Annotation: from legacy to revised

Legacy (H37Rv / Mycobrowser)L-lysine-epsilon aminotransferase
MTBC0 PGAP re-annotationL-lysine 6-transaminase
Revised (this work)L-lysine 6-transaminase. Pfam: Aminotran_3 (PF00202.28).

Auto-curated: this verdict and function were generated by rules from PGAP + Pfam + Foldseek and have not been hand-reviewed.

Curated reference (UniProt)

UniProt P9WQ77 SwissProt · reviewed · Evidence at protein level
UniProt nameL-lysine-epsilon aminotransferase
EC (curated) EC 2.6.1.36
Curated functionCatalyzes the transfer of the terminal amino group of L-lysine to alpha-ketoglutarate to yield L-glutamate and 2-aminoadipate 6-semialdehyde ((S)-2-amino-6-oxohexanoate), which is spontaneously converted to the dehydrated form 1-piperideine 6-carboxylate. Probably plays a role in persistence (Probable).

Functional vocabulary (eggNOG-mapper, orthology transfer)

COG category E Amino acid transport and metabolism
Preferred namelat
eggNOG descriptionBelongs to the class-III pyridoxal-phosphate-dependent aminotransferase family
Orthologous groupCOG0160
EC number EC 2.6.1.36
KEGG orthology K03918
KEGG pathways map01100

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 0.345 · purifying
Polymorphic sites (≥ 0.1% of strains) 3 synonymous, 3 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.
