Functional characterization of Genlisea aurea (S8E8K3) protein

Abstract

This work predicts the functions of Genlisea aurea (S8E8K3) protein. Identification of corresponding proteins, conserved domains, functions and pedigree tree of target and corresponding proteins was obtained. Uniprot database, Basic Local Alignment Search Tool (BLAST) and Clustal Omega were used in this study. Results indicated that proteins from Sesamum indicum (XP011073982.1), Erythranthe guttate (XP012836557.1), Handroanthus impetiginosus (PIN05468.1) and Olea europaea var. sylvestris (XP022874946.1) showed 91%, 90%, 89% and 87% similarity, respectively, to S8E8K3. Model proteins all possessed WD40 domain. All model proteins functioned as ribonucleoprotein and phylogenetic tree showed that all proteins had eukaryotic origin. Therefore, S8E8K3 is and performs the role of a ribonucleoprotein.
