From Fruitfly Kegg Entry To Ko Id

I have a long list of fruitfly KEGG entries. I and want to get their corresponding KO IDs. For example, the entry Dmel_CG17544 corresponds to K00232. Is there a quick way to finish this conversion? I guess there should be a file describing the relationship of fruitfly entries and KO IDs. If yes, where to get it? Many thanks! Happy 2012!

Use TogoWS

TogoWS provides a URL for the KEGG Orthology line in a KEGG Genes entry.

The URL of the KO Line of the KEGG/GENES Dmel_CG17544:

http://togows.dbcls.jp/entry/kegg-genes/dme:Dmel_CG17544/orthologs

and you obtain the KEGG Orthology line:

K00232  acyl-CoA oxidase [EC:1.3.3.6]

You can get KO IDs by the corresponding URLs generated from your list with (1) Galaxy, (2) Google Refine, (3) scripting, and so on.
