Finding step aglK for trehalose catabolism in Lactobacillus shenzhenensis LY-73

4 candidates for aglK: trehalose ABC trehalose, ATPase component AglK

Score Gene Description Similar to Id. Cov. Bits Other hit Other id. Other bits
med L248_RS10935 sn-glycerol-3-phosphate ABC transporter ATP-binding protein UgpC ABC transporter for D-Maltose and D-Trehalose, ATPase component (characterized) 51% 97% 321.6 ATP-binding protein MsmK aka ABC transporter nucleotide binding protein, component of The fructooligosaccharide porter, MsmEFGK 76% 573.2
med L248_RS05360 ABC transporter ATP-binding protein ABC transporter for D-Maltose and D-Trehalose, ATPase component (characterized) 45% 97% 264.2 AlgS, component of Alginate (MW 27,000 Da) (and Alginate oligosaccharides) uptake porter. Sphingomonas species A1 is a 'pit-forming' bacterium that directly incorporates alginate into its cytoplasm through a pit-dependent transport system, termed a 'superchannel' (Murata et al., 2008). The pit is a novel organ acquired through the fluidity and reconstitution of cell surface molecules, and through cooperation with the transport machinery in the cells. It confers upon bacterial cells a more efficient way to secure and assimilate macromolecules 45% 283.5

This system may also transport melibiose, isomaltotriose and sucrose as well as isomaltosaccharides 43% 272.3
med L248_RS08300 ABC transporter ATP-binding protein ABC transporter for D-Maltose and D-Trehalose, ATPase component (characterized) 42% 86% 230.3 FutC aka SLL1878, component of Ferric iron (Fe3+) porter 43% 256.9

Confidence: high confidence medium confidence low confidence
transporter – transporters and PTS systems are shaded because predicting their specificity is particularly challenging.

GapMind searches the predicted proteins for candidates by using ublast (a fast alternative to protein BLAST) to find similarities to characterized proteins or by using HMMer to find similarities to enzyme models (usually from TIGRFams). For alignments to characterized proteins (from ublast), scores of 44 bits correspond to an expectation value (E) of about 0.001.

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:

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:

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:

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).
