Protein Info for AO356_17790 in Pseudomonas fluorescens FW300-N2C3
Updated annotation (from data): alpha-ketoglutarate permease (MHS family)
Rationale: Specific phenotype on a-ketoglutarate. Not important for the utilization of other dicarboxylates (succinate or malate). 83% identical to PA5530, which is reported to transport a-ketoglutarate and also glutarate (PMC4097582). KEGG_correct
Original annotation: MFS transporter
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.
