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
.
