Confirmation That Mrub_1751 Is Homologous To E. Coli Xylf, Mrub_1752 Is Homologous To E. Coli Xylh, And Mrub_1753 Is Homologous To E. Coli Xylg, Ben Price, Dr. Lori Scott

Meiothermus ruber Genome Analysis Project
In this project we investigated the biological function of the genes Mrub_1751, Mrub_1752 and Mrub_1753 (KEGG map number 02010). We predict these genes encode components of a D-xylose ATP Binding Cassette (ABC) transporter: 1) Mrub_1752 (DNA coordinates 1809004-1810224 on the forward strand) encodes the permease component (aka transmembrane domain), predicted to be an ortholog and 2) Mrub_1753 (DNA coordinates 1810227-1811000 on the forward strand) encodes the ATP-binding domain (aka nucleotide binding domain); and 3) Mrub_1751 (DNA coordinates 1807855-1808892 on the forward strand) encodes the solute binding protein. The ABC-transporter for M. ruber to transport D-xylose is homologous with the transporter …

Meiothermus ruber Genome Analysis Project
We predict that Mrub_1905 and Mrub_1906 encode the enzyme 2-isopropylmalate synthase (Mrub_1906 DNA coordinates complement(1965044..1966603) Mrub_1905 DNA coordinates complement(1963455..1965041)), which is the first step of the leucine biosynthesis pathway (KEGG map number 00290). It catalyzes the conversion of (2S)-2-isopropylmalate to 2-isopropylmaleate. The E. coli K12 MG1655 ortholog is predicted to be b0074, which has the gene identifier leuA. We predict that Mrub_1846 encodes the enzyme 3-isopropylmalate dehydrogenase (DNA coordinates complement(1903909..1904961)), which is the third step of the leucine biosynthesis pathway (KEGG map number 00290). It catalyzes the conversion of (2R,3S)-3-isopropylmalate to (2S)-2-isopropyl-3-oxosuccinate. The E. coli K12 MG1655 ortholog is predicted …
Bioinformatics Indicates That Meiothermus Ruber Genes Mrub_1710 And Mrub_1712 Are Homologs Of The Escherichia Coli Genes B2903 (P-Protein; Glycine Dehydrogenase) And B2905 (T-Protein; Aminomethyltransferase), Respectively, Malory J. Groen, Dr. Lori Scott

Meiothermus ruber Genome Analysis Project
This project is part of the Meiothermus ruber genome analysis project, which uses the bioinformatics tools associated with the Guiding Education through Novel Investigation – Annotation Collaboration Toolkit (GENI-ACT) to predict gene function. We investigated the biological function of the genes Mrub_1710 and Mrub_1712. We predict that Mrub_1710 encodes the enzyme glycine dehydrogenase (DNA coordinates 3046168.. 3049041 on the reverse strand), which is the first step of the glycine degradation pathway (KEGG map number 00260). It catalyzes the conversion of glycine to S-Amino-methyldihydro-lipoylprotein. The E. coli K12 MG1655 ortholog is predicted to be b2903, which has the gene identifier gcvP. …
