Sequence analysis of putative ORFs
| ORF | Size (bp/aa)a | Plausible functionb | Protein with highest similarity | Similarity at amino acid level (%) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| orf1 | 1,506/501 | Dehydrogenase | Nocardia farcinica aldehyde dehydrogenase (BAD58112) | 46 |
| orf2 | 1,731/576 | Transcriptional activator | Nectria haematococca binuclear Zn transcription factor (AY218847) | 38 |
| orf3 | 990/329 | Oxygenase | Aspergillus oryzae isopenicillin N synthase and related dioxygenases (BAE62120) | 41 |
| orf4 | 942/313 | Oxidoreductase | Penicillium citrinum oxidoreductase (BAC20563) | 26 |
| orf5 | 1,566/521 | Transporter | Aspergillus fumigatus membrane transporter (EAL93985) | 58 |
a
The predicted amino acid sequences for the ORFs were deduced following removal of the putative intron regions. aa, amino acids.
b
The function of each encoded protein was deduced with its putative functional domains and from the reported function of the protein homolog showing the highest degree of similarity.
