Protein Info for Psest_1178 in Pseudomonas stutzeri RCH2
Updated annotation (from data): D-glycerate 2-kinase (EC 2.7.1.-)
Rationale: Specifically important for: Glycolic Acid. Either glycerate kinase or hydroxypyruvate reductase could be involved in glycolate utilization (via glyoxylate and tartronate-semialdehyde, which can be converted to glycerate, perhaps via hydroxypyruvate). However this protein is similar to TM1585 (also PDB:2b8nA or GCK_THEMA), which is a glycerate kinase. We were not able to find a rationale for KEGG's annotation as hydroxypyruvate reductase. (SEED_correct)
Original annotation: Putative glycerate kinase
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.
