Ammonia-dependent NAD+ synthetase of Pseudomonas putida KT2440. NadE uses deamido-NAD, ATP, and free ammonium to form NAD+, AMP, and diphosphate in the terminal reaction of the deamido-NAD completion branch. This compact bacterial enzyme lacks the glutaminase module required for glutamine-dependent NAD+ synthesis.
| GO Term | Evidence | Action | Reason |
|---|---|---|---|
| GO:0003952 NAD+ synthase (glutamine-hydrolyzing) activity | IEA GO_REF:0000002 | REMOVE | Summary: Incorrect nitrogen-donor specificity propagated from a broad family. Reason: The reviewed target is explicitly an NH3-dependent NadE, carries the NH(3)-dependent NAD synthetase subfamily assignment, and lacks a glutaminase domain. Its defined reaction uses NH4+, not glutamine. Supporting Evidence: file:PSEPK/nadE/nadE-uniprot.txt RecName: Full=NH(3)-dependent NAD(+) synthetase file:PSEPK/nadE/nadE-uniprot.txt Reaction=deamido-NAD(+) + NH4(+) + ATP = AMP + diphosphate + NAD(+) + |
| GO:0004359 glutaminase activity | IEA GO_REF:0000002 | REMOVE | Summary: Incorrect InterPro over-propagation to an ammonia-dependent enzyme. Reason: Q88DF6 is a 275-residue ammonia-dependent NadE with only the NAD synthetase module; no glutaminase catalytic module is present or needed for RHEA:21188. Supporting Evidence: file:PSEPK/nadE/nadE-uniprot.txt InterPro; IPR022926; NH(3)-dep_NAD(+)_synth. |
| GO:0005524 ATP binding | IEA GO_REF:0000104 | KEEP AS NON CORE | Summary: Correct catalytic co-substrate binding, retained as non-core. Reason: ATP is a substrate of the NadE ligase reaction, but GO:0008795 is the informative catalytic function. Supporting Evidence: file:PSEPK/nadE/nadE-uniprot.txt Reaction=deamido-NAD(+) + NH4(+) + ATP = AMP + diphosphate + NAD(+) + |
| GO:0005737 cytoplasm | IEA GO_REF:0000120 | ACCEPT | Summary: Correct expected location for soluble bacterial NadE. Reason: The compact NadE enzyme is a soluble cytoplasmic protein. The claim rests on family membership plus the absence of export or membrane features; Q88DF6 belongs to the HAMAP MF_00193 ammonia-dependent NadE family (NCBIfam TIGR00552), a soluble homodimeric enzyme family, and the cached record has no SIGNAL, TRANSMEM or lipoprotein feature lines and no CC SUBCELLULAR LOCATION comment that would place it elsewhere. The record's own GO cross-reference is not cited. No KT2440 localization experiment is cached. Supporting Evidence: file:PSEPK/nadE/nadE-uniprot.txt DR HAMAP; MF_00193; NadE_ammonia_dep; 1. file:PSEPK/nadE/nadE-uniprot.txt DR NCBIfam; TIGR00552; nadE; 1. |
| GO:0008795 NAD+ synthase activity | IEA GO_REF:0000120 | ACCEPT | Summary: Correct core molecular function for the ammonia-dependent enzyme. Reason: The reviewed target and HAMAP rule specify the ammonium-dependent deamido-NAD amidation reaction RHEA:21188. Supporting Evidence: file:PSEPK/nadE/nadE-uniprot.txt Reaction=deamido-NAD(+) + NH4(+) + ATP = AMP + diphosphate + NAD(+) + |
| GO:0009435 NAD+ biosynthetic process | IEA GO_REF:0000120 | ACCEPT | Summary: Correct core biological process. Reason: NadE performs the final conversion of deamido-NAD to NAD+. Supporting Evidence: file:PSEPK/nadE/nadE-uniprot.txt PATHWAY: Cofactor biosynthesis; NAD(+) biosynthesis; NAD(+) from |
| GO:0016879 ligase activity, forming carbon-nitrogen bonds | IEA GO_REF:0000117 | MODIFY | Summary: Correct parent chemistry but too broad for this specific enzyme. Reason: GO:0008795 captures the NAD+ synthase reaction and correct nitrogen-donor class. Proposed replacements: NAD+ synthase activity |

Experiment: Measure deamido-NAD and NAD+ pools across ammonium concentrations in wild type and strains with titratable nadE expression.
