Definition of D-mannose catabolism

# Mannose utilization in GapMind is based on MetaCyc pathways
# D-mannose degradation I via a PTS system (metacyc:MANNCAT-PWY),
# pathway II via mannose kinase (metacyc:PWY3O-1743),
# or conversion to fructose by mannose isomerase.

# PTS systems

# E. coli has manXYZ, where manX has EII-AB, manY has EII-C, and manZ has EII-D.
#   (ManZ is listed twice with slightly different sequence lengths).
# Similar systems are known in Lactococcus lactis, Listeria monocytogenes, and Streptococcus thermophilus.
# However, the S. thermophilus system seems not to be active due to a defective IIC domain (PMID:12957931), so
#   those proteins are marked ignore.
# L. monocytogenes also has a PTS-like regulatory system, mpoABCD, which is not included.
#   (It is reported to act as a glucose transporter, but slowly; not clear if it transports mannose.)
# There's also a paper about manLMN from Streptococcus salivarius, but I don't think it is actually
# characterized, so ignore.
# Closely related to some systems with unclear specificity, ignore those.

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).
