EC (curated) EC 6.3.4.14
Curated functionComponent of a biotin-dependent acyl-CoA carboxylase complex. This subunit catalyzes the ATP-dependent carboxylation of the biotin carried by the biotin carboxyl carrier (BCC) domain, resulting in the formation of carboxyl biotin. When associated with the beta5 subunit AccD5, is involved in the carboxylation of acetyl-CoA and propionyl-CoA, with a preference for propionyl-CoA. When associated with the beta6 subunit AccD6, is involved in the carboxylation of acetyl-CoA and propionyl-CoA, with a preference for acetyl-CoA. When associated with the beta4 subunit AccD4, the beta5 subunit AccD5 and .

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

pN/pS 0.038 · strong purifying
Polymorphic sites (≥ 0.1% of strains) 9 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.
