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 Term | Evidence | Action | Reason |
|---|---|---|---|
| GO:0005737 cytoplasm | IEA 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:0005829 cytosol | IEA 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: file:PSEPK/gcvH1/gcvH1-uniprot.txt The glycine cleavage system is composed of four proteins: P, |
| GO:0009249 protein lipoylation | IEA GO_REF:0000118 | 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 |
| GO:0031405 lipoic acid binding | ISS file:PSEPK/gcvH1/gcvH1-uniprot.txt | 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. |

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