It also doesn't load for me. Time to send an email ???

yep– absolutely I would delete it. Good instincts!

Thanks for asking!

OK, I completely agree with deleting gene 35 shown in your screenshot from your annotation; I am hoping that Snazzy is the middle genome you are showing here.

Could you upload similar pictures of the other site you are concerned about?

Here is an example of where the overlapping primase gene should be added to a cluster A annotation. Power point slide by Chris Brey.

But the back end of Pol I is where the polymerase part is. right? So I see a pretty good full length alignment ( I reran to see all the matches) starting part of the way through Pol I and running through to the end.
IF you look farther down the HHPred matches the first domain of the phage protein aligns to solo 3'-5' exos, which is the middle of Pol I. and the back half of ours is a polymerase domain. So the missing bit in the phage gene is the 5'-3'exo, that is at the beginning of E coli pol I.

Hi Sally–
In the second picture you show, the protein is aligning to the crystal structure of the Klenow fragament; which according to the first picture you show, includes the polymerase and the 3'-5' exo domains, but not the 5'-3' exo domain. Correct?

is there another candidate for an endolysin/lysin A?

sounds like the kinase call is wrong.
Thanks Steve.

Hi Steve,
sO I guess the question is if we can confirm the more specific assignment. I don't know enough about the enzymes to know how closely related they are, and if we are sure of the chitosinase label. are there specific domains or residues we should look for? IF it is not easy to confirm, the more generic is always appropriate.
