Revised (this work)Aspartate-semialdehyde dehydrogenase. Pfam: Semialdhyde_dh (PF01118.31), Semialdhyde_dhC (PF02774.24).

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

Curated reference (UniProt)

UniProt P9WNX5 SwissProt · reviewed · Evidence at protein level
UniProt nameAspartate-semialdehyde dehydrogenase
EC (curated) EC 1.2.1.11
Curated functionCatalyzes the NADPH-dependent formation of L-aspartate-semialdehyde (L-ASA) by the reductive dephosphorylation of L-aspartyl-4-phosphate. Is essential for the growth and pathogenicity of M.tuberculosis, and for the generation of the bacterial cell wall.

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 0.121 · strong purifying
Polymorphic sites (≥ 0.1% of strains) 6 synonymous, 2 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.
