Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAO1, PA5398 (dgcA)

Annotation Updates

Date	Description	Acknowledgements
Jan 10, 2008	New comment: Strains with deletions in dgcA are unable to grow on choline, glycine betaine, or dimethylglcycine but are able to utilize sarcosine. NMR analysis shows buildup of labeled dimethylglycine when dgcA mutants are given labeled choline. Presumed to function with DgcB (PA5399). New gene name: dgcA (Existing value: blank). New product name confidence: Class 1 (Existing value: Class 3). New PseudoCAP function class: Amino acid biosynthesis and metabolism. New evidence reference (PMID): 17951379. New product name: DgcA, Dimethylglycine catabolism (Existing value: probable FMN oxidoreductase).	Matthew Wargo and Deborah Hogan, Dartmouth Medical School, USA
