Curated reference (UniProt)

UniProt P9WN11 SwissProt · reviewed · Evidence at protein level
UniProt nameTrehalose-6-phosphate synthase
EC (curated) EC 2.4.1.15, EC 2.4.1.347
Curated functionInvolved in the production of glycogen and alpha-glucan via the TreS-Pep2 branch involved in the biosynthesis of maltose-1-phosphate (M1P), and probably in the osmoprotection via the biosynthesis of trehalose. Catalyzes the transfer of glucose from UDP-glucose (UDP-Glc) to D-glucose 6-phosphate (Glc-6-P) to form trehalose-6-phosphate. Is specific for the glucosyl acceptor (Glc-6-P cannot be replaced by either mannose-6-P, fructose-6-P or glucosamine-6-P), but any of the glucose sugar nucleotides can be used as glucosyl donors. It is more active with the purine sugar nucleotides than with the p.

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 0.578 · relaxed/neutral
Polymorphic sites (≥ 0.1% of strains) 3 synonymous, 5 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.
