Protein Info for SM_b21654 in Sinorhizobium meliloti 1021
Updated annotation (from data): ABC transporter for Lactose, permease component 2
Rationale: Specific phenotypes on Beta-Lactose. Not important for arabinose utilization but there is no other clear arabinose tranpsorter so who knows (KEGG_correct)
Original annotation: lactose ABC transporter 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.
