Fred,
I would not call this gene a minor tail protein. It is at the end of a string of minor tail proteins and the next genes change directions. In my mind, these genes could be anything.

Great idea! I just added that!

We keep bumping into the IrrE protein. I have added "IrrE-like protein" to the Approved Function List. Will that work?

Maria,
I think that this is something to investigate. Let's see what your students turn up this ummer and address it then.
Will that work?

Hi all,
I just updated SEA-PHAGES phages shared with SEA-PHAGES schools. Thanks for making your phages available to others!

function assignment being used is "major capsid and protease fusion protein".

Any time one transmembrane domain is found, it is questionable. So we recommend using a second program. that usually takes care of the discrepancy.
Thanks for doing the quick experiment.

Either and all work.

Amaya,
As I look at this gene, I would NOT call it any of the above, but rather a Hypothetical Protein. If it was a hit to the transferase of the cluster B2's Rosebush DNA modification system, using DpdA-like tRNA-guanine transglycosylase would be appropriate.
Sonali, a phage with the other queosine pathway genes (I think) suggests that transferase could be the DpdA-like tRNA-guanine transglycosylase. But I haven't looked closely yet.
In the case of Aoka, when I HHPred that gene, I do not get a single significant hit. I worked through this with Christian and we agreed to not call it. Here is the caveat, you have a bunch of orphams in the area. Have you been able to assign a function to any of the surrounding genes? Depending on what you have found, I would like to look again.

Fred,
Terrific.
I think the note is there.

The 're-look' was a good thing. I am glad we took the time and weighed the evidence.

Posted in: tRNAsIs there any recent evidence of a tRNA overlapping a protein gene, even by a few bp?
