^aIn cases where the BLAST hit did not perfectly match a known tomato protein, the best BLAST hit is listed.

^bUnigene indicates the tomato gene nomenclature provided by the SOL Genomics Network at http://www.sgn.cornell.edu/index.pl.

^cLocal denotes the predicted protein location. The presence of an N-terminal signal peptide (SP) for protein secretion was analyzed with SignalP software (http://www.cbs.dtu.dk/services/SignalP). Proteins having a signal peptide probability score P > 0.75 are indicated. CP, Chloroplast-targeted protein; MT, mitochondrial-targeted protein.

^dAnnotated in the tomato EST database (http://compbio.dfci.harvard.edu/tgi/plant.html) as a protein translation inhibitor (Li et al., 2004).
