Curated reference (UniProt)

UniProt I6YBZ8 SwissProt · reviewed · Evidence at protein level
UniProt name3-hydroxyacyl-thioester dehydratase Y
EC (curated) EC 4.2.1.-, EC 4.2.1.119
Curated functionShows trans-enoyl-CoA hydratase/3-hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydratase activity. In vitro, can hydrate various enoyl-CoA such as (2E)-hexenoyl-CoA, (2E)-octenoyl-CoA, (2E)-decenoyl-CoA, (2E)-dodecenoyl-CoA and (2E)-hexadecenoyl-CoA. May contribute to the persistence of the tuberculosis infection by inducing COX-2 expression in macrophages through MAPK-NF-kappaB signaling pathway.

Functional vocabulary (eggNOG-mapper, orthology transfer)

COG category I Lipid transport and metabolism
eggNOG descriptiondehydratase
Orthologous groupCOG2030

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 2.548 · diversifying/relaxed
Polymorphic sites (≥ 0.1% of strains) 1 synonymous, 7 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.
