gp 72 in Gordonia phage Danyall has nice HHPred matches to nicotinamide riboside transporter. This function has been called in Gordonia phage Wizard but is not on the approved function list. Add?

We are annotating Rofo. In a couple of related phages (Vivi2 and Lennon), homologs of genes 4 and 6 have been called membrane proteins. However, gp 4 has no predicted TMH, so mistake? gp 6 does have 1 TMH but its location - between terminase and portal - makes me think this function call is suspect. Any insights?

I'm reviewing the annotation of Danyall, a DC phage. There are two rather long genes, 35 and 38, between the tapemeasure and the lysin genes that have been called Minor tail genes in Twister, another DC phage. Besides that and synteny, no other info supports function call. So, call function based on synteny?

If in the HHPred alignments, there is no match with a PDB file, then yes NKF is the proper call.
I am not sure what you are asking about the portal…

OK Thanks - I think I just needed to update DNAMaster and my post was supposed to read "asn" files! I love autocorrect, not!

has anybody tried to recently generate ash files in DNAMaster? I get nonsense…

And this is not an issue due to wrong lengths being entered when you entered the start and stop coordinates for each region? Or did those values not transfer after merge? I seem to recall getting weird messages from DNAMaster when that has happened…

OK - We will do some more comparative investigations and I will update then!

So in Eviarto, as mentioned above, I see a region that looks slippery around bp 9875 to 9886. I also see a region of 5 G starting at 9752. I don't see any stop codons that would make frameshifting at these sites not possible…

Yes - the word from Pitt is that we need crystal structures data to call the HT connector complex protein. This is a change from what we did previously.
