A while ago some at EC has told me EC 2.7.7.n1: is not an official number. It just indicates that someone has made a request. I was told NOT to use any .n1, etc. as an Xref. However, I need to contact them on this one because it has two reactions associated with it.
What is interesting is that RHEA actually has this and makes separate reactions RHEA:54292 (APPROVED) ATP + L-threonyl-[protein] = 3-O-(5'-adenylyl)-L-threonyl-[protein] + diphosphate RHEA:54288 (APPROVED) ATP + L-tyrosyl-[protein] = diphosphate + O-(5'-adenylyl)-L-tyrosyl-[protein]
So I suppose I should make the two children to this term with the appropriate amino acid target, and then have annotations moved depending upon the substrate used.
Re. not using the 'unofficial' EC refs, I see two cases where these are already used - should they be removed?
id: GO:0052849 name: NADPH-dependent curcumin reductase activity xref: EC:1.3.1.n3
id: GO:0090409 name: malonyl-CoA synthetase activity xref: EC:6.2.1.n3
Once I get confirmation from EC I would do that. What took me by surprise is RHEA using them. I need to inquire on the status of the x.x.x.n's
And I have NO idea what makes an 'n1' vs 'n3" in these naming schemes.
Fired off the questions; I found the old email and I was told "These letters cannot be used. They are only internal place holders until the entries go to review." My asking about them might get them fast-tracked though.
OK, thanks. We will see.... I'm also unclear what the turnaround time might be in changing an internal ID to an official one. (Actually, if they really are 'internal', why are they available on the public website at all...?)
Lol; I have the exact same questions!
So today: "EC numbers including an 'n' as part of the serial digit are preliminary EC numbers, i.e. EC numbers describing well characterized enzymes that SIB have corrected while waiting for them to be integrated in the EC list. We did that during a period when we (I) was not involved in the IUBMB nomenclature work, and where waiting times for new EC numbers were even longer than they are now.
So, we can use; so will do this for you and close
OK, that's a clear reply. Thanks for adding.
