We list protein names with organism names in parentheses. Organism names are not indicated when detected peptides perfectly match the previously reported E. histolytica proteins. In cases where highest similarity is demonstrated against putative homologs from other organisms, protein names, organism sources in parentheses, and percent identities are shown. We show putative protein names in cases where (i) homologues with known or predicted functions were found and (ii) amino acid identity and E value are higher than 25% and better than 10−5, respectively.
Annotation at NCBI nonredundant database is shown while this entry is annotated differently in the E. histolytica Genome Database at TIGR.
Frequency (%) = (number of peptides mapped to each protein)/(total number of peptides detected in the phagosome sample) × 100.
Isotypes of Hgl, Igl, and Lgl were not assigned due to high similarity among these isotypes.
Rab7A shows 26 to 44% identity to other Rab7 isotypes.
EH5274 acid phosphatase shows 14% identity to EH4000.
EH5686 phospholipase B shows 8.3% identity to EH6042.
EH790 serine protease shows 16% identity to EH3172.
EH5038 calcium-transporting ATPase shows 83% identity to EH6704.
EH2856 and EH5741 encode partial proteins of a single pyridine nucleotide transhydrogenase.
