Gene Description

aadK encodes an aminoglycoside nucleotidyltransferase in Bacillus subtilis (strain 168). UniProt/CARD identify this entry as an aminoglycoside-modifying resistance enzyme that inactivates aminoglycoside antibiotics by adenylylation/nucleotidyl transfer. UniProt names the protein 'Aminoglycoside 6-adenylyltransferase' (accession P17585).

Suggested Questions for Experts

Q: Is the ARO-derived aminoglycoside nucleotidyltransferase activity annotation sufficiently specific for aadK, or is a narrower substrate/site-specific GO term warranted?

Suggested Experiments

Experiment: Biochemically assay purified aadK against representative antibiotic substrates for the inferred AMR family and measure loss of drug activity or target modification.

Type: in vitro enzyme assay
