UniProt nameAcyl-CoA dehydrogenase FadE34
EC (curated) EC 1.3.99.-
Curated functionInvolved in the second cycle of side chain dehydrogenation in the beta-oxidation of cholesterol catabolism. It contributes partly to the virulence by increasing the efficiency of beta-oxidation. Catalyzes the dehydrogenation of the five-carbon steroid side chain of 3-oxo-chol-4-en-24-oyl-CoA (3-OCO-CoA) to yield 3-oxochol-4,22-dien-24-oyl-CoA. Can also use 3beta-hydroxy-chol-5-ene-24-oyl-CoA, and shows weak activity with cholyl-CoA and deoxycholyl-CoA.

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 0.309 · purifying
Polymorphic sites (≥ 0.1% of strains) 6 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.
