Cmpp16: a plant 'paralog' of plant viral movement proteins
This expectation is accommodated by the observation that P. aeruginosa possesses a paralog encoded by gene PA4447 [ 19] that must function in vivo as IAP aminotransferase as it is closely linked with other genes of histidine biosynthesis.
This protein was identified as a 'paralog' (generally, this term refers to homologous genes related by duplication within the same genome) of the viral MPs on the basis of sequence similarity detected using the Megalign program [ 33].
Of these 17 pseudogenes, 15 are recombinationally derived (with introns, in tandem to their functional paralogs), one ( Mgstl-Psi ) is retrotransposed (with a poly(A) tail, lacking introns which its functional paralog possesses), and one is too degenerate to classify definitively.
This unconstrained paralog is then free to accumulate neutral mutations that would have been deleterious in a unique gene [ 1].
