60 are grouped with the tobacco homologue in the BimC subfamily which are involved in cross-linking and antiparallel sliding of MTs (Figure 3) [ 20].
The Seven in Absentia (SinA) protein was discovered in Drosophila as a mediator of photoreceptor development [ 29 ] . Subsequently, SinA was shown to participate in the ubiquitin/proteasome pathway [ 30 31 ] . The presence of a RING finger domain in the N-terminus of the mammalian homologue of SinA, "Siah", suggests it may be involved in targeting specific proteins for degradation in the proteasome as a ubiquitin ligase [ 32 ] . Two mammalian genes encoding Siah, Siah1 and 2, are known.
The first two plant kinesins identified were found in tobacco pollen tube (pollen kinesin homologue, PKH) and tobacco phragmoplast (tobacco kinesin related protein, NtKRP125) [ 26, 27, 28, 29].
Because the Drosophila genome contains several Skp1-like genes, we call the fly Skp1 homologue dSkpA.
Even though our methods produced mediocre results at CASP1, we realised that a major problem with accurate comparative modelling had to do with the interconnected nature of protein structures [ 23 ] : If a certain region of the protein varied with respect to the homologue, then it was likely that a structurally interacting region would also vary, even if that region was conserved in sequence.
