Protein Info for PS417_24105 in Pseudomonas simiae WCS417
Updated annotation (from data): D-lactate transporter (lctP family)
Rationale: specific phenotype for D-lactate and no other transporter for D-lactate was apparent in the fitness data. Also important for utilization of D,L-lactate. Not clear if it transports L-lactate as well or not, but since it is in an apparent operon with a D-lactate dehydrogenase (PS417_24110), its main role is probably for transport of D-lactate.
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.
