AMP deaminase: Missing EC 3.5.4.6, an adenosine monophosphate deaminase. Both JGI and Manatee call an adenosine deaminase with EC 3.5.4.- Guanase: Missing EC 3.5.4.3, a guanine deaminase. RAST calls a hypothetical protein with EC 3.5.4.3 AT THE EXACT SAME BASE PAIRS that JGI and Manatee called an adenosine deaminase. Xanthine oxidoreductase: Missing EC 1.17.3.2 or 1.17.1.4. Xanthine oxoreductase: Same EC numbers as Xanthine Oxidoreductase OVERARCHING QUESTIONS: Is it an adenosine monophosphate deaminase or a guanine deaminase? What is xanthine and why does our organism appear to have no ability to do anything with it (same with other halophiles)?
BLAST Result for adenosine / guanine deaminase: Most were cytidine deaminases… But the second highest result was a guanine deaminase! Conclusion: Possibly a guanine deaminase?
