Protein Info for AO353_16120 in Pseudomonas fluorescens FW300-N2E3
Updated annotation (from data): D-alanine and L-alanine transporter
Rationale: Specific phenotype on D-alanine as the carbon source. Also important for utilizing L-alanine as a carbon source. Both of these phenotypes are conserved. For D-alanine as a nitrogen source, there is a mild phenotype, and it may be partly redundant with another amino acid transporter (AO353_04615:04600). Sometimes annotated as a glycine transporter, but neither it nor its orthologs are important on glycine.
Original annotation: D-alanine/D-serine/glycine permease
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.
