Annotation: from legacy to revised

Legacy (H37Rv / Mycobrowser)phosphate transport system transcriptional regulator PhoY
MTBC0 PGAP re-annotationphosphate signaling complex protein PhoU
Revised (this work)Phosphate signaling complex protein PhoU. Pfam: PhoU (PF01895.25).

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

Curated reference (UniProt)

UniProt P9WI97 SwissProt · reviewed · Evidence at protein level
UniProt namePhosphate-specific transport system accessory protein PhoU homolog 1
Curated functionPlays a role in the regulation of phosphate uptake. In this role, it may bind, possibly as a chaperone, to PhoR, PhoP or a PhoR-PhoP complex to promote dephosphorylation of phospho-PhoP, or inhibit formation of the PhoR-PhoP transitory complex (By similarity).

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 n/a
Polymorphic sites (≥ 0.1% of strains) 0 synonymous, 3 missense, 1 nonsense, 0 frameshift
Disruption 1 distinct premature-stop/frameshift site(s); most common in 0.12% of strains (171) · clonal

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.
