Protein Info for RR42_RS03990 in Cupriavidus basilensis FW507-4G11
Updated annotation (from data): aspartate:proton symporter Glt
Rationale: Specifically important for asparagine utilization. Asparagine is probably cleaved in the periplasm (by RR42_RS12610 or RR42_RS26140) and RR42_RS03990 is 60% identical to aspartate transporter AO356_01905 from Pseudomonas fluorescens FW300-N2C3
Original annotation: C4-dicarboxylate ABC transporter
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.
