That is, we extend the detection of A'B' clusters to include A'xB' and A'xyB' clusters in the reference genomes, where x and y are inserted genes (a maximum of two) and A' and B' are homologs of genes A and B. Similarly, to be symmetric, we allow the gapped gene pairs in the target genome, that is, AxB or AxyB pairs where x and y are genes between A and B in the target genome.
Such searches, with Redβ proteins from different lambdoid bacteriophages as queries, retrieved not only other obvious Redβ homologs, but also the RecT protein family.
Thus, these comparisons identify previously undetected prokaryotic homologs of the eukaryotic RDRPs, the YRH proteins, which probably also have RNA-dependent RNA polymerase activity.
RNA triphosphatase is an attractive therapeutic target for fungal infections because: (i) the active site structure and catalytic mechanism of fungal RNA triphosphatase are completely different from the RNA triphosphatase domain of the metazoan capping enzyme and (ii) metazoans encode no identifiable homologs of the fungal RNA triphosphatases.
In Xenopus, biochemical analysis of replication and cell cycle events using egg extracts has helped to understand the mechanism of eukaryotic DNA replication [ 10 ] . However, two dimensional gel electrophoresis analysis of the rDNA locus showed that replication initiated at all sites tested [ 11 ] . All six human homologs of yeast and Drosophila ORC subunits have been cloned and characterized [ 12 13 ] . Other replication proteins like Cdc6, Cdt1, MCMs, Cdc45 that are essential for initiation of DNA replication have also been reported [ 12 ] . Conservation of replication factors among higher eukaryotes suggests that functionally they may play similar roles.
