a

Genes identified among the top 63 PPP hits versus an F420 producer profile (see Table S1 in the supplemental material).

b

TIGRFAMs HMMs built to represent clades of PPOX genes consisting only of genes from F420-producing organisms.

c

Twelve-mer sequences corresponding to the centers of the two prominent SIMBAL peaks. Residues in bold are observed primarily in the highest-scoring sequences, and underlined residues are those typical of low-scoring and known FMN-binding sequences.

d

These sequences are presumed to correspond to non-F420-binding enzymes. PdxH is a characterized FMN-binding enzyme. The non-F420-binding PPOX family consensus was constructed from a multiple sequence alignment of all PPOX family proteins from non-F420-producing species in our data set. Conserved residues are in uppercase; consensus residues are in lowercase.

e

Items in bold represent items in evidence of F420 binding for the respective gene.
