#PFAM
Curious, if someone wanted to annotate a large set of MAGs with KEGG, PFAM, CAZY, and then do some statistical comparison, how would you do that these days?

Back in the day I loved EnrichM, but the backend databases for KEGG, etc, are woefully out of date now.

I don't know much about that database, but you could download hmm profiles from PFAM if you know the PFAM ID of a particular enzyme/protein. Example: HMM of pectate lyase can be found here:

Authors published a paper in Biorxiv, they used Pfam in the study. Including #RRIDs will make this less ambiguous.

For DCD, the Principal:2 isoform was the isoform with the intact Pfam domain. Unfortunately, the Pfam domain was based on erroneous transcript predictions in primates.

Structure and function is known for the 110 aa protein (Principal:M), while the 121 aa protein (Alternative:M) is uninteresting.

We identified:

3,000+ enriched Pfam domains

16,000+ enriched AlphaFold clusters

1,500+ operons enriched in host-associated bacteria
🧬 Many with no known function—yet strongly conserved across taxa
