Deciphering the functional role of hypothetical proteins from Chloroflexus aurantiacs J-10-f1 using bioinformatics approach.

ABSTRACT: Chloroflexus aurantiacus J-10-f1 is an anoxygenic, photosynthetic, facultative autotrophic gram negative bacterium found from hot spring at a temperature range of 50-60°C. It can sustain itself in dark only if oxygen is available thereby exhibiting a dark orange color, however display a dark green color when grown in sunlight. Genome of the organism contains total of 3853 proteins out of which 785 (~20%) proteins are uncharacterised or hypothetical proteins (HPs). Therefore in this work we have characterized the 785 hypothetical proteins of Chloroflexus aurantiacus J-10-f1 using bioinformatics tools and databases. HPs annotated by more than five domain prediction tools were filtered and named high confidence-hypothetical proteins (HC-HPs). These HC-HPs were further annotated
