Updated annotation (from data): fusion of gluconokinase (EC 2.7.1.12) and the small permease component of the D-gluconate TRAP transporter Rationale: This protein has pleiotropic phenotypes which are not explained, but it is most important for fitness with D-gluconate as the carbon source, consistent with its putative roles as part of the tripartite gluconate transport system and as gluconate kinase. Also, the N-terminal part is 49% identical to PP3416 or gnuK from P. putida, which is the catabolic gluconate kinase (PMC1951859). The SEED and KEGG annotations ignore the dctQ-like C-terminal portion. Original annotation: carbohydrate kinase, thermoresistant glucokinase family Type 1: Protein-coding gene Located on scaffold Psest_Contig47.1, + strand, nucleotides 2,254,074 to 2,255,204 See nucleotide sequence around Psest_2123 or for all of scaffold Psest_Contig47.1
