Finding step fruII-A for D-fructose catabolism in Marinobacter algicola DG893
No candidates for fruII-A: fructose-specific PTS system (fructose 1-phosphate forming), EII-A component
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 fruII-A
- Curated sequence D2RXA7: Putative PTS IIA-like nitrogen-regulatory protein PtsN, component of Fructose Enzyme II complex (IIAFru - IIBFru - IICFru) (based on homology)
- Curated sequence D4GYE4: PTS system fructose-specific EIIA component; EIIA-Fru; Fructose-specific phosphotransferase enzyme IIA component. Sugar phosphotransferase system IIA component, component of Fructose-specific PTS, PtfABC
- Curated sequence Q5V5X4: Sugar hosphotransferase system IIA component, component of Fructose-specific Enzyme I-HPr-Enzyme IIABC complex, all encoded within a single operon with genes in the order: ptsC (IIC), ptsA (IIA), ptsH (HPr), ptsI (Enzyme I) and ptsB (IIB)
- Comment: 3-part PTS system (fructose 1-phosphate forming) in Haloferax volcanii, Haloterrigena turkmenica, Haloarcula marismortui. The Haloarcula gene cluster also includes enzyme I (ptsI, Q5V5X2) and HPr (ptsH, Q5V5X3), which is not represented here

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).
