Updated annotation (from data): large subunit of pyruvate transporter (CstA) Rationale: Specifically important for pyruvate utilization. Related to E. coli cstA, which is involved in pyruvate transport along with ybdD (PMID:29358499). Also similar to pyruvate transporter btsT (formerly yjiY). It is not certain if AO353_25255 functions with a ybdD-like component: the downstream gene, AO353_25260, is ybdD-like and has subtle defects during growth on pyruvate. Original annotation: carbon starvation protein A Type 1: Protein-coding gene Located on scaffold CP012830, + strand, nucleotides 5,570,728 to 5,572,785 See nucleotide sequence around AO353_25255 or for all of scaffold CP012830
