Homology of the ORFs with proteins in the nonredundant protein databases

Gene name	Locationd (bp)	Homologous protein (source species)	% Identitya	% Similarityb	E valuec
cddA	605–2416	Cyclohexanone monooxygenase (Acinetobacter sp.)	30	46	3 × 10−58
cddB	2499–3659	Esterase A (S. chrysomallus)	41	54	4 × 10−78
cddX	4346–4840	No hits found	N/A	N/A	N/A
cddY	5341–7236	Hypothetical protein Rv3762c (M. tuberculosis)	49	61	10−169
cddC	7295–8419	Alcohol dehydrogenase adhB (M. tuberculosis)	49	64	10−105
cddD	8459–9883	Putative aldehyde dehydrogenase (S. coelicolor)	50	63	10−127

^aPercent identity is defined as percentage of amino acids that are identical between the two proteins. N/A, not available. 

^bPercent similarity is defined as percentage of amino acids that are identical or conserved between the two proteins. 

^cExpect value. The Expect value estimates the statistical significance of the match, specifying the number of matches with a given score that is expected in a search of a database of this size absolutely by chance. 

^dLocation in reference to the 10,480-bp contig. The first ATG was chosen as the putative start codon of the proteins.
