All gene names that start with an Y such as:
  • e. Coli K-12 MG1655 gene ytdX
  • e. Coli K-12 MG1655 gene yaaX
appear to be proteins of unknown function.
UniProt for example describes YaaX as "Uncharacterized protein YaaX".
As function is discovered, they then change it to a better name, e.g. to names such as the E. Coli K-12 MG1655 transcription unit thrLABC proteins all of which have a clear name due to threonine.
There are many other y??? as of 2021! Though they do tend to be smaller molecules.
