Annotation: from legacy to revised

Legacy (H37Rv / Mycobrowser)hydrolase
MTBC0 PGAP re-annotationalkyl/aryl-sulfatase
Revised (this work)Alkyl/aryl-sulfatase. Pfam: Lactamase_B (PF00753.34), Alkyl_sulf_dimr (PF14863.13), Alkyl_sulf_C (PF14864.12).

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

Conservation & selection (intra-MTBC, 145 209 strains)

pN/pS 0.389 · purifying
Polymorphic sites (≥ 0.1% of strains) 11 synonymous, 13 missense, 0 nonsense, 1 frameshift
Disruption 1 distinct premature-stop/frameshift site(s); most common in 0.26% of strains (375) · 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.
