Gene Description

strB encodes an aminoglycoside phosphotransferase in Pseudomonas aeruginosa. UniProt/CARD identify this entry as an aminoglycoside-modifying resistance enzyme that inactivates aminoglycosides by phosphorylation. UniProt names the protein 'Streptomycin resistance protein B' (accession O84956).

Existing Annotations Review

GO Term Evidence Action Reason
GO:0016773 phosphotransferase activity, alcohol group as acceptor
IEA
GO_REF:0000002
MODIFY
Summary: The existing MF term is directionally correct but less informative than the family-specific AMR activity aminoglycoside phosphotransferase activity.
Reason: Replace the broad or over-specific electronic term 'phosphotransferase activity, alcohol group as acceptor' with aminoglycoside phosphotransferase activity based on UniProt/CARD determinant identity and the curated ARO->GO mapping.
Supporting Evidence:
file:genes/PSEAI/strB/strB-uniprot.txt
DR CARD; ARO:3002660; APH(6)-Id; ARO:0001004; antibiotic inactivation.
GO:0019748 secondary metabolic process
IEA
GO_REF:0000002
MODIFY
Summary: This is a broad process term and does not capture the AMR role of the enzyme.
Reason: The more informative process is response to antibiotic; the molecular activity should be captured by aminoglycoside phosphotransferase activity.
Proposed replacements: response to antibiotic
Supporting Evidence:
file:genes/PSEAI/strB/strB-uniprot.txt
DR CARD; ARO:3002660; APH(6)-Id; ARO:0001004; antibiotic inactivation.
GO:0034071 aminoglycoside phosphotransferase activity
RCA
file:projects/ANTIMICROBIAL_RESISTANCE/aro2go.sssom.yaml
NEW
Summary: NEW candidate annotation from the curated ARO->GO mapping: aminoglycoside phosphotransferase activity.
Reason: The UniProt record cross-references a CARD/ARO AMR determinant, and the curated ARO->GO mapping projects the family-specific molecular function aminoglycoside phosphotransferase activity. This focused draft accepts the candidate as a curator lead for this AMR determinant.

NEW
Summary: NEW process annotation: strB is an AMR determinant involved in antibiotic response/resistance.
Reason: CARD/ARO identity places this gene in an antimicrobial-resistance determinant family; response to antibiotic is the appropriate high-level GO biological process for the resistance role.
Supporting Evidence:

DR CARD; ARO:3002660; APH(6)-Id; ARO:0001004; antibiotic inactivation.

Core Functions

Suggested Questions for Experts

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

Suggested Experiments

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

Type: in vitro enzyme assay

Focused AMR batch review. UniProt accession: O84956. Source organism: Pseudomonas aeruginosa.

  • UniProt/CARD provenance: DR CARD; ARO:3002660; APH(6)-Id; ARO:0001004; antibiotic inactivation.
  • ARO-to-GO candidate: GO:0034071 (aminoglycoside phosphotransferase activity) from projects/ANTIMICROBIAL_RESISTANCE/data/candidate_new_annotations.tsv and projects/ANTIMICROBIAL_RESISTANCE/aro2go.sssom.yaml.
  • This is a DRAFT focused review intended to cover the AMR annotation gap; it has not had a gene-specific deep-research pass.
