Protein Info for AO356_07550 in Pseudomonas fluorescens FW300-N2C3
Updated annotation (from data): L-lactate and D-lactate permease (lctP family)
Rationale: This gene is often annotated as a L-lactate transporter but has a specific phenotype on D-lactate as well. Although it is difficult to rule out polar effects on the lactate dehydrogenase genes downstream, this gene's phenotype on D-lactate is conserved and is observed on both strands, and no other D-lactate transporter was identified by the mutant fitness data. (There is a zinc ABC transporter with a specific defect on D-lactate, but it is very similar to znuABC of P. aeruginosa, i.e. AO356_11480 is 65% identical to PA5498, so it is unlikely to be a lactate transporter.) Furthermore, the annotation as lactate permease seems to be derived from E. coli glcA or yghK, which transports both isomers of lactate (PMID:11283302). (KEGG_correct)
Original annotation: L-lactate 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.
