Overview: Trehalose degradation is based on MetaCyc pathways I via trehalose-6-phosphate hydrolase (link), II via cytoplasmic trehalase (link), III via trehalose-6-phosphate phosphorylase (link), IV via inverting trehalose phosphorylase (link), V via trehalose phosphorylase (link), VI via periplasmic trehalase (link), as well as trehalose degradation via 3-ketotrehalose (PMID:33657378).

Comment: In the 3-ketotrehalose pathway, a periplasmic dehydrogenase forms 3-ketotrehalose, a periplasmic 3-ketoglycoside hydrolase (klh) forms glucose and 3-ketoglucose, and the glucose is taken up and utilized; the fate of the 3-ketoglucose is not well understood, but its utilization might not be necessary. In pathway VI, a periplasmic trehalase forms glucose, which is utilized. In pathway I, after uptake and phosphorylation by the PTS, trehalose 6-phosphate hydrolase (treC) forms D-glucose 6-phosphate and D-glucose, and glucokinase (glk) phosphorylates the glucose. In pathway II, a cytoplasmic trehalase cleaves trehalose to two glucose, followed by phosphorylation by glk. In pathway III, after uptake and phosphorylation by the PTS, trehalose-6-phosphate phosphorylase (trePP) forms beta-glucose-1-phosphate and glucose-6-phosphate, and beta-phosphoglucomutase converts glucose-1-phosphate to glucose-6-phosphate. In pathway IV, a secreted inverting trehalose phoshorylase (treP) forms beta-glucose 1-phosphate and glucose; the beta-D-glucose is consumed by beta-phosphoglucomutase. In pathway V, trehalose phosphorylase forms alpha-glucose-1-phosphate and glucose; these are converted to glucose-6-P by alpha-phosphoglucomutase (pgmA) and glk. (This is a fungal pathway and might not occur in prokaryotes.)

Comment: Glucose can be taken up and then phosphorylated to glucose 6-phosphate by the kinase glk. Or, both uptake and phosphorylation are catalyzed by a PTS system. Or, glucose is oxidized to glucono-1,5-lactone in the periplasm (by gdh), hydrolyzed to gluconate (by gnl), oxidized to 2-ketogluconate (by gadh123), taken up by kguT, phosphorylated to 2-dehydro-6-phosphogluconate (by kguK), reduced to gluconate 6-phosphate (by kguD), dehydrated by edd to 2-dehydro-3-deoxy-gluconate 6-phosphate, and cleaved by aldolase eda to pyruvate and D-glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate.

trehalose-PTS: treEIIA and treB

Comment: PTS systems form trehalose 6-phosphate. E. coli has EII-BC treB; crr is the EII-A. B. subtilis has EII-BC treP. PMC6148471 shows that ptsG is the predominant EII-A but gamP and ptsA also function. Listeria monocytogenes has EII-BC; the EII-A is not known. Pseudomonas simiae WCS417 and P. fluorescens FW300-N2E3 have similar systems but only EII-A is annotated. In FW300-N2E3, AO353_15980 (A0A0N9WDQ5) is the II-BC protein. In WCS417, PS417_23050 (A0A1N7UR85) is the II-BC protein. These are both similar to E. coli treB.

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).
