Figure 1From: Analysis of and function predictions for previously conserved hypothetical or putative proteins in Blochmannia floridanusInositol Pathway. The identified predicted enzyme activities of Blochmannia are mapped on the pathway of inositol synthesis. Theyinclude: a MFS family transporter (Bfl240, IolF-like, top right; exact substrate specificity not known), ADP-heptose synthase (Bfl063, IolC-like), an acetolactate synthase II, large subunit (Bfl593; IolD-like) and its small subunit, neighbouring protein Bfl 592 (both proteins should physically interact), fructose 1,6-bisphosphate aldolase (Bfl255, IolJ-like; this enzyme is also involved in glycolysis) and predicted myo-inositol-1(or 4)-monophosphatase (Bfl535; related to the Archaeal fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase and related enzymes of inositol monophosphatase family). Bfl601 (triosephosphate isomerase) finishes the pathway converting created dihydroxyacetone phosphate into glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate.Back to article page
