Rules
Overview: Phenylacetate utilization in GapMind is based on MetaCyc pathway phenylacetate degradation I (aerobic via phenylacetyl-CoA dehydrogenase, link) and pathway II (anaerobic via benzoyl-CoA, link).
- all: phenylacetate-transport and phenylacetate-degradation
- phenylacetate-degradation: paaK and phenylacetyl-CoA-degradation
- Comment: Phenylacetate is activated to phenylacetyl-CoA by paaK
- phenylacetyl-CoA-degradation:
- paaA, paaB, paaC, paaE, paaG, paaZ1, paaZ2, paaJ1, paaF, paaH and paaJ2
- or phenylacetyl-CoA-dehydrogenase, phenylglyoxylate-dehydrogenase and benzoyl-CoA-degradation
- Comment: In the aerobic pathway, oxygen-dependent 1,2-epoxidase (PaaABCE) converts phenylacetyl-CoA to 1,2-epoxyphenylacetyl-CoA, which spontaenously rearranges to 2-(oxepinyl)acetyl-CoA; isomerase PaaG forms 2-oxepin-2(3H)-ylideneacetyl-CoA ("oxepin-CoA"); a ring-opening hydrolase forms 3-oxo-5,6-didehydrosuberyl-CoA semialdehyde; a dehydrogenase forms 3-oxo-5,6-didehydrosuberyl-CoA; thiolase PaaJ forms cis-3,4-didehydroadipyl-CoA (and acetyl-CoA); isomerase PaaG forms trans-2,3-didehydroadipyl-CoA; hydratase PaaF forms (3S)-hydroxyadipyl-CoA; dehydrogenase PaaH forms 3-oxoadipyl-CoA, and thiolase PaaJ forms succinyl-CoA and acetyl-CoA. (The role of PaaG is described in PMID:31689071 and differs slightly from MetaCyc.) In the anaerobic pathway, a dehydrogenase forms phenylglyoxyl-CoA, a hydrolase forms phenylglyoxylate (this step is not linked to sequence but is likely provided by the phenylglyoxylyl-CoA dehydrogenase, see PMID:10336636), and another dehydrogenase forms benzoyl-CoA and CO2. In principle, this pathway could occur aerobically, so GapMind includes aerobic pathways for degrading the benzoyl-CoA.
- benzoyl-CoA-degradation:
- benzoyl-CoA-reductase, dch, had, oah, pimB and glutaryl-CoA-degradation
- or benzoyl-CoA-reductase, Ch1CoA, badK, badH, badI, pimD, pimC, pimF and glutaryl-CoA-degradation
- or boxA, boxB, boxC, boxD, paaF, paaH and paaJ2
- Comment: Benzoyl-CoA can be degraded anaerobically (link) by reduction to cyclohex-1,5-diene-1-carbonyl-CoA, followed by hydratase (dch) to 6-hydroxycyclohex-1-ene-1-carbonyl-CoA, a dehydrogenase to 6-oxocyclohex-1-ene-1-carbonyl-CoA, a hydrolase to 2-hydroxy-6-oxocycloheane-1-carbonyl-CoA, a ring-opening hydrolase to 3-hydroxypimeloyl-CoA [the last two steps are both catalyzed by oah], a dehydrogenase to 3-oxopimeloyl-CoA [not linked to sequence and omitted], and an acetyltransferase to glutaryl-CoA and acetyl-CoA. Alternatively, after reduction to cyclohex-1,5-diene-1-carbonyl-CoA, Ch1CoA can further reduce it to cyclohex-1-ene-1-carboxyl-CoA (link), followed by hydration to 2-hydroxy-cyclohexane-1-carbonyl-CoA, oxidation to 2-ketocyclohexane-1-carbonyl-CoA, cleavage by a ring-opening hydrolase to pimeloyl-CoA, oxidation to 2,3-didehydropimeloyl-CoA, hydration to 3-hydroxypimeloyl-C, oxidation to 3-oxopimeloyl-CoA and cleavage by a thiolase to glutaryl-CoA and acetyl-CoA. Benzoyl-CoA degradation can be degraded aerobically (link) by an epoxidase (boxAB) that forms 2,3-epoxy-2-3-dihydrobenzoyl-CoA; a dihydrolase forms cis-3,4-dihydroadipyl-CoA semialdehyde and formate; a dehydrogenase forms cis-3,4-dehydroadipyl-CoA; and an unknown isomerase forms trans-2,3-dehydroadipyl-CoA. This is converted to succinyl-CoA as in the anaerobic pathway (paaF, paaH, and paaJ2).
- glutaryl-CoA-degradation: gcdH, ech, fadB and atoB
- Comment: In MetaCyc pathway glutaryl-CoA degradation (link), glutaryl-CoA is oxidized to (E)-glutaconyl-CoA and oxidatively decarboxylated to crotonyl-CoA (both by the same enzyme), hydrated to 3-hydroxybutanoyl-CoA, oxidized to acetoacetyl-CoA, and cleaved to two acetyl-CoA.
- benzoyl-CoA-reductase:
- bcrA, bcrB, bcrC and bcrD
- or bamB, bamC, bamD, bamE, bamF, bamG, bamH and bamI
- Comment: Benzoyl-CoA reduction is energetically unfavorable. There are two classes of reductases: class I enzymes (bcrABCD) use ATP to drive the reaction, while class II enzymes (bamBCDEFGHI) are thought to us an electron bifurcation. SYN_02587 (Q2LQN9) from Syntrophus aciditrophicus, which can oxidize cyclohex-1,5-diene-1-carbonyl-CoA to benzoyl-CoA, is not included because it seems to lack a mechanism to drive benzoyl-CoA reduction.

