Rules

Overview: Lactose utilization in GapMind is based on MetaCyc pathway lactose degradation II via 3'-ketolactose (link), pathway III via beta-galactosidase (link), or uptake by a PTS system followed by hydrolysis of lactose 6'-phosphate. (There is no pathway I.)

all:

lactose-transport, beta-galactosidase, galactose-degradation and glk
or lactose-PTS, pbgal, galactose-6-phosphate-degradation and glk
or lacA', lacC', lacB', klh and glucose-utilization
Comment: In pathway III, lactose is taken up and cleaved to galactose and glucose by beta-galactosidase; the glucose is consumed by kinase glk. (The galactose 1-epimerase galM, EC 5.1.3.3, is not included in galactose degradation; it is important for lactose utilization in E. coli (PMID:7966338), but not in Sinorhizobium meliloti or in Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron, which also use this pathway.) Or, a PTS forms lactose 6'-phosphate and phosphogalactosidase (pbgal) forms galactose 6-phosphate and glucose. Or, lactose is oxidized to 3'-ketolactose by a periplasmic 3-component dehydrogenase (lacACB'), and then hydrolyzed by a periplasmic enzyme (klh) to 3-keto-beta-D-galactose and D-glucopyranose, and hypothetical reduction of the 3-ketogalactose. Liberation of glucose is probably sufficient for growth.

beta-galactosidase:

lacZ
or lacL and lacM
Comment: Most lactases are homomeric, but Lactobacillus have a heteromeric enzyme LacLM. (There is also a heteromeric beta-galactosidase in barley, see BGAL_HORVU, but it is not included. Also, "evolved beta-galactosidase" ebgA from E. coli is more active with its partner ebgC, but it retains activity on its own, so it is included in step lacZ instead.)

glucose-utilization:

glucose-transport and glk
or glucose-PTS
or gdh, gnl, gadh1, gadh2, gadh3, kguT, kguK, kguD, edd and eda
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.

glucose-PTS:

ptsG-crr
or bglF
or ptsG and crr
or manX, manY and manZ

glucose-transport:

MFS-glucose
or SSS-glucose
or glcU'
or PAST-A
or SemiSWEET
or SWEET1
or mglA, mglB and mglC
or gtsA, gtsB, gtsC and gtsD
or glcS, glcT, glcU and glcV
or aglE', aglF', aglG' and aglK'
Comment: Transporters and PTS systems were analyzed uzing query: transporter:glucose:D-glucose:D-glucopyranose:ALPHA-GLUCOSE:GLC:CPD-15374

galactose-degradation:

galK, galT, galE and pgmA
or galdh, galactonolactonase, dgoD, dgoK and dgoA
Comment: In the Leloir pathway, galactokinase (galK) forms galactose 1-phosphate, a uridyltransferase (galT) uses glucose 1-phosphate to form UDP-galactose, an epimerase (galE) forms UDP-glucose, and this is converted to glucose 1-phosphate by the same uridyltransferase. (We initially included the 1-epimerase galM, EC 5.1.3.3, in our model of the Leloir pathway, but found that in most bacteria, galM proteins were not important for fitness during growth on galactose; the only exception was Echvi_0697.) The oxidative pathway begins with oxidation to a lactone (by galdh) and hydrolysis to galactonate; galactonate is then dehydrated, phosphorylated, and cleaved by an aldolase.

galactose-6-phosphate-degradation: lacA, lacB, lacC, tag16P-aldolase and tpi

Comment: The tagatose 6-phosphate pathway involves the isomerization of galactose 6-phosphate to tagatose-6-phosphate (by lacAB), phosphorylation to tagatose 1,6-bisphosphate (by lacC), and an aldolase.

tag16P-aldolase:

lacD
or gatY and gatZ
Comment: Two forms of D-tagatose-1,6-phosphate aldolase are known, homomeric (lacD) or heteromeric (gatYZ or kbaYZ)

lactose-PTS:

lacIIA, lacIIB and lacIIC
or lacIIA and lacIICB
Comment: PTS systems forming lactose 6'-phosphate. Klebsiella pneumoniae has a EIIA,B,C in three separate proteins. The other characterized PTS systems have EIIA and EIICB

lactose-transport:

lacE, lacF, lacG and lacK
or lacP
or lacS
or lacY
Comment: Transporters and PTS systems were identified using query: transporter:lactose:alpha-lactose:CPD-15971

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).
