Rules
Overview: Tryptophan degradation in GapMind is based on MetaCyc degradation pathways I via anthranilate (link), II via pyruvate (link), or IX via 3-hydroxyanthranilate (link). Pathway XII (link) overlaps with pathway I and is also represented. The other MetaCyc pathways do not yield fixed carbon or are not reported in prokaryotes, and are not included. For example, pathway IV yields indole-3-lactate, which could potentially be oxidized to indole-3-acetate, which has a known catabolic pathway, but no prokaryotes are known to consume tryptophan this way. Pathway VIII yields tryptophol (also known as indole-3-ethanol), which could potentially be oxidized to indole-3-acetate and consumed. Pathways X and XIII yield indole-3-propionate, which may spontaneously oxidize to kynurate, but kynurate catabolism is not reported.
- all:
- tryptophan-transport, kynA, kynB, kyn and anthranilate-degradation
- or tryptophan-transport and tnaA
- or tryptophan-transport, kynA, kynB, sibC, kyn and 3-hydroxyanthranilate-degradation
- Comment: In pathway I, dioxygenase kynA opens the non-aromatic ring, to N-formyl-L-kynureine, a hydrolase yields L-kynurenine (and formate), and a hydrolase yields anthranilate and L-alanine. In pathway II, the tryptophan is hydrolyzed to indole and pyruvate, and the indole may be secreted (as in E. coli). In pathway IX, dioxygenase kynA forms N-formyl-L-kynurenine and a hydrolase forms L-kynurenine, as in pathway I; then, oxygenase sibC forms 3-hydroxy-L-kynurenine, which is hydrolyzed to L-alanine and 3-hydroxyanthranilate.
- anthranilate-degradation:
- anthranilate-dioxygenase and catechol-degradation
- or hpaH and 3-hydroxyanthranilate-degradation
- Comment: In MetaCyc pathway anthranilate degradation I (link), a dioxygenase cleaves off carbon dioxide and ammonia, leaving catechol. In MetaCyc pathway anthranilate degradation IV (link), anthranilate hydroxylase/monooxygenase (hpaH) yields 3-hydroxyanthranilate. Additional pathways are not included: the fate of 2-amino-5-oxocyclohex-1-enecarboxyl-CoA is not known (link), and anthraniloyl-CoA reductase (the only anaerobic route known, link) has not been linked to sequence.
- anthranilate-dioxygenase:
- 3-hydroxyanthranilate-degradation: nbaC, nbaD, nbaE, nbaF, nbaG and 2-hydroxypenta-2,4-dienoate-degradation
- Comment: 3-hydroxyanthranilate degradation is part of L-tryptophan degradation pathway XII (link). Dioxygenase NbaC cleaves the aromatic ring, yielding 2-amino-3-carboxymuconate 6-semialdehyde, a decarboxylase forms (2Z,4E)-2-aminomuconate semialdehyde, a dehydrogenase forms (2Z,4E)-2-aminomuconate, a deaminase forms (3E)-2-oxo-3-hexenedioate (also known as 2-oxalocrotonate), and a decarboxylase forms (2Z)-2-hydroxypenta-2,4-dienoate (HPD).
- catechol-degradation:
- xylE and 2-hydroxymuconate-6-semialdehyde-degradation
- or catA, catB, catC, pcaD and 3-oxoadipate-degradation
- Comment: In MetaCyc pathway catechol degradation to HPD I (meta-cleavage, link), dioxygenase xylE converts catechol to (2Z,4E)-2-hydroxy-6-oxohexa-2,4-dienoate (also known as 2-hydroxymuconate 6-semialdehyde). (Catechol degradation to HPD II also involves xylE and HPD, link.) In MetaCyc pathway catechol degradation III (ortho-cleavage, link), the 1,2-dioxygenase catA forms cis,cis-muconate, a cycloisomerase forms (+)-muconolactone, an isomerase converts this to (4,5-dihydro-5-oxofuran-2-yl)-acetate (also known as 3-oxoadipate enol lactone), and a hydrolase cleaves this to 3-oxoadipate.
- 3-oxoadipate-degradation: 3-oxodipate-CoA-transferase and pcaF
- Comment: MetaCyc pathway 3-oxoadipate degradation (link) involves activation by CoA (using succinyl-CoA) and a thiolase (succinyltransferase) reaction that splits it to acetyl-CoA and succinyl-CoA.
- 2-hydroxymuconate-6-semialdehyde-degradation:
- praB, praC, praD and 2-hydroxypenta-2,4-dienoate-degradation
- or xylF and 2-hydroxypenta-2,4-dienoate-degradation
- Comment: Dehydrogenase praB forms 2-hydroxymuconate, tautomerase praC forms (3E)-2-oxohex-3-enedioate (2-oxalocrotonate), and decarboxylase praD yields 2-hydroxypenta-2,4-dienoate (HPD). (This series of steps is part of protocatechuate para-cleavage, link, or catechol degradation II, link.) Or, hydrolase xylF forms HPD and formate. (This is part of a MetaCyc pathway for catechol degradation, link.)
- 2-hydroxypenta-2,4-dienoate-degradation: mhpD, mhpE and acetaldehyde-degradation
- Comment: (2Z)-2-hydroxypenta-2,4-dienoate (HPD) is a common intermediate in the aerobic degradation of many aromatic compounds. In MetaCyc pathway 2-hydroxypenta-2,4-dienoate degradation (link), HPD is hydrated to (S)-4-hydroxy-2-oxopentanoate and an aldolase cleaves it to pyruvate and acetaldehyde.
- 3-oxodipate-CoA-transferase:
- pcaI and pcaJ
- or catI and catJ
- Comment: Two different types of 3-oxoadipate CoA-transferases (EC 2.8.3.6) are known. They are both heteromeric with each subunit containing a CoA-transferase domain
- acetaldehyde-degradation:
- ald-dh-CoA
- or adh and acs
- or adh, ackA and pta
- Comment: Acetaldehyde can be oxidized to acetyl-CoA, or oxidized to acetate and activated to acetyl-CoA by either acetyl-CoA synthetase (acs) or by acetate kinase (ackA) and phosphate acetyltransferase (pta).

PfGW456L13_4291 (A0A293QSB2) from P. fluorescens GW4560-L13 is related to aroP and is specifically important for tryptophan utilization. Unfortunately A0A293QSB2 is no longer in UniProt; the closest remaining sequence is Q4KIP0 (only 87% identical). FywP (A2RMP5) may well be a tryptophan transporter as well, so ignore.

- Curated proteins or TIGRFams with EC 3.5.1.9
- Ignore hits to MONOMER-19595 when looking for 'other' hits (N-formyl-β-hydroxy-L-kynurenine formamidase (EC 3.5.1.9))

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).
