Smith_3556873_p microprotein

Same-strand overlap (alternative frame) existence proven (MS) function unknown 63 aa

A non-canonical small protein (smORF) excluded from the H37Rv annotation, detected by proteogenomics with a high-confidence peptide-spectrum match. It is served here as part of a separate microproteome track: it is not one of the 3906 canonical genes and does not count in the dark stock. Its existence is proven; its molecular function is unknown.

Evidence & coordinates

Detection methodRibo-seq / Ribo-RET translation (Smith 2022)
Existence evidenceRibo-seq / Ribo-RET translation (relative ribosome density 6.99); protein-coding G/C-skew signature (p=0.0107216)
Cysteines (the VapC4 method targets Cys codons)
Cross-validationno Ribo-RET footprint at this start (Smith et al. 2022). Not informative on its own: measured genome-wide, this Ribo-RET dataset recovers only 29.1 % of annotated H37Rv starts (1136/3906), so its absence here does not argue against this microprotein — existence is already established by the MS evidence above. (P20.5)
H37Rv coordinates3556873–3557064 (+ strand)
Length63 amino acids
