Rules

Overview: Myo-inositol degradation in GapMind is based on MetaCyc pathways myo-inositol degradation I via inosose dehydratase (link) and pathway II inosose dehydrogenase (link).

or myo-inositol-transport, iolG, iolM, iolN, iolO, uxaE, uxuB, uxuA, kdgK and eda
Comment: Both pathways begin with the 2-dehydrogenase (iolG) forming scyllo-inosose. In pathway I, inosose dehydratase (iolE) forms 3D-(3,5/4)-trihydroxycyclohexane-1,2-dione, followed by a ring-cleaving hydrolase to 5-deoxy-D-glucuronate, isomerization to 5-dehydro-2-deoxy-D-gluconate, phosphorylation, and cleavage by an aldolase to 3-oxopropionate (malonate semialdehyde) and glycerone phosphate; the 3-oxopropionate is oxidized to acetyl-CoA while the glycerone phosphate is converted by triose-phosphate isomerase to glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate. In pathway II, a dehydrogenase forms 3-dehydro scyllo-inosose (also known as 2,4-diketo-inositol), a hydratase forms 5-dehydro-L-gluconate, an epimerase forms D-tagaturonate, another forms to D-fructonate, a reductase forms D-mannonate, a dehydratase forms 2-keto-3-deoxygluconate, a kinase forms 2-keto-3-deoxy-gluconate 6-phosphate, and an aldolase forms glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate and pyruvate.

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).
