Finding step iolT for myo-inositol catabolism in Synechococcus elongatus PCC 7942
No candidates for iolT: myo-inositol:H+ symporter
GapMind classifies a step as low confidence even if it does not find any candidates. You can still try to find candidates by using Curated BLAST (which searches the 6-frame translation) or by text search of the annotations (which may indicate weak homology, under 30% identity or 50% coverage, that GapMind does not consider). See the links below.
Definition of step iolT
- Curated sequence Q8VZR6: Inositol transporter 1. The tonoplast H+:Inositol symporter 1, Int1 (mediates efflux from the tonoplast to the cytoplasm (Schneider et al., 2008) (most similar to 2.A.1.1.63 and 2.A.1.1.62)
- Curated sequence CH_091483: polyol transporter 5. Polyol transporter 5; Protein POLYOL TRANSPORTER 5; AtPLT5; Sugar-proton symporter PLT5. The broad specificity sugar/sugar alcohol (myo-inositol, glycerol, ribose, sorbitol, mannitol, xylitol, erythritol, etc) H+ symporter, AtPLT5 (transports a wide range of hexoses, pentoses, tetroses, sugar alcohols and a sugar acid, but not disaccharides) (Reinders et al., 2005) (expressed in roots, leaves and floral organs)

About GapMind
Each pathway is defined by a set of rules based on individual steps or genes. Candidates for each step are identified by using
ublast (a fast alternative to protein BLAST)
against a database of manually-curated proteins (most of which are experimentally characterized) or by using
HMMer with enzyme models (usually from
TIGRFam). Ublast hits may be split across two different proteins.
A candidate for a step is "high confidence" if either:
- ublast finds a hit to a characterized protein at above 40% identity and 80% coverage, and bits >= other bits+10.
- (Hits to curated proteins without experimental data as to their function are never considered high confidence.)
- HMMer finds a hit with 80% coverage of the model, and either other identity < 40 or other coverage < 0.75.
where "other" refers to the best ublast hit to a sequence that is not annotated as performing this step (and is not "ignored").
Otherwise, a candidate is "medium confidence" if either:
- ublast finds a hit at above 40% identity and 70% coverage (ignoring otherBits).
- ublast finds a hit at above 30% identity and 80% coverage, and bits >= other bits.
- HMMer finds a hit (regardless of coverage or other bits).
Other blast hits with at least 50% coverage are "low confidence."
Steps with no high- or medium-confidence candidates may be considered "gaps."
For the typical bacterium that can make all 20 amino acids, there are 1-2 gaps in amino acid biosynthesis pathways.
For diverse bacteria and archaea that can utilize a carbon source, there is a complete
high-confidence catabolic pathway (including a transporter) just 38% of the time, and
there is a complete medium-confidence pathway 63% of the time.
Gaps may be due to:
- our ignorance of proteins' functions,
- omissions in the gene models,
- frame-shift errors in the genome sequence, or
- the organism lacks the pathway.
GapMind relies on the predicted proteins in the genome and does not search the six-frame translation. In most cases, you can search the six-frame translation by clicking on links to Curated BLAST for each step definition (in the per-step page).
