Conserved hypothetical protein; Product name confidence: Class 4 (Homologs of previously reported genes of unknown function, or no similarity to any previously reported sequences).

Conserved hypothetical protein; Displays glyoxalase activity, catalyzing the conversion of glyoxal to glycolate; Belongs to the peptidase C56 family.

Lactoylglutathione lyase; Class 1: Function experimentally demonstrated in P. aeruginosa.

Lactoylglutathione lyase; Catalyzes the conversion of hemimercaptal, formed from methylglyoxal and glutathione, to S-lactoylglutathione.

Probable 2-hydroxyacid dehydrogenase; Product name confidence: Class 3 (Function proposed based on presence of conserved amino acid motif, structural feature or limited sequence similarity to an experimentally studied gene); Belongs to the D-isomer specific 2-hydroxyacid dehydrogenase family.

Conserved hypothetical protein; Protein and nucleotide deglycase that catalyzes the deglycation of the Maillard adducts formed between amino groups of proteins or nucleotides and reactive carbonyl groups of glyoxals. Thus, functions as a protein deglycase that repairs methylglyoxal- and glyoxal-glycated proteins, and releases repaired proteins and lactate or glycolate, respectively. Deglycates cysteine, arginine and lysine residues in proteins, and thus reactivates these proteins by reversing glycation by glyoxals. Acts on early glycation intermediates (hemithioacetals and aminocarbino [...]

Hypothetical protein; Product name confidence: Class 4 (Homologs of previously reported genes of unknown function, or no similarity to any previously reported sequences).

Tryptophan synthase beta chain; The beta subunit is responsible for the synthesis of L- tryptophan from indole and L-serine.

Threonine dehydratase, biosynthetic; Catalyzes the anaerobic formation of alpha-ketobutyrate and ammonia from threonine in a two-step reaction. The first step involved a dehydration of threonine and a production of enamine intermediates (aminocrotonate), which tautomerizes to its imine form (iminobutyrate). Both intermediates are unstable and short-lived. The second step is the nonenzymatic hydrolysis of the enamine/imine intermediates to form 2- ketobutyrate and free ammonia. In the low water environment of the cell, the second step is accelerated by RidA.