- Comment: Produces two acetyl-CoA from acetoacetyl-CoA and CoA. EC 2.3.1.16 describes a broader range of beta-ketothiolases. This enzyme is usually homomeric, but I3R3D0 and I3RA71 are non-catalytic subunits of an enzyme from Haloferax mediterranei that also contains a "normal" catalytic subunit (I3R3D1, I3RA72). Inclusion of P07256 was an error in BRENDA. And CharProtDB includes an odd annotation of the form "similar to acetyl-CoA acetyltransferase"

- Curated proteins or TIGRFams with EC 5.3.3.18
- Comment: In MetaCyc, PaaG is described as a 1,2-epoxyphenylacetyl-CoA isomerase, but it is now thought to isomerize 2-(oxepinyl)acetyl-CoA to oxepin-CoA as well as cis-3,4-didehydroadiyplCoA to trans-2,3-didehydroadiypl-CoA (see PMID:31689071).

paaZ1: oxepin-CoA hydrolase
- Curated proteins or TIGRFams with EC 3.3.2.12

- Comment: PaaZ is a fusion protein of hydrolase and aldehyde dehydrogenase domains. However, in many bacteria that use this pathway, the 3-oxo-5,6-didehydrosuberyl-CoA dehydrogenase is a separate protein (PMC3064157). That study identified a single-domain protein (CAI08632.1) with oxepin-CoA hydrolase activity, but it was ~1,000x more active as a crotonyl-CoA hydrolase; since we are not sure if its oxepin-CoA hydrolase activity is physiologically relevant, we did not include it. In Paraburkholderia bryophila 376MFSha3.1, which has a single-domain 3-oxo-5,6-didehydrosuberyl-CoA dehydrogenase, the putative enoyl-CoA hydrolase H281DRAFT_04594 (A0A2Z5MCI7) is very important for phenylacetate utilization, and we predict that it is the missing oxepin-CoA hydrolase. (H281DRAFT_04594 is related to enoyl-CoA hydratases that form (S)-3-hydroxylacyl-CoA, while the hydrolase domain of PaaZ is related to enoyl-CoA hydratases that form (R)-3-hydroxylacyl-CoA. In fact, PaaZ can dehydrate (R)-3-hydroxybutyryl-CoA (PMC3064157).)

- Ignore hits to items matching 1.2.1.77 when looking for 'other' hits
- Comment: PaaZ is a fusion protein of hydrolase and aldehyde dehydrogenase domains. However, a single-domain dehydrogenase has also been characterized (PacL = CAI08120 = Q5P3J4; see PMC3064157). Some of these dehydrogenases are closely related to 3,4-dehydroadipyl-CoA semialdehyde dehydrogenases (EC 1.2.1.77), which perform a similar reaction, so similarity to those are ignored.

- Curated sequence GFF2751: Beta-ketoadipyl CoA thiolase (EC 2.3.1.-)
- Comment: PaaJ is a thiolase with two activities that are linked to two different EC numbers, so it is listed twice, as paaJ1 and paaJ2. The product of the first thiolase reaction should be 3,4-dehydroadipyl-CoA, not 2,3-dehydro-, so there is probably a second isomerization step, which might be catalyzed by paaG or by paaJ itself. In Burkholderia phytofirmans PsJN, this enzyme is BPHYT_RS17345 (B2SYZ2). In Paraburkholderia bryophila 376MFSha3.1, it is H281DRAFT_05723 (A0A2Z5MFE9). In Herbaspirillum seropedicae, it is HSERO_RS20660 (D8ITH5). In Marinobacter adhaerens, it is HP15_2695 (GFF2751). In BRENDA, Q845J3 is misannotated as paaJ; it is probably an accessory protein for assembly of the epoxidase (paaD, not included here).

- UniProt sequence A0A2Z5MEB0: SubName: Full=Enoyl-CoA hydratase {ECO:0000313|EMBL:AXF15582.1};
- Comment: This reaction is associated with EC 4.2.1.17, which is very broad (enoyl-CoA hydratase). P76081 is E. coli paaF and MONOMER-15953 is the characterized enzyme from Pseudomonas sp. Y2. BPHYT_RS17335 from Burkholderia phytofirmans and H281DRAFT_05725 (A0A2Z5MEB0) from Paraburkholderia bryophila 376MFSha3.1 are required for phenylacetate utilization and are distantly related to E. coli paaF.

- Comment: This step is described by 1.1.1.35, a broader term for 3-hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydrogenases. HP15_2693 (GFF2749) is involved in phenylalanine degradation via phenylacetyl-CoA and likely has this activity. HP15_1512 (GFF1550) is annotated as enoyl-CoA hydratase but likely has 3-hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydrogenase activity as well.

- Curated sequence BPHYT_RS17335: trans-2,3-dehydroadipyl-CoA hydratase (EC 4.2.1.17)
- Curated sequence GFF2389: Enoyl-CoA hydratase [valine degradation] (EC 4.2.1.17)
- Ignore hits to items matching 4.2.1.17 when looking for 'other' hits
- Comment: Psest_2437 (GFF2389) is the enoyl-CoA hydrotase for both isoleucine and valine degradation, which implies that (S)-3-hydroxybutanoyl-CoA is a substrate. Q97MS7 is misannotated in BRENDA. BPHYT_RS17335 was misannotated as paaF; it is very similar to the ech H16_A3307, which is a different explanation for its role in phenylacetate utilization. Short-chain enoyl-CoA hydratases are sometimes given EC 4.2.1.17 instead, so those are ignored.

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).
