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

Curated reference (UniProt)

UniProt P9WJ61 SwissProt · reviewed · Evidence at protein level
UniProt nameTuberculosinyl adenosine transferase
EC (curated) EC 2.5.1.153
Curated functionTuberculosinyl transferase that catalyzes the condensation of adenosine and tuberculosinyl diphosphate (TbPP) to generate 1-tuberculosinyladenosine (1-TbAd), which acts as an antiacid that directly protects M.tuberculosis from acid pH and physically remodels M.tuberculosis phagolysosomes. In addition, acts as a phosphatase that catalyzes the diphosphate-removal from TbPP to produce both tuberculosinol (TOH) and isotuberculosinol (iso-TOH). Has broad substrate specificity, and can also use the 3 labdadienyl diphosphates, copalyl diphosphate (CDP), ent-CDP and syn-CDP in vitro.

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 1.017 · relaxed/neutral
Polymorphic sites (≥ 0.1% of strains) 2 synonymous, 7 missense, 0 nonsense, 1 frameshift
Disruption 1 distinct premature-stop/frameshift site(s); most common in 0.26% of strains (371) · 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.

Domains (Pfam, hmmscan --cut_ga)

No Pfam-A domain above the gathering threshold (or not yet scanned).

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.
