a

Molecular weight in kDa

b

Genes in parenthesis show weak similarity by Blast

c

The first number indicates the number of different peptides detected with each of the tandem affinity purification-tagged constructs, the number in parenthesis shows the number of experiments in which peptides were detected

d

Subunits shared between RNAPI, II and III in yeast and human

e

This peptide was identified by manual analysis of the Sequest output files, not by PeptideProphet.

f

Not in original L. major genome annotation; found by tBlastN analysis using Tb927.3.1250

g

LmjF02.0680 is probably a truncated pseudogene

h

Only a non-tryptic peptide was detected

i

Leishmania major orthologue not yet identified

j

Subunits shared between RNAPI and III in yeast and human
