Updated annotation (from data): 3-ketoglucose dehydratase Rationale: Specifically important for: D-Salicin; D-Cellobiose. Cofit with a beta-mannosidase (SMc04255), which is not explained. This protein is 72% identical to AtHyd, which is a 3-ketoglucose dehydratase (PMC10628242). This reaction (in reverse) is part of the 3-ketoglycoside pathway (SMc04253 appears to be the glycoside 3-dehydrogenase; the lyase is not apparent; and SMc03161 appears to be 3-ketoglucose reductase.) The 3-ketoglycoside pathway might occur in parallel with direct hydrolysis by the beta-mannosidase. Original annotation: hypothetical protein Type 1: Protein-coding gene Located on scaffold NC_003047, - strand, nucleotides 3,120,653 to 3,121,705 See nucleotide sequence around SMc03162 or for all of scaffold NC_003047
