CODSWALLOP

Enoyl-[acyl-carrier-protein] reductase [NADH]

Mycobacterium tuberculosis (strain ATCC 25618 / H37Rv) · seed P9WGR1 · 269 aa · family defined as ≥30% identity to that seed · compiled 07 October 2026

CATH and SCOP identifiers come from the RCSB's own structure annotations, which the Domains panel already reads, so these are looked up rather than guessed at.

The reference structure

5COQ, the structure every other member of this family is superposed onto. Rendered by the RCSB and embedded here: the live app shows an interactive viewport, which a document that fetches nothing cannot.

Which residues anyone has ever seen

How many of this family's constructs contain each residue of the seed. A trough is a stretch nobody has put in a construct, which is a construct-design answer rather than a disorder one.

1134269290 constructs

Constructs, most-used first

85 distinct constructs across 290 entries. 174 polymer entities differ from the UniProt canonical sequence in some way, 94 carry a recognised expression tag and 0 carry a fusion partner.

"Differs from canonical" is not the same as "engineered". The canonical sequence is the full gene product, so a secreted protein whose structures all start after its signal peptide counts every one of them as different: lysozyme's most-used construct, residues 19–147 on 1,239 entities, is simply the mature protein. Read the construct column below for what was actually done, rather than this count.

Positions people deliberately mutate

Columns where the wild-type residue still dominates but a real minority carries something else, which is a different question from "what varies across species".

261 entries have the depositor's assembly corroborated by PISA, 22 carry the depositor's word alone and 7 were assigned by PISA where the depositor gave none. The middle figure is not a disagreement: PISA may have returned nothing or never run. 19 entries carry more than one assembly with different chain counts, so they have no single answer to quote: 1BVR, 1ENY, 1ENZ, 1NHG, 1NHW, 1NNU, 1VRW, 2FHS, 2FOI, 3GNS, 3GNT, 4DRE, 4J1N, 4J3F, 4J4T, 5VRL, 5VRM, 5VRN, 5W07.

Domain architecture

Every source's own domains on the seed axis, one row each. They are not merged: Pfam, CATH, SCOP and InterPro disagree about boundaries, and a merged track would state a consensus none of them gave.

Sites are UniProt's curated features where the seed is a UniProt accession; the substituted positions are measured from this family's own alignment rather than annotated, and only the fifteen most substituted are marked: every position carrying a minority substitution would be most of the protein, because the family holds orthologues. A residue can carry more than one and is drawn with the first that applies, in the order of the key above.
