Gene info for BT2802 in Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron VPI-5482

Updated annotation (from data): conserved protein required for D-ribose utilization
Rationale: Specifically important in carbon source D-Ribose. This protein is in conserved proximity to ribose kinase. It has no apparent homology to characterized proteins. It is often divergent from the ribose kinase, which hints that it has a regulatory role.
Original annotation: hypothetical protein (NCBI ptt file)
Type 1: Protein-coding gene
Located on scaffold 241, + strand, nucleotides 3,477,149 to 3,478,690
