Gene Description

GcvH1 is one of two KT2440 glycine cleavage H proteins. It is a small, non-catalytic carrier with a covalently attached lipoyl arm that accepts the glycine-derived aminomethyl group from GcvP, presents the intermediate to GcvT, and is subsequently reoxidized by a shared dihydrolipoyl dehydrogenase.

GO_REF:0000118
MARK AS OVER ANNOTATED
Summary: Cytoplasm is a generic parent of the more informative cytosol annotation already present.
Reason: Retain GO:0005829 as non-core location context instead of duplicating it with its parent.

GO_REF:0000118
KEEP AS NON CORE
Summary: A soluble cytosolic location is plausible for the bacterial carrier but is not a core function.
Reason: Retain the more specific of the two generic location annotations outside the core summary.
GO:0005960 glycine cleavage complex
IEA
GO_REF:0000002
ACCEPT
Summary: GcvH1 is the lipoyl-bearing carrier component of the four-protein system.
Reason: The reviewed UniProt record explicitly identifies P, H, T, and L proteins as system components.
Supporting Evidence:

The glycine cleavage system is composed of four proteins: P,

UNDECIDED
Summary: GcvH1 is a lipoylated carrier, but its precise role in the KT2440 lipoyl-transfer route has not been established.
Reason: Participation in a biological process does not require catalysis, and GcvH proteins can be obligatory intermediates in bacterial lipoyl relays. The covalent carrier state is certain, but available KT2440 evidence does not distinguish an active relay role from being only a LipA/LipB substrate.
GO:0019464 glycine decarboxylation via glycine cleavage system
IEA
GO_REF:0000120
ACCEPT
Summary: Intermediate shuttling by GcvH1 is required for this exact process.
Reason: UniProt describes transfer of the methylamine group from P protein to T protein on GcvH1.
Supporting Evidence:
file:PSEPK/gcvH1/gcvH1-uniprot.txt
The H protein shuttles the methylamine group of glycine from

NEW
Summary: This captures the covalently lipoylated carrier function omitted from current GOA.
Reason: The reviewed HAMAP-backed record states that GcvH1 binds one lipoyl cofactor covalently.
Supporting Evidence:
file:PSEPK/gcvH1/gcvH1-uniprot.txt
Binds 1 lipoyl cofactor covalently.

Core Functions

Covalently lipoylated H-protein carrier that shuttles the glycine-derived intermediate between the P, T, and L components.

Supporting Evidence:
  • file:PSEPK/gcvH1/gcvH1-uniprot.txt
    The H protein shuttles the methylamine group of glycine from

Suggested Questions for Experts

Q: Does GcvH1 preferentially pair with its neighboring P1/T-I proteins or exchange freely with the second paralog set?

Suggested Experiments

Experiment: Reconstitute both P/H/T combinations and cross-combinations with each candidate E3 and compare turnover.

Type: in vitro pathway reconstitution
