UniProt nameSteroid C26-monooxygenase
EC (curated) EC 1.14.15.28
Curated functionInvolved in the utilization of cholesterol as the sole carbon and energy source by degrading the side chain during infection. Primarily catalyzes the sequential oxidation of the terminal methyl of cholest-4-en-3-one into (25R)-26-hydroxycholest-4-en-3-one (alcohol), (25R)-26-oxocholest-4-en-3-one (aldehyde), to finally yield the carboxylic acid (25R)-3-oxocholest-4-en-26-oate. In vitro, Cyp142 catalyzes with equal preference the oxidation of both (25R)- and (25S)-26-hydroxycholest-4-en-3-one diastereomers to the corresponding carboxylic acid which is a prerequisite for entry into the beta-oxid.

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) pseudogene candidate

pN/pS 0.381 · purifying
Polymorphic sites (≥ 0.1% of strains) 6 synonymous, 7 missense, 0 nonsense, 1 frameshift
Disruption 1 distinct premature-stop/frameshift site(s); most common in 12.01% of strains (17434) · 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.
