Lyubetsky Plastid-Encoded Protein Families Specific for Narrow Taxonomic Groups of Algae and Protozoa Kharkevich Institute of Information Transmission Problems, Russian Academy of Sciences, Moscow, 127994 Russia*zverkov@iitp.ru Received - 2011-12-01; Accepted - 2012-03-02 Protein clustering is useful for refining protein annotations and searching for proteins by their phylogenetic profile. We have performed the clustering of proteins encoded in the plastoms of Rhodophyta, as well as other plastid-containing species related to the Rhodophyta branch. The corresponding database and cluster search according to protein phylogenetic profile are available at http://lab6.iitp.ru/ppc/redline. Plastome-encoded proteins specific for small taxonomic groups of algae and protozoa have been found based on this database, and the search for and analysis of RNA polymerase in the nuclear genomes of Apicomplexa has been performed. algae, Apicomplexa, plastids, Rhodophyta branch, protein families, protein clusters, phylogenetic profile |
