Reasons for Current Assignment
We have assigned the function "Acetate kinase (EC 2.7.2.1)" to the encoded protein. The protein
occurs in 3 subsystems: "Fermentations: Lactate", "Fermentations: Mixed acid", and "Pyruvate
metabolism II: acetyl-CoA, acetogenesis from pyruvate". In "Fermentations: Lactate", it appears to
play a functional role that we have not associated with any other gene, and it occurs in close
proximity on the chromosome with another gene from the same subsystem. In "Fermentations: Mixed
acid", it appears to play a functional role that we have not associated with any other gene, and it
occurs in close proximity on the chromosome with another gene from the same subsystem. In "Pyruvate
metabolism II: acetyl-CoA, acetogenesis from pyruvate", it appears to play a functional role that we
have not associated with any other gene, and it occurs in close proximity on the chromosome with
another gene from the same subsystem. The function of genes having the same functional roles have
been described in Clostridium acetobutylicum (8702268), Bacillus subtilis (8226682) and Thermotoga maritima (10074080). These are homologous proteins which implement the same function.
Compare Regions
The chromosomal region of the focus gene (top) is compared with four similar organisms. The graphic is centered on the focus gene, which is red and numbered 1. Sets of genes with similar sequence are grouped with the same number and color. Genes whose relative position is conserved in at least four other species are functionally coupled and share gray background boxes. The size of the region and the number of genomes may be reset. Click on any arrow in the display to refocus the comparison on that gene. The focus gene always points to the right, even if it is located on the minus strand.
