Description, Abstract, or Artist's Statement
This project is part of the Meiothermus ruber genome analysis project, which uses the bioinformatics tools associated with the Guiding Education through Novel Investigation –Annotation Collaboration Toolkit (GENI-ACT) to predict gene function. We investigated the biological function of the genes Mrub_1873, Mrub_1872, and Mrub_1871.We predict that Mrub_1873 (DNA coordinates 1933743..1934309 on the reverse strand), Mrub_1872 (DNA coordinates 1932430..1933746 on the reverse strand), and Mrub_1871 (DNA coordinates 1930055..1932421 on the reverse strand) are subunits of the NADH ubiquinone oxidoreductase complex (00190). The complex catalyzes both the transfer of protons across the cytoplasmic membrane and the transfer of electrons to ubiquinone during the process of oxidative phosphorylation. The E. coli K12 MG1655 orthologs are predicted to be b2285, b2284, and b2283, which have the gene identifiers NuoE, NuoF, NuoG respectively.
