Meiothermus ruber Genome Analysis Project
ABSTRACT. 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_0173, Mrub_0125, and Mrub_ 2910. We predict that Mrub_0173 encodes the enzyme phosphoglycerate dehydrogenase (DNA coordinates 152982 ... 154347), which is the 1st step of the serine biosynthesis pathway (KEGG map number 00680). It catalyzes the conversion of NAD+ + 3-phospho-D-glycerate → NADH H+ + 3-phospho-hydroxypyruvate. The E. coli K12 MG1655 ortholog is predicted to be b2913, which has …
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

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. …
