X Abstract

The parasitic bacterium Mycoplasma genitalium has a small, reduced genome with close to a basic set of genes. As a first step toward determining the families of protein domains that form the products of these genes, we have used the multiple sequence programs PSI-BLAST and GEANFAMMER to match the sequences of the 467 gene products of M. genitalium to the sequences of the domains that form proteins of known structure [Protein Data Bank (PDB) sequences]. PDB sequences (274) match all of 106 M. genitalium sequences and some parts of another 85; thus, 41\% of its total sequences are matched in all or part. The evolutionary relationships of the PDB domains that match M. genitalium are described in the structural classification of proteins (SCOP) database. Using this information, we show that the domains in the matched M. genitalium sequences come from 114 superfamilies and that 58\% of them have arisen by gene duplication. This level of d...

CiteULike organises scholarly (or academic) papers or literature and provides bibliographic (which means it makes bibliographies) for universities and higher education establishments. It helps undergraduates and postgraduates. People studying for PhDs or in postdoctoral (postdoc) positions. The service is similar in scope to EndNote or RefWorks or any other reference manager like BibTeX, but it is a social bookmarking service for scientists and humanities researchers.
