At the N-terminal of MRJP/YELLO Wprotein, there is a strong hydrophobic sequence functioning as putative signal peptide [ 6].
This suggests that these two groups of receptors, Drosophila Tolls and mammalian TLRs, evolved independently to carry distinct functions: putative cellular and developmental roles in insects, and a role in host defense in mammals [34].
In order to delineate intracellular and transmembrane regions of Duf that are critical for its function, putative signalling motifs and regions conserved with Rst were mutated using site directed mutagenesis as indicated in Fig. 1B.
Additionally, a random set of unknown function (putative late embryogenesis abundant protein, group 3, LEA3) and unclassified (BRADI2G17170, BRADI3G28120 and BRADI2G42030) genes were also analyzed.
Among the 575 genes whose nsSNPs are homozygous and present in dbSNP build 137, the fractions with known functions, putative functions, and unknown functions are ~47, 20, and 33%, respectively (Table 3).
The most probable molecular function (or putative molecular function) was tentatively attributed to each gene family.
However, putative genes functioning on this chromosomal region remain unknown.
In C. elegans, there are few reports describing functions of putative TOM-complex subunit homologues.
The synteny, structural features and molecular function of putative KlROX1 were shown to be different from that of ROX1.
In contrast to GAS, relatively little is known about the function of putative extracellular proteins made by GBS.
