We thus postulate that APIP12 could represent a unique protein sharing sequence and structure similarity to Nup98 family.
In this work we studied the possibility of cross extinction of rice genes sharing sequence homology outside the sequence of OsSLR1 GST.
The full-length MELO transcript encoded a polypeptide of 295 amino acids, containing motifs conserved among known elongases and sharing sequence identity with previously identified polyunsaturated fatty acid elongases.
We thank Dr Patrick Meraldi for sharing sequence data prior to publication.
Five human DNA helicases sharing sequence similarity with the E. coli RecQ helicase have been identified.
That Rnd3 binds to a region in the N-terminal of Syx sharing sequence similarity with the Raf-1 RBD is particularly interesting.
Since its initial discovery, several cDNAs sharing sequence homology to HN have been identified in plants, nematodes, and rodents demonstrating that HN is evolutionarily conserved [2].
It is the largest member of a protein family with three paralogs (dysbindin-1, -2, and -3) encoded by different genes yet sharing sequence homology in a region called the dysbindin domain [5].
We also found a stretch of genomic sequence that could be translated into a short CatSper3 fragment sharing sequence similarity with a region in human CatSper3 and the putative chicken CatSper3 fragment (Fig. 4B).
I would like to thank Grigorios Oikonomou for help with polymorphism sequencing, for sharing unpublished results, and for comments on the manuscript, Max Heiman for discussions, and Oliver Hobert and Henry Bigelow for sharing sequence data and for extensive discussions.
As a brief comment of our results, we found that none of the well-known protective antigens under our study present putative, common linear B-cell epitopes with the host proteins, which demonstrates the existence of a system that tries to avoid autoimmunity that select linear B-cell epitopes not sharing sequence stretches with human proteins.
