Protein Info for Ga0059261_1577 in Sphingomonas koreensis DSMZ 15582
Updated annotation (from data): L-glutamine and L-histidine transporter
Rationale: Specific phenotype on glutamine; also important for histidine utilization; detrimental to fitness on some other amino acids (proline, alanine) which may indicate that it likes these amino acids
Original annotation: amino acid/polyamine/organocation transporter, APC superfamily (TC 2.A.3)
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.
