Protein Info for SO3461 in Shewanella oneidensis MR-1
Updated annotation (from data): Fatty acid transporter
Rationale: Specific phenotype on Tween-20, which is hydrolyzed extracellularly to fatty acids (typically around 12 carbons). This protein is distantly related (PF03547) to auxin efflux transporters in plants and to the malate permease mleT of Lactobacillus casei (PMID: 23835171)
Original annotation: transporter, putative (NCBI ptt file)
These analyses and tools can help you predict a protein's function, but be skeptical. For enzymes, over 10% of annotations from KEGG or SEED are probably incorrect. For other types of proteins, the error rates may be much higher. MetaCyc and Swiss-Prot have low error rates, but the best hits in these databases are often quite distant, so this protein's function may not be the same. TIGRFam has low error rates. Finally, many experimentally-characterized proteins are not in any of these databases. To find relevant papers, use PaperBLAST.
