Hsero_1011

Summary: Catalytic activity is as specific as the evidence allows: FAH-fold membership establishes an enzyme, but not which reaction class.

Reason: FAH-family catalytic-domain membership supports enzymatic activity. A more specific term is not supported: the FAH fold includes hydrolases, decarboxylases, isomerases and hydratases, and KEGG marks both reactions assigned to FdeI, the R13078 decarboxylation and the R13079 dehydration, as unclear, so catalytic activity is as specific as the evidence supports. The predicted decarboxylase role is carried in the knowledge gap, matching the FdeH (Hsero_1010) and FdeJ (Hsero_1012) reviews, which assert no specific molecular function either.

Summary: Withdraw the inherited FdeI process proposal; an individual flavonoid-catabolic step has not been established.

Reason: The conserved locus and orthology identify a candidate FdeI protein, but the FAH fold supports multiple reaction classes, while the proposed R13078/R13079 transformations are untested. The available whole-operon phenotype, including the probably polar fdeA insertion, does not show which step this individual protein performs. There is no independently assayed donor for this particular role; the corresponding BRADU comparator bll6422 likewise carries no process assertion. Retain the original source payload and row position while withdrawing the active proposal. The retired flag records this curator decision, not disappearance of an upstream GOA row or proof of biological absence. Native participation remains an open question. REMOVE records withdrawal of this earlier curator-authored NEW proposal, not removal of a current GOA assertion. It does not claim that the protein is biologically incapable of participating in flavonoid catabolism.
