Updated annotation (from data): Transcriptional regulator of deoxyribose catabolism Rationale: Specifically important in carbon source 2-Deoxy-D-Ribose. Conserved synteny (in an apparent operon) with the SDR and the beta-keto acid cleavage enzyme suggested that it might regulate the operon. Motif analysis found a conserved palindrome GTGATCAC upstream of the operon that matches the motif for AkgR from Rhodobacter sphaeroides (PMCID: GTGATCAC), which is 32% identical to PS417_07240. Original annotation: GntR family transcriptional regulator Type 1: Protein-coding gene Located on scaffold CP007637, + strand, nucleotides 1,597,407 to 1,598,129 See nucleotide sequence around PS417_07240 or for all of scaffold CP007637
