Finding step manX for D-cellobiose catabolism in Roseivirga spongicola UST030701-084
No candidates for manX: glucose PTS, enzyme EIIAB
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 manX
- Curated sequence CH_088329: PTS system mannose-specific EIIAB component; EC 2.7.1.-; EC 2.7.1.69. PTS system mannose-specific EIIAB component; EIIAB-Man; EIII-Man; EC 2.7.1.191. PTNA aka MANX aka PTSL aka GPTB aka B1817, component of The mannose (glucose, 2-deoxyglucose, glucosamine, N-acetylglucosamine, N-acetylmannosamine, mannosamine and fructose) PTS porter/group translocator, ManXYZ (Rephaeli and Saier 1980; Plumbridge 2015). Catalyzes xylose facilitated diffusion in lactobacilli. The order of D-sugar substrate affinities is: glucose > mannose > 2-deoxyglucose > N-acetylglucosamine > glucosamine > N-acetylmannosamine > mannosamine > fructose. mannose-specific PTS enzyme IIAB component (EC 2.7.1.191; EC 2.7.1.199; EC 2.7.1.193). mannose-specific PTS enzyme IIAB component
- Curated sequence E1UCI0: PTS system, mannose-specific, IIAB component, component of The primary glucose /mannose uptake transporter, ManLMN
- Curated sequence Q04GK1: Phosphotransferase system, mannose/fructose-specific component IIA, component of The hexose (glucose and fructose demonstrated) PTS uptake system
- Curated sequence Q2QKM4: ManL aka EIIAB, component of Glucose porter, ManLMN
- Curated sequence Q5M5W6: ManL, component of The glucose/mannose/2-deoxyglucose/fructose phosphotransferase systems (phosphorylates without transport), ManLMN
- Ignore hits to Q9S4L5 when looking for 'other' hits (protein-Npi-phosphohistidine-D-mannose phosphotransferase (EC 2.7.1.191))
- Ignore hits to D2BKY7 when looking for 'other' hits (Mannose-specificPTS system, IIAB component, component of Mannose enzyme II complex, IIAB, IIC, IID. IIC/IID serve allows entry of some bacteriocins including pediocin (class IIa) and lactococcin A (class IIc) (Kjos et al., 2011). Transports and phosphorylates Glucose, Mannose and Glucosamine)
- Comment: PTS system manXYZ (manX is EIIAB; manY is EIIC; manZ is EIID) from E. coli, Listeria, Oenococcus, Lactobacillus, and Streptococcus. Systems related to manXYZ in Streptococcus salivarius and Lactococcus lactis subsp. lactis are reported to act on glucose, but are listed with other preferred substrates; ignore these.

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).
