Protein Info for PGA1_262p00440 in Phaeobacter inhibens DSM 17395
Updated annotation (from data): glucose transporter, permease component
Rationale: specific phenotype on glucose and cofit with nearby xylF (PGA1_262p00430) and xylG (PGA1_262p00450). This is similar to the gxyB (Atu3575) of Agrobacterium tumefaciens, which is involved in the transport of glucose, glucosamine, and xylose (PMCID: PMC4135649). It is not clear if the Phaeobacter system transports xylose, as it is not required for utilizing xylose, but no other xylose transport system was identified either.
Original annotation: xylose transport system permease protein XylH
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.
