Protein Info for Echvi_1845 in Echinicola vietnamensis KMM 6221, DSM 17526
Updated annotation (from data): 2-hydroxy-3-keto-glucal transporter
Rationale: Specifically important in carbon source D-Salicin; carbon source D-Trehalose dihydrate. In a conserved cluster with the 3-ketoglycoside pathway starting with lacAC. The 3-ketoglycoside is probably cleaved in the periplasm by Echvi_2921 or Echvi_1840, yielding 2-hydroxy-3-keto-glucal. Hydration of the product to 3-ketoglucose appears to occur in the cytoplasm (Echvi_1842), so this is probably a 2-hydroxy-3-keto-glucal transporter.
Original annotation: Nucleoside H+ symporter.
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.
