Characterizing the Biological Functions of Five Shikimate Dehydrogenase Homologs Enzymes in Pseudomonas putida KT2440
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The shikimate pathway links carbohydrate metabolism to biosynthesis of the aromatic amino acids in plants, fungi, bacteria and apicomplexan parasites. The pathway has seven enzymatic steps which convert erythrose-4-phosphate and phosphoenolpyruvate to chorismate, the precursor of tyrosine, tryptophan and phenylalanine. Due to the absence of the pathway in mammalian species, the enzymes are attractive targets for herbicides and antimicrobials. Shikimate dehydrogenase (SDH) catalyses the fourth step, the NADP-dependent reversible reduction of 3-dehydroshikimate to shikimate. Five SDH homologs – AroE, Ael1, YdiB, RifI and SdhL – have been identified through kinetic analysis and phylogenetic studies in the bacterium Pseudomonas putida. SDH homolog gene knockouts (KO) were used to characterize their functions. The AroE KO and Ael1 KO were successfully constructed via gene SOEing of the SDH homolog with a gentamycin antibiotic cassette and homologous recombination via electroporation into WT P. putida KT2440. Preliminary characterization tested KO growth, auxotroph recovery and fluorescent activity.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
