Protein Info for DVU0285 in Desulfovibrio vulgaris Hildenborough JW710
Name: hisH
Updated annotation (from data): IGP synthase, amidotransferase subunit (EC 4.3.2.10)
Rationale: Important for fitness in most defined media. Semi-automated annotation based on the auxotrophic phenotype and a hit to HMM TIGR01855.
Original annotation: imidazole glycerol phosphate synthase, glutamine amidotransferase subunit (TIGR)
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.
