Revised (this work)3-oxo-23%2C24-bisnorchol-4%2C17(20)-dien-22-oyl-CoA hydratase subunit alpha ChsH2. Pfam: FAS1_DH_region (PF13452.12), OB_ChsH2_C (PF01796.24).

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

Curated reference (UniProt)

UniProt I6YGF8 SwissProt · reviewed · Evidence at protein level
UniProt name3-oxo-4,17-pregnadiene-20-carboxyl-CoA hydratase alpha subunit
EC (curated) EC 4.2.1.-
Curated functionInvolved in cholesterol side chain degradation. Catalyzes the hydration of 3-oxo-4,17-pregnadiene-20-carboxyl-CoA (3-OPDC-CoA) to form 17-hydroxy-3-oxo-4-pregnene-20-carboxyl-CoA (17-HOPC-CoA), in the modified beta-oxidation pathway for cholesterol side chain degradation. Can also use octenoyl-CoA and decenoyl-CoA, with lower efficiency.

Functional vocabulary (eggNOG-mapper, orthology transfer)

COG category S Function unknown
eggNOG descriptionnucleic-acid-binding protein containing a Zn-ribbon
Orthologous groupCOG1545
KEGG orthology K07068

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 0.628 · relaxed/neutral
Polymorphic sites (≥ 0.1% of strains) 3 synonymous, 6 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.

Functional interaction network (STRING v12, guilt-by-association)

Closest characterised functional partner: ltp2 (lipid transfer protein), high confidence from genomic context alone (score 999 excluding text-mining). This association is the citable seed of a function hypothesis for this hypothetical protein.

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.
