Meiothermus ruber Genome Analysis Project

We predict Mrub_0437 encodes the enzyme glycerol kinase (DNA coordinates [417621..419183), which is an intermediary step of the glycerolipid metabolic pathway (KEGG map00561), It catalyzes the conversion of glycerol to sn-Glycerol-3-phosphate. The E. coli K12 MG1655 ortholog is predicted to be b3926.

We predict Mrub_1813 encodes the enzyme diacylglycerol kinase (DNA coordinates [1864659..1865063), which is an intermediary step of the glycerolipid metabolic pathway (KEGG map00561), It catalyzes the conversion of 1,2-diacyl-sn-glycerol to 1,2-diacyl-sn-glycerol 3-phosphate. The E. coli K12 MG1655 ortholog is predicted to be b4042.

We predict Mrub_2759 encodes the enzyme glycerol kinase (DNA coordinates [2799712..2800665), which is an intermediary …

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 …
