The presence of genes assigned with respective functional roles are shown by CyanoBase identification numbers for Synechocystis sp. strain PCC 6803, by common gene names in E. coli, and by abbreviated SEED identification numbers for all other genomes. Underlining reflects the proximity of the genes on the chromosome: in each row, numbers with matching underlining mark genes that occur in the same chromosomal cluster (illustrated in Fig. 2). Multifunctional (fused) proteins with more than one functional domain are shown in boldface type. Enzyme abbreviations are as described in the legend of Fig. 1. This table was generated using Subsystem encoding tools in SEED; the complete “NAD and NADP cofactor biosynthesis global” subsystem spreadsheet containg over 200 genomes can be viewed at http://theseed.uchicago.edu/FIG/organisms.cgi?show=cyano (select “all organisms” option).

b

Members of NadV family, identified in Haemophilus ducreyi (34), present in V-factor-independent Pasteurellaceae but not in E. coli.

c

NMNAT of NadM family (as in archaea) containing an additional ADPRP domain.

d

NMNAT of NadR family (as in H. influenzae) containing an additional RNK domain.

e

Gene is apparently interrupted by a transposon insertion.

f

?, the mechanism of NaAD amidation by single-domain NADS (lacking a GAT component) remains unknown.
